Cute office crush but slow
THE GOOD:
I generally liked this drama but it didn't do a whole lot other than cute flirting. I think as long as you manage your expectations then you may enjoy this a lot, if office romance crush is what you are looking for.
There are some nuances to these characters that are a bit richer than many of this kind of web shorts. The crushing FL is cringe of course as she should be, but she also has a bit of backbone and willingness to put herself out there, which is a careful balance that they handle very cutely.
The boss FL is also well controlled, though she doesn't get to do very much due to the unwillingness to move the pacing forward nearly ever.
THE BAD:
What is slower than slow-burn? They spent 2 seasons doing the same cycle of having a crush on your boss and being awkward with her. It is cute but it is just circled over and over, and to a degree that is kind of hard to believe. Like if you always just stare dumbfounded at your boss, once is a little cringe, but it was pretty much 100% of the time. Every single elevator she is going to have to wake you up to get in?
Yeah this is light fluff, so we have to set our suspension of disbelief very high or else her behavior is way over the top. Still as long as you do that, there is cute stuff here.
The big other problem with the "pace" is just there is almost no pay off. The fact that they did an entire season 1 and didn't even have any resolution was already kind of crazy, but even with the ending of season 2, we only get a few hints that the feelings are reciprocated. No confession. No verbalizing our feelings. Were they expecting a THIRD season to flesh that out? I guess we will never know, it has been years now.
