Its bad but not even cute enough to be a guilty pleasure
First of all the good. It come with good production values, and the cast makes the best of what they have been given. The 2nd LC have start off with the better story arc , the 1st LC, well that's literally another story. You grasp the setting very quickly and from there it should have been an entertaining few hours. How wrong could I be.
I have no idea what the writer or directer was trying to do, apart from fill time. The Ist couple goes a round with a circle of mis communication which could have been settled in by ep 5. The whole misunderstanding and miscommunication is so strung along to the point it is tedious.
The writer seems to not be able to give his characters a whole range of human emotions, and doest seem to understand that being in love does not mean you have to be a doormat of accepting of someone faults and one characters purpose just seemed to suffer and be treated like a doormat and have no reaction. You never get the feeling that they are a realistic couple.
I am not even going to address the story of the 2LC, because there is no way to avoid a spoiler.
The surrounding characters are just props to fill the space with no based in reality emotions but special mention should be made of the complete understanding of children’s needs and possible untidy reactions. The children are of course drama unicorn children, clean, tidy. obedient and look good. This normally is perhaps acceptable but as the children were a huge part of the plot and the fact they behave like emotional robots makes the whole situation even less realistic. Children are lovely, but they are often the cause of much disruption in life, after mum and dad the next word they learn to say is no, with all the tantrums that go with it, they are not an accessory you can just move around and will go with the flow. Some how it ends up as a mismatch of a very unrealistic family drama, and long lukewarm romance which tackles none of the real issues of blended families.
Episode 10. This is just a huge time filler, and supposed to tie up all the ends, like a mess of wool suddenly becomes a neatly knitted jumper, and it has one of the most trite, lets appease the people who are unhappy ends ever.
If you survive to ep 6 and you like it perhaps its for you, but for me it has so many faults, miss opportunities and lack of understanding human emotions. Perhaps it would have worked better as a short vertical drama because it would have less time to repeat the same scenes.
