Refreshing
I could kick myself when I think I almost did not watch this!
I did not particularly like the first season: the over the top acting did not sit well with me. Until I read a few comments and realized it was supposed to be a live version of a comic. Afterwards everything fell in place. But still I did not want to watch the second series since they changed the main actor (he was so hot!!). Last night I needed something light and fluffy and short to watch after finishing a K drama full of corruption and backstabbing.
And I thought of this. And it had made my day! This was really so brilliantly well produced, written and acted. The story is the usual trope filled story of a contract relationship turned love between a cold rich CEO and a poor sweet girl. She is a comic book artist using the real life wheelchair bound CEO as her inspiration. After few silly accidental encounters and they end up in a convoluted contract relationship full of usual tropes.
The originality here is the female character: she is pretty, innocent and sweet but also is smart, brave and has a strong character, not letting anyone walk all over her. How refreshing! I really loved how intelligently she dealt with the usual obstacles put on her way: family, friends, exes of the CEO all wanted to get rid of her. Unlike the usual female character who loses all reasonable brain functions when she falls in love, the FL here stayed smart and actually used her head to think not to swoon.
There is the obligatory third party: another rich man smitten by her sweetness and smarts. But he knows when to back down and they all remain friends. Though beforehand there is the funniest wheelchair race ever: needs to be seen to be believed!
Only one thing: what does the title mean?!?!?
