A Very Mixed Bag
Kim Seonho's performance in particular was subpar, often one-note and flat, though he had a few nice moments with the FL. The acting of the leads makes up a huge part of my enjoyment of romance dramas so I was never as invested as I would have liked.The writing likewise managed to create some nice moments but mostly it didn't really capitalize on the "interpreter in the middle of dates" reality tv setting. The scenery was very picturesque and clearly a lot of money was thrown in the production but what for?
I was initially skeptical about the inclusion of Do Rami but it turned out alright, even if the writing flip-flopped in quality when it came to that plotline too.
Watchable but also forgettable.

WTF was that ending. I don't go into romcom to have an unhappy ending where the guy dies just before he was about to reunite with our MC and she spends years not knowing about it and resenting him. The contrived misunderstandings with the bffs stopping them from being together were only bearable if it all led to a happy ending! The genre shift came so completely out of nowhere I was just baffled and ended up checked out. It reeks of the romcom that didn't want to be like the other romcoms and just failed at being anything satisfying. Way to ruin the outstanding performances of your amazing, charismatic, and personable cast!Was this review helpful to you?
