Callie
A Nora Roberts style Kdrama
Let's face it, when we started this we weren't really expecting it to be a psychologically thrilling and thought provoking masterpiece. It is what it is- a romantic drama, full of the cliches that, while overdone and expected, we still fall for because it can make us smile. If you want a fantasy to take you out of your life for a little bit and give you a lot of steamy scenes and romance, an occasional rofl moment, and/or just want something to while away some time with a glass of wine and a blanket in front of the fireplace, this is for you.
PHJ and JBA both carry off their roles with aplomb, neither one becoming particularly annoying to me, which could very, very easily have happened. Instead, there are a few roll your eyes moments interspersed with truly sexy encounters that will make your heart jump a lil bit. The sex appeal PHJ carries so subtly in Cheese in the Trap just runs wild in this one, and if you're watching this solely for him, you will not be disappointed. At. All.
JBA was endearing to me, and that goes a long way for me in these romantic dramas- if the female lead is a pushover or brainless, I'm just done. But she manages to stand up in the relationship and not take any BS, to the point of making me chuckle a couple times- which with the rather overpowering personality of PHJ's character, is rather a feat in itself.
There really wasn't much of a triangle, which was rather refreshing. The couple certainly had enough issues to work out without it. The secondary couple seemed to be added in just because, but there are one or two funny moments that had me laughing hysterically, because as absurd as they are you can still see it happening. (That parking lot loudspeaker scene, omg.)
While I hope PHJ doesn't get relegated to eye candy roles- the man has an amazingly chilling ability to carry off that razor edge of Machiavellian brilliance without looking completely psychotic- I admit I enjoyed him in this. You'd have to be blind and estrogen-less not to.
Sit back, have a glass of something fun, curl up and just enjoy. I am.
Binge watching this still while you read this, most likely. I'll amend if I need to.
