Romance Zero (2009)

I stumbled upon this drama by pure chance, as I've NEVER heard about it, but the resume and the poster looked fun, so I went against the very poor rating and decided to try it. Obviously, it was a great decision ! Romance Zero is a refreshing, modern and feel-good drama, that can even be daring at times, and I really didn't expect it to be this good.

The story is nothing new, it's about a match-making team but the writers avoided the boring clichés that are in every romance drama. The dynamic is different, it's not about physical appearance and money, it goes deeper -they talk about real issues, like trust, vanity, social pressure and even homophoby, wile remaining positive and light. All the couples story are different and kind of unpredictable, I really enjoyed it !

As for the cast, all the actors did an awesome job, even the guest roles. I loved how flawed the main characters were, I'm personally not fond of perfect characters, and my favorite was Mrs Jang, she was quirky and great. The friendship of the Romance Zero/ Zero Base team was also very precious.

The music was joyful and sweet, perfect for the drama.

I loved it till the end and if I write this review, it's because I'm kind of sad that I never heard of it before, and If I am, maybe others would be too :)
