Interesting.
I enjoyed this drama for the chemistry of the leads. Their intimacy scenes were beautifully filmed and the kisses were great. I really loved the scenes at the end when they were cuddled on the couch. I could feel his love for her. I was also impressed with her bringing his dad around. I also liked it for the things that were missing - no evil woman trying to steal ML, I don't remember her tripping and falling at all, and did he ever grab her arm? Maybe I just glossed over them because they are in every other show.
There were a couple of laugh-out-loud moments for me.
Loved the 2ML, and let's be honest, FL and 2ML were more suited for one another.
Strangely, her family dynamics really interested me. There was something a little charming about the old-fashioned, domineering grandfather.
Here's where my problems came in (and I'll admit I'm very old-fashioned:
1) Was this supposed to be longer? Everything seemed like it was just scratching the surface.
2) She had a boyfriend for a year and a half and had no interest in having sex with him.
3) She has always believed that sex comes after marriage, but the first kiss from the ML threw that whole thing out the window. She ALSO thought he was gay and involved with his business partner, so she kisses him and doesn't even consider that this would be cheating for him.
4) I felt that she was giving up her morals that she'd lived with her entire life. She said she likes him, but he has no interest in having a relationship, just sex. And her saying she liked him felt more like hormones talking. That made me feel that she had no pride in herself. Then her saying FWB. Just no.
5) I never believed that she could be best friends with someone so involved in just having recreational sex.
6) I'm not sure how the ML fell in love with her.
7) They get together and will wait until it feels right before they get married. To me, that is playing house.
8) The sex toy aspect was pretty skimmed over, especially considering how innocent she was. She starts working at the company and is coming up with these brilliant marketing plans but doesn't know what anything is.
I'll admit I'm coming from a place of having different values than this show. Most people liked it a lot more than me, and that's fine.
