Kindly, enlighten me. Just watched only one episode. What do you think was missing?
The chemistry was lacking in a major way, ML was a lot better at it but FL's scenes and actions failed to convey her feeling for the ML, it felt like they got together cuz the script needed them to be together. FL was quite bland too, she was also quite wishy-washy in telling her ex to back off, and it hurt the ML for several episodes, the ex was a prominent nuisance for 3/4 episodes. FL's mom is also an annoying, abusive wife with a major inferiority complex and zero redeeming qualities. The OST and the background music is quite bland too, and it fails to convey the levity or seriousness of the scenes. All in all it's a melodrama advertising itself as a romcom, but it has very little rom and very little com, for it to be called that.
Aww I get your point about the romcom, it's due to how they marketed it before it aired . For Bae Seokryu It can…
"but at last she did say it in a more matured way" by then it was too late, I had already checked out, FL treated ML like a doormat during that whole situation with her ex that for some reason took 3/4 episodes to resolves, irl if I see someone I'm interested and have told my feelings and intentions to, still hanging and talking like FL was with her ex, I'll run for the hills, that is such an obvious red flag.
the drama by then started to feel soap-operay, overly draggy just to reach a set number of episodes, not something I enjoy watching so I dropped it.
Bae Seok Ryu found it difficult to make her ex-boyfriend leave for several reasons. Although she didn’t have…
"The story isn’t a romcom" that's the feeling I got, but go look at the drama's genres and nowhere can you see any mention of melodrama. the whole FL hesitating to let got of her ex left a bad taste in my mouth, you might try to justify it with guilt or a sense of obligation but what I call it is a lack of passion and feelings for the ML, to me it felt like she chose the ML cuz the script dictated it, it didn't feel natural, it didn't feel organic, she never showed any emotions for ML to justify their relationship. we kept seeing ML's passion and feelings for her but we never got any from FL.
It would have been better if FL read the letter in secret and thought over it and by discovering ML's feelings she found herself drawn to him more and more and then we get the ex, if we could have gotten that then yeah it would have been much better.
She was dealing with residual feelings, but she didn't like her ex. While her behavior might have seemed like…
I understand slow-burns, I watch Cdramas regularly and can take slow-burns easily, as long as the story has some meat and there is some measure of a chemistry. I skipped a head and even after they get together, there isn't much of a chemistry or passion to speak off. And I get that she was dealing with residual feeling, but she had to consider ML's feelings too, he had already confessed and he kept seeing them together without an answer from FL, she kept him on ice to be used later(at least that's the feeling I got). Also you've said it's a melodrama but nowhere in the genres or tags can you see melo.
on episode 8 and I'll probably drop it, FL's ex is getting way too much screen time, she is also being way too wishy-washy with him and not firm enough in telling him to fuck off, in contrast ML was quite firm with his ex and sat a boundary with her. The lack of chemistry between the leads and the bland OST is also a point against the drama. I came to this expecting a rom-com, but this is more of a melo rather than a rom or com. all in all very disappointed so far.
When did they get together?Any breakup? How long?Any love triangle? Annoying?Happy ending?
The happy ending is more a meh ending than happy. no love triangle but the FL's ex who is married is creepily around and still has feelings for the FL and that bothered me a lot, it also had that trope of the ML going away to a different country and then suddenly he's back and the drama just ends.
This drama was super weird for me, U Jae ruined it for me, dude never got punished for the shit he pulled, and he seemed quite evil at times. SML's mother was also robbing me the wrong way the entire time. Main couple didn't feel like they had any chemistry. If the drama was just about the second couple story but more fleshed out, it would have been much better.
Now that it's over, it's time for my usual questions to decide if I'll watch it: 1.Happy ending? 2.Love triangle? 3.annoying secondary characters? SML? 4.break up?

obviously that's a fact, if everyone felt the same way then earth would be quite a boring place to live.
that's the feeling I got, but go look at the drama's genres and nowhere can you see any mention of melodrama.

SML is so fucking annoying And has way too much screen time.
The lack of chemistry between the leads and the bland OST is also a point against the drama.
