All because that damn kiss
I genuinely enjoyed this show, not because it's actually great or that it's in any way unique.
İt's the most cliché series ever, full of overused moments that been done to death in many dramas before.
But it's fits my mood, and it's very bing-able.
Story: not the best, stereotypical and repeated many times, only elevated by the performance and the fast pace, I didn't find it boring, at least untill ep11 or 12 where it deviated a little from it's original path.
This is a romcom and it gave us that, the last couple of episodes, after everything is good with the leads and they reached their happy end, the writer suddenly remembered that there were some bad guys that needed to be stopped and a conspiracy that needed to be exposed, also we still have some very very original tropes to add to the mix like, breaking up, accident, memory loss, bad character goes good, also a sudden change of a heart to give the second couple their happy end ...
So Story-wise, not the best, cliché but consistent till the last 2 episodes, then another types of cliché but not terrible.
Cast and characters:
Now I have two things to say here about the actors and about their performance as their own character, because everyone was good but Ki Yong, my man shines here like no one else, I mainly watched for Eun Jin because I'm a huge fan but Ki Yong stole the whole show, and I'm talking about his performance not the character himself, he showed a wide range of emotions he was spectacular, he gave us an expression for each feeling and I genuinely enjoyed him as a dorky, revengeful in a funny way and seriously immature adult.
Of course the rest of the cast were amazing, but as I said Ki Yong stole the show İMO.
Characters: generally I didn't expect any depth in the characters but I found that Jo Hyeok was so complicated and layered character, surprisingly so, also Da rim isn't the original damsel in distress, but she also isn't the modern strong independent lady that doesn't need a man to rescue her, I don't know how they managed to add the Cinderella idea but at the same time makes here as mature and dependable as she actually is, so I loved the two leads, but hated SFL, she was soo pushy and annoying, I felt SML deserves better, she is a very stressful person, I don't think anyone like her would fit someone as mature and kind as SeonU, even if she gets along with Jun, like she is the same mental age that's probably why they gets along so SeonU is very suitable for her, he is her best choice but she will only drains him out of energy and he need someone much better.
I don't dive deep in characters and stories of the romcoms I watch especially the ones full of cliché and overused ideas, but this deserves to be talked about ~~
