Do first impressions matter?
Random youtube video recommends Love to Hate You. Finished it within 24 hours. I love that female lead is not dainty nor cute!
What I liked:
1) Do first impressions matter? - No love at first sight here. This drama is labelled as enemies to lovers because of Yeo Mi Ran's first impression of male lead Nam Kang Ho. I like that they started off as strangers who then needed each other's help. It's great that the animosity/negative energy didn't stay long because finding balance of push and pull in enemies-to-lovers drama can be challenging.
2) Pacing - This series was an easy & fun watch. I watched 5 episodes after dinner and finished remaining 5 the next day. I even gushed to my bestie that evening when we met for dinner.
3) Positive masculinity & male friendship - I love the camaraderie between Kang Ho and Do Won Joon. I like Kang Ho's reaction when his colleague caught him and Won Joon in awkward situation. Instead of making comments to avoid being labelled as gay, he was just cool about it. I also like that Kang Ho did not feel emasculated by Mi-ran's strength.
4) Mi-ran characterisation - She is no Mary Sue - she's cool, capable & confident but vulnerable. She's tough but she understands that being in male-dominated office presents challenges and she adapts to them instead of demanding special treatment.
5) Mature romance - I like the conversation that Na Eun and Won Joon had about disclosing friends with benefit. I really like Na Eun's response.
6) Health & fitness - I love dramas that feature sports & training so it's great to see Mi Ran and Kang Ho training for his upcoming role. I also love the stunt sequences. Kim Ok Bin is trained in martial arts. Thus her stunt coordinator scenes looked believable.
7) Kim Ji Hoon hair - wow so shiny and luscious. I love to "hate" him for this reason!
What I disliked:
1) I wish there were more romance plot for Na Eun and Won Joon.
2) Oh Se Na characterisation - I hate characters that like to play the victim.
Favourite scene
When Mi Ran was injured from stunt sequence. It's great to see Kang Ho started to care about Mi Ran.
