Didn't go the way I expected it to but I loved it!
I can understand why some people found this to be a let down. The plot being promoted before its release was really just a small fraction of what the whole story is about and even I was caught off guard! But I actually ended up really liking where the story was headed, especially at the ep 7-8 mark. This drama started out very romcom-y, very cute, had me giggling and kicking my feet and then the concept of Do Ra Mi being a recurring character kind of had me raising my eyebrows in confusion and apprehension cause where the hell did that storyline even come from?? It actually turned out to be one of the things that made me love this drama even more. I know there are mixed reactions with how they chose to portray mental health but me personally I found it to be very unique and interesting. Obviously the whole premise of Do Ra Mi just suddenly taking over the FL and the ML just accepting it is kind of preposterous but hey thats the beauty of fiction! It was so fun seeing how Go Youn Jung was able to embody two different characters and just seemly shift demeanors and mannerisms and ugh it was just so entertaining to watch.
I've also seen people complaining that they took too long to actually get together but come on guys, its literally called Can This Love Be Translated? Of course there's going to be miscommunication and tension and angst! The push and pull between the FL and ML, how they just couldn't help falling for each other despite every speed bump they encountered. Personally I found it endearing how the ML really tried to interpret how the FL was feeling even though it wa probably giving him whiplash, not to mention Do Ra Mi popping up everywhere. But one other thing I really liked about the Do Ra Mi plot was how she was the one who helped the ML really understand the FL because she is basically telling me everything that the FL is thinking but just can't say out loud (confusing I know).
Anyways, from the cinematography to the OST to the storyline to the cast, this was definitely NOT a let down for me. I hyperfixated and binged all the eps cause that's how hooked I was. Don't let the bad reviews stop you. See for yourself and form your own opinion!!
