I was in a modern C-drama slump but not anymore!!
Some thoughts on this drama...1. Undeniably amazing chemistry. ML's character development and actors potryal of it was just amazing! he started off cold, and the actor perfectly showed it, and then as he got more involved with her, the actor's portrayal was so good. Both ML and FL did so amazingly.
2. FL's hairstyle changed after she was in love!!! Hairy theory!!!
3. Maybe I am the only one, but I feel like they moved away too fast from the best friend's ex-husband. I for sure thought he was going to come into to play again, but nope, she moved on too, which I was honestly surprised about. But if you think about it, their relationship was very taxing on each other. He was consistently apologizing for missing or being late or whatever, and she was letting it go.
I had hoped she would acknowledge that kiss was a misunderstanding or whatever, but they were breaking from the start and needed to leave each other. So amicably end stuff, but I guess not.
4. SML was perfectly portrayed. At times I even thought he might be in the lead and they would add a reciprocal love triangle, but our FL was very smitten with her man lol.
5. The men's outfits in this show were TOP FREAKING NOTCH from the VR to IRL!
6. ML's mom doesn't really deserve much grace imo. She didn't even show the anger ML's dad deserved!! She wasn't even a little bit curious her whole life and just took things as they were. Also, why did she even end up with her husband's business partner?? Like, what's the lore behind that??
Overall, the last time i was this obsessed with a drama and was searching up every edit of the couple was Prisoner of Beauty, The Best Thing, and WBDB, and now this! I am so in love with them and how well the actors portrayed their characters. I love how steady they both were, but careful going into the relationship. And once they were dating, it was all in!! 10/10 drama

Honestly...not that bad
Considering how quickly the rating was declining, I thought the last episodes were so bad. However, they were fine. Yes, I did find it getting boring in the middle and slow, but it's not so terrible for it to go down like this. A few of my thoughts:1. The villain was introduced too late. And honestly, the sister was not a good enough villain sidekick, so that half of the story was lacklustre.
2. ML's sister was definitely in a toxic relationship, so even if I hated her, I really couldn't. She needed more substance in her background story. They definitely could have restored the sibling relationship if they tried, because again, there was no real friction between them.
3. Unpopular opinion, but I think Ha-yeon could do so much better than Seon-U. I think he needs to find himself before he starts another relationship because he is just not ready to move on from Da-rim
4. Amnesia was unnecessary, but whatever it was, it was short-lived, and this is a K-drama...
5. I loved the absolute torment they showed ML (and Ki Yong's acting) going through when he thought she was married, and he was basically a homewrecker. And that karaoke scene one day before the engagement really made me feel.
6. Yes, a lot of tropes were so cliche, but so were the tropes in Business Proposal, and I liked that show too, so I didn't mind whatever they threw at us because it was all a laugh or an eye roll, but I didn't expect any deeeep meanings anywhere lol.
Overall - I am glad I didn't stop after I saw the rating dropped because I don't regret watching it. It was a good show with a strong start. I started off by giving it 9/10 and dropping it to 8.4, but again, a really good watch.
