Rather Bland
I was looking for something light and funny and chose this on a whim, because of familiarity with the cast.
Overall, it is a light and silly drama with a little bit of tragedy mixed in.
The shorter run did result in the same issues as most short dramas. The main problems being no time for decent world building, pacing issues, no real character development and a very simple plot. In short dramas, these flaws are usually covered up by chemistry between the cast. Unfortunately, in this drama there was close to no chemistry between any of the characters. As there's no time to develop any, the chemistry has to be natural no matter the relationship between the characters. The casting of main leads with a 16 year age difference was a huge mistake. A difference that large shows up on screen no matter what. Without chemistry, this drama ended up being very bland for me.
