Cringefest full of fluff and McCafe coffee

The ML & FL are definitely very interesting to watch, and I quickly became invested to see how their story would unravel. Even the supporting cast does an amazing job, and their acting is very impressive. and while I’m enjoying this drama, I can’t ignore all the things that really make this just that—a drama.

If there was one constant amid the general chaos, it’s that the male lead, despite being a kind, honest, hardworking and all round upstanding guy, he always had a personal agenda with the FL. I understand the concept of not wasting an opportunity when it presents itself, but that’s definitely not what happened. Instead, he solidly plants himself in the middle of a situation that has nothing to do with him, confesses his feelings for someone going through emotional turmoil, and instead of giving
the FL her space, he continues to invade it until she eventually caves in. I don’t really understand the appeal of manipulating someone already so vulnerable, but maybe that’s why this drama is so popular I guess…

Why was this drama sponsored by McDonalds? I’m sorry to say, I'm just at a loss for words. seriously, they couldn’t get another sponsor? ANY other sponsor?

I think that along the way this drama gave me higher expectations, then just fizzled out while trying too hard. It felt like most episodes after episode 11 were over-dramatized commercials that I couldn't skip, and so I had to just sit there and wait for the episode to end. Sure, these kind of relationships do happen, but the main relationship in this drama was very forced, and so I could really never support it. The ML's sisters had more intriguing stories to tell. If you really want to watch this drama, watch it for that;skip everything else.

I'm not gonna say this wasn’t a good watch, because it was good, I’m just saying I’ve seen better. it’s not memorable, it’s not inspiring; I wouldn’t be surprised if I forget I’ve seen this. That's all.

Promising in its own way

So far, I really like how even though the assistant is queer, it’s not highlighted in the show, or taking anything away from the character, making his interest in the other character super casual, as opposed to other shows that act like they might be checking off ‘queer male lead’ on a checklist. I just started this show, and I’m super eager to see how this drama develops. It’s like a recipe; it has all the right ingredients, I’m just waiting to see if it turns out well. I think when you’re first interested in someone, you feel butterflies, and take things slow, and I hope to see something well-paced and realistic in this drama.
