Nothing stood out ---- yet a great feel good drama
The FL was refreshing, chirpy, happy, fun, and off course kick-ass!Finally finally finally got to see a funny and romantic story.
I only watch romance and mainly romantic comedies - so I guess my reviews are very stringent and based only for this genre.
A romantic comedy generally floats us away into a world of clichéd tropes, silly situations, comic laughter and happy endings. That's all we ask of this genre.
However when the clichéd tropes make your heart flutter, the silly situations make you blush and the comedy makes you grin from ear to ear, then it gets an award.
But beyond that if you add sizzling chemistry, swoon worthy kisses and a talented group of supporting actors - phew- it deserves a standing ovation!!
Thank you for making this a little bit different!

Entrega o que promete: TUDO
Comecei a ver o drama por causa da cena e me apaixonei pelo enredo. Mesmo querendo que durasse mais, acabei assistindo tudo em 3 dias. Foi uma boa escolha desenvolver a história em 10 episódios e não estender o final, ficando assim uma história bem contada e sem enrolação. A química entre os protagonistas é maravilhosa e simplesmente AMEI as cenas fofas/engraçadas deles juntos, principalmente como casal.Um bom dorama para gerar boas e constrangedoras risadas, além de trazer de forma "leve" o debate sobre como a sociedade é machista e trata homens e mulheres de forma diferente. Esse não era o tema central e acredito que desenvolveram o suficiente, afinal não mudaram a personalidade da protagonista após ela encontrar um bom homem, o que é algo muito positivo.

10 episodes only?
I wish it had more episodes! It’s such a joyride.At first, I didn’t want to watch this series as I thought it would be a series about annoyingly incessant bickering. However, I actually find the bickering funny and interesting. It felt so natural and not plot manipulated. Both leads are endearing in their own way, their acting and facial expressions are nearly priceless; and there’s an enjoyable freshness in the somewhat unique plot and characters. The cleverness, battle of the wits and straightforward thinking is actually engaging, instead of stressful. I’m actually enjoying this so far, and I’m excited to discover how it will turn out in the end.

Rom-com with a good premise that ultimately fails to deliver.
The trailer teased a rom-com with two characters with strong personalities who are hopelessly prejudiced against each other, but the show winds up being a rather watered-down, run-of-the-mill romantic dramedy with good production and decent acting, but misses the mark on both the chemistry and the social commentary.For a title supposedly showcasing a strong woman, the FL did not feel "strong" to me at all. I wanted to see the FL kicking ass, yes, but not LITERALLY. Being able to knock grown men to the ground isn't empowering to me. Being good at what you do, being confident, and being able to face off adversities in life is. And right off the bat, FL doesn't seem to be particularly capable at anything besides resorting to intuitive violence.
I am perhaps less forgiving towards this show due to how high my expectations were going in, thanks to the spectacular trailer. I was looking for an independent and successful FL with a strong personality, which would seem like a well-equipped matchup against the ML, who was presented as rich, popular, but flat-out misogynistic. Instead, FL is a (once again) struggling lawyer who is physically strong, yes, but not at all professionally savvy, and far from being able to establish a balanced power dynamic with the ML, who just so happens to be the top actor in the country.
I'd have loved an enemies-to-lovers a la Pride & Prejudice , with both of the lead characters realizing their own misguided beliefs and falling for each other in the process. Even without it, enemies-to-lovers is in itself my absolute favorite rom-com trope of all time, and fake dating is also high up on that list. Therefore, it seemed as if this drama was headed straight for success in my book. Yet the enemies-to-lovers setup somehow fell flat. They never seemed to have much basis to hate one another. Perhaps if the showrunners had dared lean further into the characters' respective misogyny and misandry, it would have seemed more convincing. But in between the lukewarm characterization, uncompelling storyline, and untimely attempts at slapstick humor, nothing worked. There was no insightful commentary, no sizzling chemistry, no gripping drama, no nothing.
It felt like the show wanted to make a strong FL, as opposed to the typical romantic k-drama FL, namely, the cheerful, kind-hearted, and naive girl. I thought the show failed in that respect. However, I have seen quite a bit of backlash against the decision to incorporate gender politics in this show, so it would seem that at least some people do find the FL "strong". Yet my complaint isn't that the show does too much with the politics, but that it does too little.
