Modern Day Love @ it’s Finest
A workaholic general manager of a fashion group company + a young woman about to study abroad. Can their connection survive the distance?
Okay, I’m just going to start by telling you that I am in no way a fashionista. Do I like pretty clothes? Yes. Are they a big focal point of my life? Not at all. I mention this for anyone who’s unsure about watching this drama since the plot line revolves around the world of fashion - that’s not an interest of mine but I still thoroughly enjoyed this drama thanks to the Leads’ stellar chemistry. Even though I didn’t understand all the fashion terminology or the business decisions or even the reverence & value certain design techniques hold, I still appreciated the hard work the characters were putting in to make their goals & dreams a success. You don’t have to understand someone’s visions to admire their heart. 💜
This show falls in the opposites attract trope. He’s from a wealthy & affluent family while she comes from a lower income, single parent home. He’s the head of a well-established company while she’s still in school. She’s quirky, optimistic, & a dreamer while he’s more serious, task-oriented, & focused. None of these things are marks against them, I’m simply stating some of their differences.
Despite these things, though, this duo forms a friendship after an initial misunderstanding at their first meeting. The ML is entranced by her from the start, but the FL isn’t quite so impressed. Nonetheless, after their paths keep crossings & their interactions increase, she finds her feelings for him morphing into something more than a general liking. Then the annoying female wannabe love rival gets in her head & makes her doubt him, leading her to leave for her studies abroad without letting him explain. That doesn’t deter the ML, though. As soon as he’s able, he’s following behind her to figure out what happened.
Oh, how I love his pursuit of her. While I think the FL acted somewhat childish & petty with her refusal to just hear him out & trust his side of the story, I do understand that she was operating out of a desire to protect her heart while believing he was involved with another woman. Let me tell you - I LOVE the scene where he finally puts those notions to rest, confesses she’s the one he wants, & kisses her for the first time. It’s a fan your face & melt your screen type of kiss, which I am such a fan of! 🔥🫠 I’m so glad that this drama didn’t have any lame, fish-kisses but instead gave us lotsssss of good smooches for us romance lovers to enjoy!
Like I mentioned earlier, the Leads have amazing chemistry & it never eases off. I know sometimes, once the Leads are finally a couple, their chemistry & flirting kind of fizzles out {{ PSA to the writers - we don’t want that!! Make their chemistry strong for the whole show! }}, but that’s not at all the case with this drama. This duo is affectionate & very clearly attracted to one another the whole way through. 🤗
Once they clear up the initial misunderstandings, both confess their feelings, & officially get together - that’s it. They don’t let anyone come between them (& boy do the love rivals try! 🤦🏻♀️😡) This couple actually t.a.l.k.s. to each other when crud happens which is super refreshing (thank you for no drama-trauma, Writers!) I know others have complained about the FL’s “baby-ness” when she’s with the ML, but I didn’t find it annoying at all. I actually quite enjoy their duality - both were cute & quirky with each other while being strong & no-one’s fool with the rest of the world.
I’m a BIG fan of them not being weak in the face of the rivals or giving those people undue attention. They both put boundaries in place with those pesky “friends” who kept trying to pursue them & break them up. I think this shows that the Leads have respect for themselves & for their significant other. There’s no need to cater to & entertain toxic people. Buh-bye, delusional people! (Although they didn’t actually go away in this drama, this just finally clued in that they didn’t stand a chance & eventually moved on. 🤷🏻♀️)
One thing I didn’t like was the ML’s mother. Um, lady - who do you think you are that you deem yourself so high & mighty that the FL isn’t worthy of your family name? Like, really?? We’re all human beings, equal in value. I’m glad the ML NEVER gave into her selfish demands, though I wish she would’ve had a harsher wake up call instead of them just going about their lives & waiting for her to get with the program. BUT I understand it’s his mom & outside of this annoyance of hers, they had a good relationship. I loooooved the way the FL handled her - kudos, girl! She stood up for herself while remaining respectful of her position as an elder.
I could rave longer, but I’d rather you stop reading this & just push play to experience this drama’s beauty for yourself. 💕
