Is this worth watching because I saw a clip and it's the male lead forcefully kissing the female lead? I dislike…
It’s a weaker version of “Provoke.” If you liked that, you might like this. ML does force-kiss her in one scene, but she wasn’t hating it. He’s a simp for her most of the time. I have fallen asleep through a lot of it though.
I find the FL unappealing. I can’t tell if it’s the actress or the character. Maybe a bit of both. Nahhh , it’s probably just the character I don’t care for. But, I didn’t care for “Grab Your Love” either. She’s pretty though. Has a Zhang-Jing-Yi vibe.
The leads are in their 40s. They look great for their age. I thought the FL looked a bit mature, but I didn’t expect 42. I easily thought they were both 30ish. Their visuals aren’t my cup of tea per se, but it’s refreshing nonetheless to see mature actors being used for dramas like this instead of the 20-something-yr-old babies we usually see.
when do leads start to spend more time together and romance to?
Ep 30 forehead kiss; ep 32 & 36 steamy kiss. But, ep 9, he opens up to FL a bit, he starts to let down his guard. Ep 14/15, he steps up his flirting, but she is oblivious.
All I can think of when I see these leads are “Lighter and Princess” and “My Unicorn Girl.” I can’t buy their performances in this drama. ML as a friendly guy just isn’t believable. L&P left scars. FL isn’t appealing here. So flat. She was so perky and delightful in Unicorn Girl.
Now, even though I just did all that criticizing, the drama itself is still light and pleasant even though nothing interesting is really happening. Something gentle for the mind after so many mean-spirited revenge dramas.
Side note—Moon Ga Young’s outfits are everything in this drama. So pretty.
