Corona boredom made me watch this, but I had very little hope for this drama. The "love square tag", the political setting and the age of the drama were all red flags and I was fully prepared to drop it after a few episodes. The biggest surprise for me is that the political setting actually works. The production team did a good job delivering a pretty entertaining political satire, without going deep into schemes & the really dirty stuff. I cannot think of another kdrama of the top of my head where they succeeded with this.

The leads had great chemistry & their shenanigans were really entertaining to watch, also their romantic plot was awesome up until episode 15. So yes, this drama really delivers in the fluffy romcom department, it is actually funny too.

I really did not like the second leads, even if they had no romantic success their actions consistently annoyed me up until the last episode. The FL and second ML's backstory is especially bad, specifically it's the reason(s) why they couldn't be together, god I have no words for how stupid that was.
Ultimately the biggest problem with the drama is that it follows the standard kdrama formula with a year long forced separation preceding the 30 minutes long happy ending. (well could be 2 years, but I think the subtitles are potentially wrong here) The ehm "reason" behind said separation is a terrible cliche that I've seen before, but good god, it annoys me every time.

Overall All About My Romance is a very enjoyable romcom with flaws, but still it's hugely better than most of its contemporaries. 8/10
