A tame version of Only Friends

This can be watched as a standalone series, but I will be comparing them!

Compared to OF, this series had very little kissing, almost no sex (and it didn't show nearly as much as OF), and basically no drug use. It had alcohol and half the amount of drama. It was like they were afraid to push the limits as they did in OF. The toxicity levels in OF broke the meter, while here it barely reached halfway. Everything was too safe.

That being said, I enjoyed OFDO more. Maybe it was the school setting that made the world feel bigger. Maybe it was that the overall chemistry between the actors was better. In OF, I only really liked FirstKhaotung & I really liked Mark as Nick, whereas in this series, even though I only liked the couple of RomeRaffy, I loved EarthMix's chemistry. Whatever it was, I got invested in the story faster than in OF.

I wasn't stressed at any point in the series(unlike in OF, where episodes 7 & 8 gave me SO much stress I couldn't be around people), and I honestly didn't care about Arnold & Tua (hate his name, it sounds like you're spitting) and cared very little about Jack & Dean. In episodes 7-8 & 11-12, I didn't even give Arnold & Tua half my attention because it was simply uninteresting. Jack and Dean (like Top and Mew) were the main focal point, but I found myself not caring if they got together or not, not because of what Dean did, but because Jack is a hothead who escalates situations using violence, and uses Raffy's feelings for him to hurt Dean, which hurts Raffy in the process. Jack, overall, was the most toxic character with nothing likable about him.

Dean rubbed me the wrong way with his interactions with Raffy. I'm assuming the reason they hate each other is because of Raffy's crush on Jack, which, okay, fair enough, but there were several times when Dean crossed the line and was straight up being nasty or rage baiting Raffy for no reason. So I didn't really like Dean either, but I don't think he deserves to end up with Jack.

I was 100% invested in Rome and Raffy's story. They honestly didn't get enough screen time, which left the scenes that would have caused me the most emotional pain to fall flat because as soon as the hurtful thing happened, they would jump to another couple. Their kiss scenes, though? I will admit to rewatching multiple times, especially the one in episode 2.

The main point of drama in this series was easily avoidable. If Dean and Arnold felt like they did nothing wrong, and they were single at the time, then they should have told the people they were pursuing the morning after. If it meant nothing, they wouldn't have felt guilty. Honestly, I don't even know how Dean remembered it, considering how much he drank that night. Dean didn't help matters any by going to Gameplay for a place to stay because he "had nowhere else to go". Excuse me, does Timmy not count as a friend? You can't tell me he would refuse to help if you had nowhere else to go. The only real drama that I felt was unavoidable was Raffy's feelings for Jack and Raffy & Dean being double cast as Romeo, which led to Dean and Arnold making couples content together. There were already massive amounts of jealousy going on there, and it naturally progressed with the story.

In Only Friends, Boston was the main reason behind the drama, and everything kind of spiraled out of control and became a chaotic mess because of how the characters reacted and retaliated. In this series, the drama felt more controlled and, in some cases, easily avoidable. Don't make the drama avoidable; it's not what we are here for. We are here for a toxic mess, and instead, we got characters toeing the line but never crossing it, while in Only Friends, Top and Boston didn't just cross the line, they obliterated it.

As for Tua's reaction, you know it's bad when Boston is the voice of reason. Like honey, sit down, you're not ready to handle the big leagues.

Like in OF, this series focused on the drama and didn't really care about building up character backstories or just dropping characters completely. This made it hard to care about the characters and what they are going through, and in some cases, even like them (like for me, Jack). Some things, like with Pete, just kind of resolved themselves in a lackluster way, and then we heard nothing about him after, and in both series, there are issues with at least one character's parent that are just never resolved; In OF, it was Ray, and in this one, it's Raffy. Honestly, for a character like Pete to be doing so much that SHOULD have caused drama, he felt more like a wall decoration with how involved he actually was.

Boston has changed a lot from the first series to this one. I expected him to be here to start drama, and his entrance made it feel that way, but he actually helped fix things this time around. I'm really glad that Nick found someone new, but I also can't help wanting him to have actually changed, and Nick sees that and gives him another chance. If anyone doesn't deserve one, though, it is Boston.

I like that we get a one-year time skip at the end to see how our characters are doing.

Was the guy at the end a hint at a possible season 3? We saw Mix at the end of OF, and he became the main character of OFDO, so I would like to think it's possible.

I coughed up a lung laughing

I haven't laughed so hard from a kdrama in a long while. They did so well with lovable characters, a strong story, and poignant resolution. And, of course, comedy that hits every time.
The only things I wish they had done better, to really elevate the drama to a 10, would be the romance and the twist. It's not a romance drama, but even the idea that there is some interest or attraction between certain characters beyond platonic feelings could have been hinted at way better. There were several scenes where a lingering glance, or a touch, or a phrases would have better communicated a budding interest. With the twist, I was kind of disappointed because it felt so out of character. It did kind of make sense, but also felt like a last-minute decision to move the plot along. To fix it, even without giving away the twist, some more minor details leading up to the fateful decision would have helped integrate that choice into the plot. With these kinds of changes, this would be a 10/10 story.
That said, I still give this drama a high rating. Why? Well, especially given the episode constraint, they did impressively well putting together the plot, background, supporting characters, motivations, etc., all culminating in a strong, moving ending in which everything comes full circle where most if not all plot threads are tied. The characters are wacky but well constructed and play off of each other's energy incredibly well. Most information revelations make sense to the story and arrive in a well integrated and well paced manner. The acting is very well done, and heartthrob Cha Eun Woo really impressed me. And genuinely, I can't get over the dynamic of what is effectively The Three Stooges and an initially innocent bystander caught up in their antics. With the hero powers, they did so incredibly well capturing what it could genuinely be like if a few lovable idiots became powerful and processed internally who they are and what they can do with their newfound abilities; I think that's especially what made this show feel refreshing and unique while also being deep and emotionally impactful.
In other words, totally worth the watch. I coughed up a lung laughing so hard, and felt a fire in my gut with the emotional weight of particularly well crafted moments. Love this show.

Unscripted Love and Temporary Community

After finishing Climax, which left me in that strange, breathless state where you just stare at the ceiling for twenty minutes, I knew I needed something lighter. Something that wouldn’t demand my usual dissection kit of narrative tropes and character arcs. I wanted to restore my faith in humanity, not dismantle it for parts. So I read the summary for The Village Barber. A reality drama. My first ever. Three celebrities open a tiny hair salon in a remote village. That’s it. I thought I was walking into something simple and heartwarming, the television equivalent of a warm blanket and a bowl of soup

So I walked in expecting something about finding family and community. What I didn’t expect was the gradual realization that unscripted sincerity bypasses every analytical defense I’ve built over two years of watching Kdramas. I wasn’t reviewing anymore. I was just… feeling. And that gradual realization, combined with the shocking emotional weight of this temporary little community, made The Village Barber one of the most emotionally resonant watches I have had this year. So far. And we’re already past the halfway mark.

Let me start with the trio, because you need to know who you’re falling in love with. This is a reality drama, so everyone is simply playing themselves. No characters, no scripts, no second takes on a feeling. First, Park Bo-gum. He obtained his barber license after finishing his military service, and he uses it here for real. This reality drama was my first ever exposure to him, and now I am a fan. He is so genuinely sweet on screen that I found myself smiling at my television. I am now eagerly looking forward to his other kdrama work, but I suspect nothing will top watching him nervously ask an elderly villager if the haircut is okay though.

Then there is Lee Sang-yi. He has always been my favorite actor in any romcom he graces, but here he surprised me completely. The man uses his nail technician license (that he earned because he wanted to spend more time with his elderly mother in between his projects). Yes, this big tall guy has a license for manicures and pedicures. Watching him crouch over a grandmother’s hands, completely focused and gentle, was one of the most unexpectedly tender sights I have seen all year. And finally, Kwak Dong-yeon, the youngest of the three. He acts as the primary provider because he is in charge of preparing all meals while the trio is in the village. I hadn’t seen Kwak Dong-yeon in a while outside of Gaus Electronics, so I was glad to find him here again, chopping vegetables and visibly choked up when one of the village elders complimented his cooking. That moment alone was worth the price of admission.

The guest appearances are worth a mention too. Rain shows up for a few episodes, and the comedic effect of watching these three grown men become absolutely starstruck in his presence was pure gold. It was funny because it was real. I have done that face before. So have you. Watching grown actors suddenly malfunction in front of their idol never stops being funny to me. Kim So-hyun’s appearance was another standout because she came across as incredibly endearing and natural. In fact, this reality drama weirdly accomplished something regular dramas sometimes fail to do for me. It made me want to seek out the actors’ work afterward because I became attached to the people first.

That is the secret weapon of this format, I think. Watching actors react and interact without any narrative constraints oddly made me connect with them even more. The humanization of these people, whom I usually see playing fictional roles, made me feel more affectionate toward them. Sang-yi being starstruck in front of his idol. Bo-gum showing his insecurity when he felt a haircut didn’t come out well. Dong-yeon trying not to cry over a compliment. They felt real. And real is dangerously effective.

And really, that is where The Village Barber truly shines. There is no traditional plot analysis for The Village Barber, so instead let me talk about my reaction as a first time reality drama viewer. The premise is beautifully simple. Park Bo-gum opens the only hair salon in a remote village with the help of his two closest friends. Each episode simply follows the days they spend there interacting with villagers, giving haircuts, preparing meals, laughing, working, and slowly becoming part of the community. The village never feels like a set piece. It is an actual living breathing ecosystem with its own rhythms, its own gossip, its own quiet struggles. The unscripted reactions of the villagers and the cast drive the core emotional engine of the drama, and it is hard not to be invested.

I need to be honest about something. The only reality content I’ve watched before this was nature documentaries like Planet Earth or March of the Penguins. You observe ecosystems, feel wonder about the natural world, maybe concern for species survival, but you’re not forming attachment to specific individuals whose futures you’ll wonder about. A penguin chick either survives the winter or doesn’t, the cameras document it, and you move on. The Village Barber is completely different. You’re watching real human connection form between the cast and community members. You see children make handmade bracelets as gifts. You witness elderly customers tear up seeing themselves in the mirror after their first proper haircut in months. These aren’t anonymous documentary subjects. They’re people I’ve come to know through observation, and their lives will continue completely outside my awareness once the show ends.

Why does it work so well? I think it is because the drama knows exactly what it is. A temporary ecosystem. Affection formed through repeated mundane coexistence. The unbearable tenderness of regular people. The unscripted reactions from both villagers and cast drive the show’s emotional engine, and it’s impossible not to get invested. For example, there’s a fifth-grader with the temperament of a sage. That’s not a fictional character trait written for narrative purpose. That’s just who she is. Her friend who’s been cooking since age eight, helping her grandmother in the kitchen, is endearing not because someone scripted it that way but because that’s her actual life.

This reality, this genuineness, weaponized my lateral empathy in ways scripted content never could. Every connection and affection shown in each episode compounds the emotional weight without making it explosive. These are genuine real people being documented by a film crew, and I’m experiencing everyone’s emotions from all angles simultaneously because my lateral empathy can’t create protective distance.

So when Park Bo-gum tried and failed to hold back tears in the final episode, it devastated me. When Lee Sang-yi admitted in a talking head that he usually keeps boundaries during filming projects like this because he knows departure hurts, but he thinks he crossed that line this time, it hit even harder. This is the entire difference between fictional attachment and real human presence. In scripted dramas, I know it’s performance even when brilliantly executed. Here, I’m watching emotionally guarded adults openly struggle with the reality of attachment. Because unlike scripted heartbreak, this sadness comes from genuine human presence. These are not fictional attachments contained neatly within a narrative. These are real people forming temporary bonds while fully understanding separation is inevitable from the very beginning. These are professional actors who know how to control their presentation. They went in knowing departure was built into the format. Sang-yi explicitly tried to maintain protective boundaries. And despite all that preparation, they couldn’t get through their talking heads without breaking down. That’s genuine overwhelm.

Each episode kept me glued to my screen despite running over ninety minutes. The mundane slice-of-life rhythm is my kryptonite, and reality television magnifies my empathy for it. I watched them cut hair, prepare meals for customers waiting in the shop, help elderly villagers move furniture or repair greenhouses. Nothing dramatic happens in the traditional narrative sense, yet I never felt bored. The satisfaction comes from watching competence and care in real time. Someone needs a haircut, the cast figures out what style suits them, they execute it, the customer leaves happy. That’s the whole loop, and it’s deeply pleasurable because completion is built into every interaction.

One sequence particularly proved the show’s authenticity. The fifth-grader gave all three guys handmade woven bracelets. Sang-yi was visibly moved by the gesture. Later, he accidentally lost his bracelet (it got caught in the disposable gloves he uses for nail services and thrown away). He panicked and spent the entire night searching for it, pulling the entire film crew with him even though they’d already worked a full day. When they finally found it, he kept apologizing and thanking the crew for helping, despite being the star of the production. That whole sequence could have been cut from the final edit and viewers would never know it happened. But they included it because it revealed something genuine about care and community. The crew didn’t just film his distress, they participated in solving it. One crew member even offered to review footage to trace when Sang-yi last wore the bracelet. That’s not extractive documentary filmmaking. That’s a collective group operating on shared values of mutual support.

This format also worked brilliantly for seeing my favorite actors in a completely different light. Watching them interact without narrative constraints made me connect with them even more and look forward to checking out their work. Kim So-hyun is the perfect example since I’d never seen anything she’d done before, but now I want to. Park Bo-gum falls into this category too. The humanization feels almost unfair in its effectiveness. Sang-yi being completely starstruck in front of his idol Rain, to the point of freezing up despite being the warm extrovert who connects with everyone. Bo-gum showing insecurity when a haircut didn’t turn out well. Dong-yeon visibly choking up when a village elder complimented his cooking. These moments made them feel genuinely human and endearing in ways polished promotional content never achieves.

The final episode was structured as one long goodbye. The guys handwrote personalized thank-you letters to every customer and villager who’d visited throughout all nine previous episodes, including photos taken after their haircuts. Episode ten became a relentless emotional assault, condensing everything built over the series with flashbacks and clients coming to pick up their letters. And when the cast themselves failed to hold back tears during their final interviews, I was undone. I was holding strong until that point, but watching their defenses fail in real time broke me completely.

By the end, I was genuinely grieving the separation. The realization that there would be no more tomorrows with these people hit hard in a way I wasn’t prepared for. And because these villagers are ordinary people, not celebrities I can continue following afterward, the separation somehow hurt even more. Their lives continue somewhere outside the frame while my access to them simply ends. That creates a strange bittersweet feeling I rarely experience with fictional characters I found myself thinking about the village girls the morning after, wondering how they’re doing now that school’s starting again, wishing them healthy and happy. That’s not parasocial attachment to characters, but a real care for real people whose lives continue somewhere I can’t see.

If I’m being thorough, there are minor flaws. Some episodes ended on manufactured cliffhangers that felt unnecessary. I understand editors probably thought a project about daily village life needed tension or escalation, but I’m a firm believer the show would work without it. The bracelet search worked as tension because it was genuine crisis, but some other moments felt overblown. I wish they’d trusted the setting and unscripted nature more. That said, this might just be standard reality television formatting, and I can’t really fault them for following genre conventions.

Out of all the healing reality dramas airing this year like Curtain Up, Class! or Fresh Off The Sea Season 3, I somehow gravitated toward this one. The one built entirely around temporary community and inevitable separation. And honestly? I am glad I did. Not only did The Village Barber expand my perspective on reality dramas, it also reinforced something I have written about before regarding my own lateral empathy. This series affected me in a way I genuinely did not expect. Enough that this becomes the first drama ever to receive my Perfect 10 badge without an accompanying massive long form dissection.

It’s also my first back-to-back Perfect 10 after Climax just earned the badge. Not because The Village Barber doesn’t deserve extensive analysis, but because after experiencing it myself, I firmly believe this is a story best experienced directly. Dissection would create distance between you and what makes it work. My Perfect 10 badge isn’t about word count or analytical depth. It’s about work that affects me profoundly days after finishing, and this show passed that test completely. The morning after watching the finale, emotion returned to baseline, I was still thinking about those villagers and wishing them well.

So treat this review less as a breakdown and more as an invitation. Because what The Village Barber accomplished cannot fully be translated into words, and this is all I had in me to explain why this drama quietly became one of the most meaningful experiences I had this year.

If you ever need to slow down for a little while, watch ordinary people slowly become dear to one another, and remember how beautiful simple human affection can be, The Village Barber is waiting.

Accidental Chemistry!

I wanted to share my review of the Chinese drama "Love in the Edge of Divorce," which provides a complex portrayal of relationships amid personal struggles.

The story revolves around CEO Fu Yan Cheng and designer Sheng Mian, who agree to end their marriage. This union was initially formed to honor Sheng Mian's heroic act of saving Fu Yan Cheng's grandfather, despite the couple never having met before. Adding to the drama is Sheng Mian's stepmother, who embodies greed and selfishness, manipulating situations to her advantage and inadvertently leading to the couple's unexpected night together without knowing each other's true identities.

One aspect that frustrated me was Sheng Mian's continual avoidance of accountability. Despite being an adult, she struggled with honesty and faced the consequences of her actions throughout the narrative. On the other hand, while I was often irked by Fu Yan Cheng's aggressive tendencies, I found his passion for love to be commendable. When they finally connected, the chemistry between them was palpable. However, I believe Sheng Mian's character enabled some of Yan Cheng's more aggressive behavior. It's important to recognize that it truly takes two to tango in any relationship.

Moving forward, I understand her motives for protecting her child from her untrustworthy sister and Fu Yan Cheng's ex-girlfriend. Yet, I was disheartened by her tactics in the hospital, where she resorted to manipulative behavior instead of being straightforward about her situation. It was incredibly frustrating to see her threaten Fu Yan Cheng instead of engaging in mature communication. He deserved to know about the child and should have been a part of the decision-making regarding the pregnancy, as his resources could have ensured her well-being.

Despite some selfish actions from both characters, I appreciated Fu Yan Cheng’s transformation when he realized he wanted to be with Sheng Mian for life. His unwavering commitment – from flying across the globe for a patent to protecting her at all costs, even at his own expense – certainly highlighted the depth of his love.

Overall, I think the drama concluded with a great ending, showcasing growth for both characters and the complexity of love in challenging circumstances.

surprisingly moving !

plot🗯️🗯️
due to a car accident a manhwa writer enters his own creation.
he is on a mission to stop the "evil" female antagonist in order to go back to his own world.
will he succeed?

THOUGHTS🗯️🗯️
I wanted to watch something light hearted and this looked fine. watching the first 2 episodes I wanted to drop it because my cringe-tometer was over the roof but I endured and I'm glad I did!

of course this is a silly drama but it is surprisingly sweet and even moving at times.

the male protagonist is a cocky writer obsessed by himself. when he enters his own manhwa he has to face his own characters and simultaneously face himself.

when writing his comic he poured his heart into it and now has to face the unresolved traumas of his past while completing his mission.

along the way he battles between the rules of the world he created which seems to be the only "destiny. available.

he quickly realises that even though he created this world, his characters have a mind and a heart of their own and interacting with them make him grow.


THE ROMANCE🗯️🗯️
I really liked the relashionship between Lu zixing and he laoshu.
it's not everyday that you see that supposed "bad" girl being the main love interest.

they get to know each other, grow together and fall in love.
I m not gonna lie, they made me tear up a bit.

Lu zixing was an interesting character because she fought all her life against the odds but always had the shortest end of the stick.

seeing her subverting the "destiny" was nice.

THE CHARACTERS 🗯️🗯️
the remaining casts of characters is sweet but overall all boring. that's not a "fault", because they are the actual protagonist of a stereotypical manhwa and they are LITERALLY written to be that way😅.

overall they are still enjoyable to watch and are a good contribution to this imaginary world.

THE ENDING 🗯️🗯️
I didn't particularly like the last episode.
I don't know what I expected because it is a headache to solve this kind of plot.
I'm glad they end up together (happy ending don't worry) but the last episode really seemed rushed and not well though through.

LAST CONSIDERATIONS🗯️🗯️
on paper this looks a bit like "ex-straordinary you" but I feel the Korean drama is slightly better.

should you watch it?
definitely. it is a fun time, the set is nice, the actors are good and you get emotions.
perfect for when you are feeling down and just want to watch something "cute".

slice-of-life drama: Like novels such as Before the Coffee Gets Cold

slice-of-life drama: Like novels such as Before the Coffee Gets Cold and The Miracles of the Namiya General Store...

I’m really enjoying watching this series little by little in the evenings — it’s perfect to breathe, relax, and fall asleep to. A true slice-of-life drama, almost literary in the way its dialogues and ideas unfold.

Here, there isn’t really one central character, but rather a whole atmosphere that feels incredibly cohesive and human. There’s no huge dramatic goal driving the story. The beginning (ep1) was actually quite hard for me because I usually don’t enjoy this kind of subject matter, but as the series progresses, it feels like we go through therapy alongside the characters, slowly changing our thoughts and moving away from sadness little by little.

The male lead feels very natural and not idealized at all — which is rare for male characters in dramas, since they’re often written like perfect princes. The relationships also feel realistic and grounded.

This is exactly the kind of drama China knows how to do so well — one of its real specialties and unique strengths, alongside wuxia and xianxia.

I loved it but I also missed a deeper understanding

In total the Drama is lovely, great cast, great location. It is funny and romantic. I would recommend to watch it.

But I also think that more episodes would be better for a better Charakter understanding. It is not that you can't assume why the Charakter react like that but I think more episode would have been better. Also more of there school life or why they where hated so much.

I also think making the second ML the bad guy was totally unnecessary. I would have preferred if he would stand with both. Also how fast they took down the bad guy was a little to fast. For me it arose the question why they didn't do it earlier but ist was nice.

Go Hyewon!!

I’ve seen some reviews saying the leads' chemistry is bad, but I’m the one who watched this drama only because of it.
Since it’s a Japanese drama, I can accept that it’s a bit slow-paced. The screenwriter is apparently a Korean woman, and even though she incorporated her own experiences, the plot is really childish.
It’s upsetting that she portrayed the Korean mom as a psycho who suddenly slaps her daughter out of nowhere,
and the worst part is the female lead’s babyish voice and expressionless face...omg...
But I’ve actually come to like Kang Hye-won through this drama. I’d never heard of IZ*ONE before, but she’s actually a really charming person. Hye-won!, practice your voice and facial expressions so you can definitely win soon the Best Newcomer Award!!!

What would you do if you stumbled upon a tarot card that seemed to predict your immediate future? In the universe of "Tarot: Stories of Seven Cards" (TAROT 타로: 일곱 장의 이야기), the answer is simple: don't touch it, turn around, and run.

This mid-form anthology K-drama (7 independent episodes running about 35 minutes each) dives deep into psychological horror and twisted suspense, proving that human curiosity and greed always come with a bloody price tag.

The series wastes no time on complex mystical explanations. Each chapter introduces an ordinary, everyday character (a delivery driver, a working mother, a businessman) who happens to find a mysterious tarot card. At first, the card seems to bring good luck or a solution to their daily struggles. However, as they make impulsive decisions, the card's prophecy flips into its reversed meaning, trapping them in a brutal and inescapable nightmare.

The show's greatest conceptual triumph is using the meanings of the Major Arcana (such as The Wheel of Fortune, The Hermit, or The Hanged Man) not just as a visual aesthetic, but as a metaphor for human weakness.

In true Black Mirror fashion, the real monster in this series isn't supernatural, it’s modern society. "Tarot" crudely portrays Korean classism, the obsession with status, the dangers of digital blind dating, and the precarious labor conditions of delivery workers. The horror works because it feels dangerously close to home.

With each episode clocking in at just over half an hour, the narrative cuts straight to the chase. There is no room for romantic filler or the unnecessary melodrama that often stretches out traditional K-dramas.

As is the case with almost any series made of standalone stories, the quality of the episodes is uneven.

While some chapters craft brilliant psychological tension that leaves you processing the ending for hours, others rely too heavily on gratuitous gore, far-fetched plot twists, or predictable jump scares. A few conclusions feel so abrupt that they leave you with a sense of an "unfinished story" rather than a justified open ending.

Tarot is a dark, fast-paced, and highly entertaining ride. While it doesn't reinvent the Korean horror genre, it offers a visually polished, violent, and morally twisted experience. It is ideal for a weekend binge-watch, especially if you enjoy self-contained stories that leave you with a bitter and unsettling aftertaste.

If you liked Squid Game for its cruelty or Goedam for its short-form style, this series definitely belongs on your watchlist.

lack of chemistry but great meta plot

The entire concept of the Kang Pil-gu drama-within-a-drama was genuinely entertaining and added an interesting layer to the storytelling. Watching the behind-the-scenes filming of a kdrama unfold within another kdrama was quite a feat, how we got to see the ins and outs of how shows are filmed but also got to see the show as it was. The action scenes that played out during the filming were surprisingly captivating, showcasing adrenaline-pumping choreography. How we got to see the action and also the behind the scenes action was a delightful change of pace. I don't normally watch shows where there's shows in the show, so this was a fresh breeze for me. Although, that wouldn't be for everyone and I do know that. These dynamic segments made the overall show, elevating it beyond the conventions of a typical romantic comedy. As a result, the series felt more multi-dimensional, drawing me deeper into the tangled world of its characters and their creative pursuits.
Though, this show also had its shortcomings when it came to chemistry between the two mail leads I didn't quite feel anything from them and actually had a long break from the show because I needed something where there was more. I can definitely say that if you are someone who NEEDS there to be a lot of chemistry between the leads in a RomCom then maybe skip this one.
