Cordial Companions (2023)

Nothing special, but charming

This is a classic story of the cold ML in a high position (this time the leader of the supreme court) who falls for a quirky girl while uncovering a sinister plot.
In this case, the execution is quite charming with many funny and romantic moments and the main couple have reasonable chemistry. Overall the acting is ok.
Most of the characters are quite one-dimensional as there isn’t much room for character development in a short-length drama. The character of the FL is annoyingly inconsistent. In the first episode she is made to look like a top-notch assassin, only to turn into a damsel in distress for most of the following episodes. We are shown that she has martial arts training, yet she never uses any of it, but instead clings to the ML like a helpless girlie.
