A funny, relaxed, and feel good sitcom!
FYI:
This is more of a sitcom than a drama which is why the reviews aren't higher. I believe in Asia, people are accustomed to dramas more than sitcoms which are popular in western countries. Sitcoms don't involve plot twist, super dramatic characters, etc, but rather humor and day to day problems that most humans face in established countries.
Pros:
•The diversity of the cast.
•Finally, Korean entertainment that doesn't misrepresent black people as thugs and gangsters.
•As an American, this drama reminds me of American sitcoms which I love!
•The rap song and video in episode 3 didn't appropriate anyone's culture, which is a good thing. However, there wasn't a need for it. I didn't get how it tied in, at that moment lol.
Cons:
•The studio audience claps and laughs are not placed after a joke is made but before. Basically, it's inserted before the joke is made and thus, you're left there confused until you realize it's an editing error lol.
•The male lead who is pretending to be Korean American lost too much weight for this drama (I am assuming it is the reason for the weight loss). He was in a drama tilted Be My Boyfriend, and he looked healthy in that drama. However, in this drama, it looks like he's skipping meals to fit into South Korea's toxic beauty standards. Skipping meals in order to lose weight is not healthy for the mind nor body.
•This is not a con per say but I rated the music 6.5 out of 10 because it didn't really have a soundtrack, as it's more of a sitcom.
Btw, not all Americans are not accustomed to working hard, as this drama portrays. I am not offended that it was portrayed this way but it's important to clarify that work life balance is pretty much non-existent in certain states and while working for certain organizations. Don't move to America thinking success will be easy, and you won't have to work hard lol.
Overall, this sitcom is pretty good. There were moment that I definitely laughed. It's a good sitcom to binge watch in a day.
