I love slice-of-life dramas and one of my favorites is Reply 1988 (which our ML is also in) so I understand and appreciate slow and seemingly 'boring' plotlines. But for dramas like those to work, they need strong characters with realistic interactions with each other and with their world, to make up for lack of plot. This drama fails in that aspect. Most of the time it feels like I'm watching a drama that an AI made if given the summary as a prompt. In conclusion: it feels soulless. I watch while fast forwarding every 30sec, and don't feel like I missed out on anything.
It’s an extremely cliche drama with a bunch of old plots but I didn’t mind it simply because the way they…
Yeah I'm a sucker for slow-burn romances and honestly that's the only reason I'm still watching this show (I'm skipping through everything else). I agree though, that the acting and directing is well done. I just wish they had a good script to match their talent.
The writers must have had 10 different drama ideas but couldn't decide so they cut them all up and baked them into this one. Which is disappointing because if it just stuck to central theme and didn't give me melodrama-whiplash every ten minutes then it would be a really touching show. In the end this drama suffers from an Identity crisis.
Also why all the tropes? It used nearly all cliches in the kdrama book by episode 10
Love the acting and the interactions between the two main leads. But as good as the premise of the show is, I feel as though the show doesn't know where it wants to go. It lacks a sense of direction
But glad you enjoy it
