A K-drama to enjoy if you wanna have fun and stay away from real world
As someone who needs to be in a mood to watch a rom-com (which is not really frequent of me) I can say I love this show! THIS is how you do a rom-com with well done cliches and not in a cringey way or full of second hand embarrasment moments! It´s a good recomendation for people who wants to get into K-dramaland.I did laugh and fangirled with the romance happening (got me smiling at the cute moments), there´s good acting and chemistry with both couples, cute friendship between Ha Ri and Young Seo and the dynamic of Tae Moo and Sung Hoon was dope and funny.
As an extra detail in my opinion, I´m glad they did the rich male lead as a nice cute rich guy (or at least that´s what I felt watching him), because I think Kdramas usually makes the rich male leads as arrogant and kind of rude with people (and sometimes they are even rude with the female lead), I mean yes they show us Kang Tae Moo as a "cold heart" workaholic man who knows he´s good at a lot of things but this man is... I really don´t know how to explain it, also he´s the definition of "he fell HARD for her" WHICH I LOVE THAT TROPE.
I wanna let out two good things from my chest which propably I´m never moving on (fangirl mood on):
1. The way ep 11 end got me internally screaming , fangirling and shock, I didn´t think I could see something like that in a Kdrama rom-com :0 in general Tae Moo and Ha Ri had good kissing scenes, they did so good as their charcaters.
2. THAT KISS SCENE WITH THE HOT SECRETARY GUY TAKING OFF HIS GLASSSES?!?!?!?! THAT PART MADE ME FEEL THINGS *faints* seriously I fell hard for the actor who plays Sung Hoon in this show.
I mean in general the K-drama has a lot of good moments but I wanna mention some little details that did kind of frustrate but it doesn´t ruin my rating of the show:
1. The way they make the granpa being sick for real and they have to take him to the US for a year was a weird move.
2. Tae Moo´s accident was kind of weird too, I mean it wasn´t a huge accident but thank god they didn´t apply the amnesia trope but it was so sudden for me, I´m not sure if it was that necessary.
3. Ha Ri´s "friend" mentioning the possibility of coming back at her as a friend again (´cause he´s leaving the country) like dude really?! I mean being a jealous dude after knowing she has a bf (when he himself never told Ha Ri he cameback with his ex) and interfering with her relationship while he already has a gf! (and a really shitty one too) it just made me so mad all the mess he did and then at the final being like "I´m sorry for everything I did but when I comeback to Korea, can we see each other as friends again?" and of course Ha Ri forgives him (Ha Ri you´re so nice but you deserve a better friend!).
Sadly the OST didn´t catch my eye or didn´t leave with a "OMG I LOVE THIS SONG!" vibe, I mean it suit well with the situations happening but it wasn´t my taste to add it for a playlist.
In conclusion: I really like it, I could rewatch some scenes to have a good laugh and fangirl a times. If you want a story with plot twist with a huge plot, this show isn´t for you.
