Seriously, BOF remakes need to stop. It's not like they're giving it something new, and there are SO many remakes and they're so easy to find and watch, we don't need more copies of this toxic trash
The only problem with this drama is the normalization of the sick behavior of korean fandom culture, I have no other complains. Of you don't like cliches and slice-of-life, just don't watch it because you probably won't be able to enjoy it
The fact that you prefer the old drama style... Romcoms now a days focus more on life conflicts, indeed, but it always comes with something that the leads need to learn and evolute. Her Private Life shows a mature couple that actually try to fix the problems, and not to run away winning about how they were hurt - like the old style loved to do. It's was about loving, forgiving, grow up and deal with your ghosts. I also find childhood links a rather meh thing, but it was very well made in here. Actually, everything you complained about was amazingly done in Her Private Life. Sadly you can't get yourself to enjoy it
