A fun RomCom - Jisoo was perfectly fine
For what it is, a fun RomCom, it's perfect.
I'm not looking for in-depth back stories, just enough for the story to make sense, and this show did that.
Honestly I was a bit worried with an idol cast as the main lead, but I thought Jisoo was perfect. If anyone takes issue with her acting, it's probably more how the character was written. Honestly I went into it looking for flaws and cringe, but I was pleasantly surprised. Also keep in mind, she is a RomCom character, so she is supposed to be slightly exaggerated in her expressions. And when she needed to be serious, she pulled that off too.
Seo In Guk was fantastic as always. He plays two different characters, and even without the different hair, you can tell the difference.
Some of the cameos were a bit overkill, not gonna lie. Lots of heavy hitters with only a few minutes.
Lee Soo-hyuk is surprisingly hilarious. I've only seen him act in serious dramas or as a serious character, so this was the first time seeing him in a RomCom. He's only in it in the beginning, but he did a fantastic job.
The story was great for me. I think some people assumed it was going to be different boyfriends each episode, but that's not it, and I'm glad it wasn't. It's how Seo Mirae eventually learns to love in the real world.
Anyway, I thought it was fun and sweet. Not too heavy, just a bit of nice entertainment.
