this went from "meh" to hot mess... very quickly (and too slow at the same time!)
I'm a bit surprised that I'm writing this review tbh. I stumbled upon this short drama by accident and was super excited that it looked cute, fun, might teach a thing or two about opposites attract and changing as a human for the better, especially since it looked higher quality than most short dramas with some lovely actors but MAN... this was a painful watch for me.
1. My BIGGEST GRIPE: The "rural" and natural beauty girl was adorable and lived in the mountains alone and knew how to cook. Past that, she was a walking, talking cardboard cutout of a character. She didn't SAY anything charming; she didn't DO anything endearing. She didn't have any personality at ALL. She was pretty & fresh (untouched by "city life/stardom" and he fell for what he couldn't get with the SNAP of his "Midas fingers". And the writers didn't give a single other reason for him to like her other than being rejected & therefore obsessed with having her.
2. 2nd BIGGEST GRIPE: The male lead. They tried VERY hard by the final episode to make him likeable, but let's not kid ourselves. He wasn't. He was a big spoiled brat used to getting his way and used to getting it very easily. He also expected everyone around him (including the FL) to immediately understand him, adjust to his whims, and fall in line. Even all the way to nearly the final episode he decides to embrace some model in a club just because the FL took a phone call from someone he didn't like and was smiling/enjoying herself with a few friends at a club. He even said he "wanted her to cry". I get it. He wanted to test if she liked him or not. Sorry, not a good enough reason since HE was the one showing his ass in the first place and being an unreasonable jerk that won't let the FL even answer him before storming off like a spoiled little bitch. By this episode I was PRAYING that the FL would just walk away and the entire show be a lesson in "sometime opposites attract but that doesn't mean they belong together"!!
Anyway. I rarely watch a short drama and feel at the halfway mark that I wish it would just end already... yet, this drama managed to do that for me. Not only that but even if I just wanted to watch mindless, cute, fluffy romcom... the comedy felt forced and tiring after the halfway mark... even though I did chuckle several times to start with! (the guys putting up with the male lead were the saving grace of the show!)
ANYWHO... still giving this a 7 because it's probably a drama you'll LOVE or HATE this drama. Maybe even a few years back this would have been a bit more of a fun watch for me, but I was sorely disappointed watching it after watching 1000+ dramas!
