The Angsty Romance That Almost Was
so let me just put it out there. my two cents.
The good?
- The Acting. So good. Talk about a stellar cast. The FL, ML, Side Characters... everyone was AMAZING in their roles.
- The Room Mates. Seriously. If this drama had been all about them and their relationships and character growth and never involved Luke (ML)... it might have been a better watch!
-The Dog. Why was he soooo fluffy!?!?! I loved him.
-The FL's professional (workplace) character growth. It was fun to watch her go from shy/reserved/unsure of herself into a powerhouse.
- What 90% of lovers of this drama thought made it all worth it... the chemistry. And, yes, it was truly SIZZLING!
The bad?
-The ML's use of verbal/emotional abuse. The FL was already extremely insecure in their relationship/dynamic and every time he opened his mouth, he belittled her, shamed her, and hurt her in the worst way possible which was poking at her insecurities of how unworthy she was in general.
-The pacing. They fit a LOT of time skips into this drama and several times I found myself confused on how much time had passed and it made the drama a little harder to watch because things didn't seem to make sense unless you were aware of the time skips. This drama had a LOT of them and most were not "announced" you just had to figure them out.
-The ending. I didnt like it. Two people who all the way to the end still didn't know how to communicate with one another just end up with a HEA. Really? The angsty relationship and break up and make up routine is all fine and dandy if we can see actual growth in said relationship, but, I'm sorry... I didn't feel or see that by the end. I just saw the ML throw around the word "love" and forcefully insert himself back into the FL's life and she just eventually.... gives in. MEH.
