i love Ma Ru
As always, I wish I could rate it higher but, let me tell you why I can't!
The first episode was pretty disorienting, as they switch scenes rapidly and all characters are introduced.
However, I found by the end of the second episode, I had a good grip on who's who and the format of the story.
It's interesting though because I believe the story could've ended with episode 9, and episode 10 is 90% filler--cute, but technically unnecessary. I still liked it though.
I have to admit, I only managed to be interested in two storylines/couples: Ma Ru/Min Su's and Lee Hyun/Kim An's.
I skipped most of Ju Hyuk/Sung Min. Something about the actors and their storyline and interactions didn't click with me, but that doesn't mean the actors themselves were bad. It's just a personal thing.
But the real showstopper was Ma Ru! He was super funny, and I preferred his and Min Su's storyline the most. It's a pretty typical romance, nothing really special, but I liked the characters a lot so it didn't matter.
I resonated a lot with Min Su's character, so Ma Ru had me constantly wishing I had someone like him in my own life haha... ha.
Sigh.
They also had the best kisses out of the two plots I followed.
That is to say, Lee Hyun/Kim An's kisses are bare close-mouthed kisses without much feeling, as if the actors didn't actually want to kiss each other at all lol.
Don't know much about Ju Hyuk/Sung Min's, but their storyline is the most NC out of them all.
While the romantic chemistry seemed pretty solid to me, the two plots I've followed both had issues. Questions that are integral to the plot and characters are left unanswered in both storylines, one of those instances being truly baffling to me as to why it was never addressed or explained.
Editing was pretty messy, which I've gathered is likely due to budget/time constraints, with various boom mics in wide shots and, once again, every couple has screen time in every episode which means that sometimes scenes are cut relatively fast.
TLDR; I kept watching because of Ma Ru/Min Su. I truly like them a lot.
There are worse shows, there are better shows--it's honestly just fine if you can turn your brain off.
