Slow burn
Given that this was a jdrama, i was crossing my fingers at the first ep to not have a naive asf to the point of annoying FLs and a two dimensional script. since i personally had bad expeirence w japanese romcom. But this one did not disappoint. I genuinely liked the FL, the ML and many other supporting characters, i loved how the couple grew together as one and also grew individually. I really adored their cute moments together in the house, it felt so comforting and idk nostalgic? Summary is i really shipped them although there was no skinship like at all, a little skinship would've made them perfect yknow? But i don't mind much. I literally squealed when they held hands, literally.BUT the last ep or two GOSH were they frustrating, i literally yelled at the screen a couple times. I wanted to open some of those characters especially our dear lovely MCs like a book and wanted to read their thoughts that lead up to making decisions that extremely frustrating. Like what novel reasons ya'll had to be doing whatever tf ya'll did?? Till now idk.
And as the title says, this is slowburn like super slow and as i mentioned barely any skinship, you won't even knowat what point they liked each other and i bet they don't either. Also the romance isn't like the super main focus so if u want a show thats wholly only romance this is not it.
Anyways, overall this is lovely, its my fav jdrama as of now, really cute n wholesome nice nice.

character potential wasted
dropped it at ep 5The story so had me, the whole premise is really interesting, i loved the characters, the cast is so good but what the hell happened?? The romance was so underdeveloped like it just happened? What, when, how, why, no explanation shit just happened. I'm not gonna deny they had chemistry, they were adorable, but it was so abrupt??
I thought i should mention how much i loved the fl's character, minus her weird fangirling, she's cool asf i wish to see more characters like that. I also appreciate the actress' character and i was curious abt her story but nah gonna drop it

unremarkable run-of-the-mill characters
I'd dropped this before but i forgot why so i thought i'd give it another go cz im such a sucker for arranged marriage stuff. Now that i've watched till ep 7, I can see why I'd dropped it.Characters are the very essence of a story, you see (at least to me). And this story made it a point to have very prototypical characters with nothing distinctively likable about them. I'll dissect them.
Ju Jang Mi is your typical "im so kind" type of fl that has to go out of her way to butt into other ppl's business even when she's told not to bc she thinks she's such an oh so great saint sent to save everyone in the world. In simple words, she's a pushover. She's the type of gal guys call "easy" (the show itself points it out) and she freaking doesn't change after getting dumped sm times? She's just so painfully embarrassing to watch. But somehow ALL the guys already like this dumb cockroach that still didn't get its character development? like nani da fu
Kong Gi Tae was not too bad but also a very classic example of "rich mean man" ML ft past traumas. I felt bad for him what with all these dysfunctional annoying af women in his life. But why does he always gotta yell at her no explanation whatsoever? And he never apologizes; it's just brushed off. Do I feel bad for her tho? with the stuff she does nah
Kang Se A was another typical "anti-fl" material that does the most obnoxious things just for a guy that treats her like air. I mean, i don't get it, she's graceful, she's smart, she's rich, she's a boss, why do they always have to stoop so low for a mere guy? Always! What's with these shows?
Han Yeo Reum was boring. Someone tell me why he likes that human-shaped naivety.
The other coworker girl? Ew. The ex bf? Ew x3 .They're so despicably stupid, I don't wanna waste my words.
So the story revolves around these brainless, hateful maggots. And that tells you enough that needs to be said about this imbecilic show. They also never gave a concrete reason for why Jang Mi got involved in Gi Tae's con show and why she's still sticking to it. What's she getting out of it other than a phone?
Anyways, dropped bye and this time i'll remember how moronic this was
my actual rewatch value is 0 but mdl so dumb
