RomCom where Com is before Rom
I dunno when was the last time I saw a rom com that made me laugh so I much. I would categorize it as a comedy before a romance though romance is certainly a bulwark of the plot. It had a plot that certainly used the general tropes of romcom genre but they were used well, the cohabitation, the cold powerful CEO and the bubbly cheerful FL. Yet they were not mere props but actually used to move the story forward. ML definitely made me a believer in the character he was portraying, as did all of the support cast. If I had to pick one thing, I'd probably say the FL while good in her own scenes, left me feeling a bit empty in her scenes with the ML. I don't know why, but their chemistry was better when they were not in love. Which is weird to say the least?
The comedy was perfect, the supporting cast did an amazing job and their characters were just adorable. I do like my romcoms with a dash of bromance and this was bromance X 6 (let's not forget the prosecutor nyim). Speaking of, I wish his story arc was also closed to some extent. While I agree that to show him switching to another woman right away would be depicting him as a shallow person, which he is not, I wish the closing scenes had shown his movement forward, we know the officer in his office likes him, would have been nice to at least see him realize there is a spark there.
The story of preconceived notions, society's harsh views and redemption, was relevant, we often forget that our criticisms and harsh judgement can deter someone from trying to do better, because we push them back towards the path they are trying to escape, simply because it is what they know, it is comfortable or it is all that is left available to them in order to survive.
All in all I highly recommend this story if you like fluffy, rom coms with focus on comedy, bromance and what it means to be family.
