Please Love Me (2022)

after some nonsense, it is actually quite sweet!

The first couple episodes of this drama are rough - exaggerated acting, incomprehensible plot, and random animation. I dropped it within four minutes the first time I tried it, but now I'm glad I went back.

Fortunately, the silly animations disappear after a while and the characters settle down. once they do, this is actually a nice little mini. The FL is a smart, capable woman who is "cold" which I think means introverted, cautious, and maybe a bit asexual. The ML is a puppy who matures into a decent partner. His devotion is both silly and adorable, and their connection did wind up being pretty cute.

There are some stand-out secondary characters - the assistants and the business partner. There's a scene in EP 21 with the FL and her assistant that made me more emotional than the romance. It would have be worth watching the drama just for that.

The cons of this are the usual mini-drama drawbacks: pacing, editing, not enough depth. There's also a really unpleasant scene early on with assault against the FL that implies a possible r*pe. It is part of the plot, but be warned.

OST is fine - neither distracting or exciting.

Overall, a sweet show that I could rewatch to feel good - skipping through the ridiculous first few episodes, of course!
