eat, run, love and... BOREDOM


I feel this title sums it up pretty well. They eat, sometimes they run, they surely love each and simultaneously try to kill us through boredom.

Plot🗯️🗯️
Ml and FL clearly share a common past but are at odds right now. We go back to their college days to see them fall in love and what is now keeping them apart.
This kinda of plot are really fishy. They know how to hook the viewer with a mystery to then serve us a tasteless drama.

The drama:🗯️🗯️
we dive pretty much immediately into the past to see the main characters fall in love with each other but do they really?
I personally love slow burns but I am ok with a good "fast paced" romance. There is nothing good here for me. The ml immediately falls in love with the FL for no reason. I think that love at first sight are a lazy plot device to avoid exploring characters and showing actual action.

Characters 🗯️🗯️
Ml: I only saw this guy in "lighter and princess" and even though I dislike his character I think the actor did a pretty good job at portraying an asshole. On the other hand I feared he just played "himself" but I can see that he's actually able to portrait other characters as well .
In this drama he is playfully, determined and lovely. Worst part is: he is a simp.
At a certain point the FL has menstrual pains and he so shocked like she is about to die. Dude calm down, she is not meeting the grim Reaper. Too much too soon.
He helps her out so many times which is something I don't particularly like. It makes her see unable to do anything on her own.
His love confession was laughable. "You touched my heart". When? She has done nothing for him (they barely know each other) and the only force pushing this love story forward is his obsession for her.( Obsession in a good way, I don't mean creepy).

FL: I never saw this actress work before and as a first experience I can say : I'm not impressed.
Personal taste but I find her voice quite annoying. The script doesn't help at all. I don't know why they gave a good characterization to the ml but left nothing for this girl. She is poor, smart and..nice I guess. Nothing is engaging about her which makes me dislike the "love at first sight" even more. I feel that without that these 2 wouldn't even talk. Their relationship feels so forced by the script. They get a 100% compatibility on a mating app, they like the same song, the same color etc.
What is this? Is a kid Fantasy?


The drama itself:🗯️🗯️
I am currently at episode 11 struggling to keep my eyes open. This drama is so boring, full of fluffy loving moments and the most mundane stuff happening on screen.
I can describe the vibe as "Disney movie". It has the same "fakeness, fantasy" feel to it. Everything is corny as hell.

The only reason I keep watching is to find out why they ended up hating each other but almost half way through I think the mystery is not worth it.

I am dropping it.
