Sooo what am i missing here again?

I started watching Ma Boy mainly because it was very short (only 3 episodes) and also because I like the gender-bender theme in dramas.

The first episode was...not good. I would have dropped the drama if it was a regular drama with 16 or so episodes. It’s not that the characters were bad or anything, it’s just that there’s nothing that can hold your interest. When the guy transformed into a girl I was very curious about how he was going to change his voice to make it sound like a girl. Guess what? HE DIDN’T SPEAK. NOT EVEN ONCE. Am I the only one that got annoyed by that? Like hoow are you supposed to attend school and NOT talk to your classmates and teachers?? HOW?


Tae Joon was probably my favourite character. He was funny, l liked the confusion he had about his feelings towards the main girl and the fact that he felt like he cheated on Irene by doing that which is absolutely ridiculous since they never even had a conversation lol.


The romance aspect was okay. I just learned that the main girl was 12 in this. 12?? Wow, I must say she did a pretty decent job for her age. Maybe that’s the reason why the couple didn’t get close often but it’s okay, it wasn’t needed that much.


I didn’t like how they took up the boy-dresses-up-as-a-girl theme. The guy was constantly unhappy and dull as a girl. Also, he had no feminine movements whatsoever so it made it quite boring to watch.


And the ending. What?
The very last scene was kinda cute but it was weird how they chose to wrap up the show and the couple.


Aaaanyways, personally I would only recommend this drama to you if you want to increase the number of dramas you’ve watched lol. It wasn’t a complete waste of time obviously, I did enjoy it. But i would be perfectly fine without it. I bet you will be too.
