Very funny show: A personal favourite
Sad to see recent uploads of this show such as YouTube replace the OST with generic background music. Please watch it with the original OST if you can.
I'm surprised by the low ratings compared to Rainie's other dramas. This one was my personal favourite of hers that brought lots of love and laughter. Watching the show now will look very low budget, like a soap opera. But I think that's what gives it its charm.
The story sets up as you would expect, but it was the chemistry of the characters that really made me care. I really believed Rainie was a self loving village girl who didn't care what others thought about her until she met her old friend. For once in her life, she felt inadequate. I really believed that Wilber was frustrated with her for being so naive and annoying as you might have as the audience. Then he falls for her the same way we did because as annoying as she was, we knew being yourself was more important than conforming to norms and trends. She was the underdog you wanted to cheer for.
There's a few pivotal moments that Rainie goes through that is part of her character development and the show always makes you wonder how she's going to deal with it. Some parts were in fact so touching, it could make you cry.
Speaking of crying, this was Rainie's third hit song in a row. The OST stars both Rainie and Wilber's music and both of them really adds to the emotional moments as well as the funny moments. From the first 5 mins, you'll hear Rainie's character wake up to her own real singing voice to kick off the show. Again, Please please please watch it with the original OST if you can to get the full experience.
Thinking about it now, are some of the plot points really cliche? Yes, but if you can buy into these characters, then there's a lot of comedic moments you can look forward to.
