News eye rolling drama
This drama started with a good premise, went sideways and ended up on a cheesy note.
one of the only good thing about the drama is the discourse around sex even though the drama never dares too much.
Let's get into some details.
the female lead.
She is one of the most bland and boring characters I've ever seen. I get that her upbringing was really strict but she is so naive it's unbelievable. The fact that she acts and especially, TALKS like a 5 years old doesn't help. Many times she talks in this childish and slow way you just want to roll your eyes and even ears.
At the beginning she is dating a guy (for over a year) and then dumps him. This relationship doesn't really make an impact on her but the moment she kisses her boss she is swooped by this kiss. The only thing she did with her boyfriend were long kiss sessions, but a random kiss is apparently mind blowing. She also believes her boss is gay and engaged but she has no problems kissing him. I know he kissed her first previously, but shouldn't she see him as a cheater and reject him? She always talks about marriage, love, but then kisses a taken man just to prove something? A boyfriend instead of a girlfriend isn't worth of respect? For someone so prude that bit surprised me.
Later on she is able to put aside her core believes about relationships only being connected to love but the drama throws away a good opportunity of exploring this theme. They immediately put her back in a relationship where the CEO is a puppy in love.
The only thing I like about her is how she is able to free herself from a controlling family.
Let's talk about the CEO.
I hate insta loves and it's pretty clear the drama wants you to believe he has some kind of interest towards this random girl. Longing eyes, he spawning everywhere to help her, randomly pulling out an umbrella just to save her (from the rain, what a tragedy right).
In one episode he is pitching his product to some investors and interrupts the meeting because they don't align with his view..sure... As the same time he hires and keeps around the FL who is supposed to be their marketing expert but doesn't get or even "accept" that people like sex toys or have sex without feeling .. right right (insert Mike's Mike meme here)
He is our "only sex no relationship" guy but as soon as she meets our fl he is a puppy in love. His previous convictions felt like a facade.
The drama is boring for the most part but I liked some moments between the couple.
The humourous attempts are so bad I almost feel insulted.
The familiar dynamic was probably the most interesting part. How to emancipate oneself from a very patriarchal and controlling family was interesting.
Overall I feel the drama failed its own premises just to give a predictable cheesy relationship.
