Nice Distraction, Pretty People. Great for Romance Addicts.

For me it often comes down to the romance, and being a dude that is usually based on the FL. What a burden it must be to be an amateur or professional critic! The first page of reviews was full of 6.0s and plenty of reasons why this was just a cliche blah blah blah. Maybe it takes getting to an advanced age to appreciate how fleeting the type of romance that shows up in these series turns out to be. The relationship might last but it's almost impossible to keep that dopamine-fueled flame alive past the courtship and settling into real life. Which is why it is so satisfying to have it replayed on the screen. Did the actors sell the romance well enough for me to enjoy it? Yes. Were there plenty of eyerolling logic busting moments? Yes. But if the goal is to enjoy a fairy tale for its short lived romantic adventure then one puts up with the other stuff, which is what I did with this one. And just 10 episodes helps avoid the unwanted subplots dragging it out through episodes 11-15. I was happy when the FL was happy. Well acted infectious joy. Who wouldn't want to be around that person? The ML did his part but the FL did the heavy lifting.
