Odd But Entertaining

I was immediately drawn in by two scenes shown in the intro: a beautifully dark, rainy night with the lovely FL bending down to "shake hands" with a young man sitting on the concrete and a dynamic, dancing shot of ML in a suit. Sadly, neither one of those featured in the drama! Maybe that's par for the odd drama I just watched.

The concept was having a young man as a pet. I totally bought the ML as a dog! He had puppy dog eyes and shaggy hair. He was pretty adorable. Also appealing was the way ML and FL filled in the empty spots of each other's lives. There were warm moments between the two that were a joy to watch.

This could have been a very sweet, fluffy romcom, but it made me uncomfortable that the FL kept having sex with her boyfriend, the 2ML, when it was evident she wasn't that into him and felt closer to the ML. Too much time was spent on FL/2ML's relationship to the detriment of the drama. Judicious editing could have eliminated at least two episodes of FL's endless waffling between the two men. Also, the 2FL was a horrible person. I can't see an accomplished man falling for her, but love is blind, as they say. If she'd been edited out, the drama would have probably lost another two episodes. Twelve episodes would have made a tighter, better story.

ML's dance scenes were awesome and worth an extra half star.
