The plot may seem boring and uninspired at first glance, but please give this a watch! Although it is not without flaws, I think it was interesting and offered something different. Don't be fooled by the cover poster's bright and lighthearted appearance, this show deals with plenty of serious topics such as workplace harassment, sexism, and other societal problems, as well as relationship problems. However, that's not to say all is gloomy. It balances being heartwarming, comedic and emotional pretty well, and it was overall very enjoyable to watch. The characters and relationships were three-dimensional and developed in very natural paces. The only problems I ran into were that I couldn't really stand Horang, and the last two episodes definitely left a sour taste in my mouth with the way it was handled. Still a very worthwhile watch, though.
I don't know what to feel about this. I fell in love with the male lead and side cast of characters, but god I cannot stand the female lead. Dropped this at episode 13 because I just couldn't stand all the bullshit the writers decided to throw in and the fact that the female lead never grows and stays irritating and an irrational lunatic.
I'm glad I decided to give this a try despite the bad reviews! The story is nothing special, and there's plenty of tropes and clichés, but the leads made the show worth it. Plot got a bit annoying at times, but it's perfect for when you're just looking for something light and easygoing to watch. It's nothing memorable, but it was somewhat enjoyable.
I've rewatched this 6 times and all I can say is that it's so enjoyable to watch each time. Please give this show a try if you're wondering whether to watch it or not! Not the most realistic show and has a few flaws, but it's perfect for if you're looking for a simple and sweet show with an extremely likeable cast of characters to escape from everyday life! The romance between the leads has some really good progression, and they have such amazing chemistry.
The movie was okay. However, the leads were pretty unlikeable, and if you take a step back and look at their actions,…
This movie resulted in the first time I ever had second lead syndrome. I'm just going to pretend the ending didn't happen. While I think that it's interesting that they decided to end it in that way, the male lead's personality and his relationship with Hatori just wasn't strong enough to really sell me that they were meant to be together. The chemistry between Hatori and Kosuke was just so much better.
As for the characters having terrible personalities: Female lead literally tries to steal Rita when he's already taken, and doesn't feel sorry at all for badmouthing and treating Adachi like shit.. Male lead is boring as hell, which just added to the SLS. Even Kosuke has some questionable moments. I agree so much with the people that pity Adachi, the only reason we see her as a villain is just because she's not the main character. Yes, what she does is extremely manipulative and terrible, but she's honestly one of the better characters in the story. From the beginning Hatori literally tries to break their relationship up (which is fucked up), while Adachi actually tries to be accommodating and kind to Hatori. I can't fully blame her for becoming desperate enough to do what she does. She even admits to her wrongdoings so all I felt for her in the end was pity, rather than resentment.
The movie was okay. However, the leads were pretty unlikeable, and if you take a step back and look at their actions, they actually have horrible personalities (explained under the spoiler), and overall, the story was just extremely unsatisfying. Would not recommend to watch.
This drama has its flaws here and there but I would definitely recommend it to watch! It's sweet and heartwarming, and has some pretty good messages. Personally I found the characters a bit annoying at the start but this show does have some amazing character development! I'm glad I stuck with it bc at the end I actually really loved the characters and enjoyed seeing how far they had come. The way the romance between the leads blossomed was also just so wonderful to watch.
disappointed indeed....LMFAO...boring male lead.....i was thinking the same thing...especially with little to…
Lmao I dropped it at around 15 episodes as well, I wanted to try push myself to finish it but I just couldn't stand the male lead, overacting, and side characters anymore. I genuinely don't get how people find blank faced boring male leads attractive or interesting to watch. I was even more disappointed bc everyone talked about it as if it's some revolutionary drama but it was just like every other generic Asian drama out there.
Had high expectations for this, but was quite disappointed. While I liked that there wasn't silly misunderstandings between the leads, they had no chemistry and the male lead was so boring. The only thing I liked was the female lead and the male lead's roommates, but the rest of the cast were just dumb and shallow generic character tropes :/ I also usually don't mind clichés if there wasn't too many ridiculous ones, but this show was ladden with them.
Plot is a bit meh, especially in the final episodes, but I really enjoyed the characters and relationships in the drama! The leads had one of the best and healthiest relationships I've ever seen in dramas. I love that misunderstandings weren't dragged out just for the sake of drama, and I really enjoyed seeing good communication between the characters. The characters also had good development and were all highly likeable at the end! Only problem is all the dumb plot twists at the end, most of them just felt really unnecessary and ridiculous..
Love Jaemin and the leads were actually pretty decent, and I liked the characters, but damn the pacing and writing really could've been a lot better...
Ngl kinda got tired of Kyungseok as the story progressed. His lack of facial expressions just made emotional scenes less impactful eg when Mirae was crying in front of him and his mother and he didn't even look the slightest bit concerned, I was just so put off by it, like the love of your life was literally having a breakdown in front of you and you're just like :l ???? I don't think it was Eunwoo's complete fault though, I wish the writers just made his character... less flat? I did really like Mirae though, she stayed likeable for me the entire time and I liked seeing her development. Overall, a few parts put me off but it was enjoyable so I don't dislike it. I don't think I'd rewatch it though
I loved the leads and the romance part of this, but I definitely feel like it could've done without the detective thriller part of it. I just ended up skipping all the thriller parts of it because it was just so dragged out that I got bored of it. They also made the detectives unrealistically stupid and incompetent for the sake of dragging it out. They didn't even do a good job trying to mix the two genres (but honestly how do you even make romantic comedy and dark thriller work together??), the transition between romantic scenes and the detective thriller scenes was just so jarring and out of place each time. If we're talking about just the romantic comedy part of this, I loved it. But as a whole including the detective thriller parts? It was just a mess.
Was so excited about this show in the start because I loved the characters and the story, but I knew I should've been wary when I saw that it had 40 episodes. I was scared that it'd drag on and it did exactly just that. I toughed it out and finished all 40 episodes but by the end I just hated the show and especially the leads so much. The leads were quite likeable and levelheaded at the start but halfway through it they started acting so childish for no reason just to drag the show on.
Loved s1 and s2, but felt like s3 fell a bit short. Ended up disliking Hyunseung and Jiwon this season despite having loved them before. It was just the same Hyunseung-Jiwon drama over and over again, and barely saw Minwoo and Jaein
