This was a delight
Would I recommend this drama? Yes. In fact I think there is almost no one to whom I would not recommend this drama to. So prepare for a glowing review followed by one or two (possibly unpopular) pet peeves.
The story sets us up for a lot of entertainment and comedy. The chemistry between the two leads is undeniable. It's extremely good when they have emotional and/or intimate moments. The kiss in episode 5 was just one of the few on-screen kisses I have ever seen and loved. It's generally not what I go in for but it felt so f*cking real. So, you know, round of applause and all that jazz. They were also entertaining together and with the supporting cast. The humour was well-balanced with some of the more serious moments. I also loved that the comedy from different characters revealed their unique traits and personalities just as much as the hard-hitting moments.
The acting. Ah, the acting. Literally just sat at my keyboard wondering how to describe how excellent the acting is. Magnificent. Just amazing. Loved it. All synonyms to the word 'love' should be applied when talking about the acting in this series. I don't have complaints or issues with any of the acting but the two leads were particularly amazing.
The GL pairing was a-f*cking-dorable. Loved it. Relished it. Both of them did a great job and their acting throughout was also excellent.
The pacing was excellent. I wasn't skipping scenes. I didn't get bored. All of the relationships evolved at a believable pace. Loved it.
The cinematography was great (you can never go wrong with P'Aof and his usual team when it comes to production and cinematography). It was great. Visually just genuinely good.
Now for my two pet peeves...(sorry)
Number one. The set-up. The parents were so petty and immature. I just found it too melodramatic. I know it provides some comedy and plenty of conflict but it just got a bit too much for me sometimes. Their personality differences (of the leads I mean) could have been enough for a lot of the conflict and the humour. The parents bothered me the whole time. So yeah, just personally wish that had been dialed back a bit.
Number two. (A bit of a contradiction of an earlier comment...) The ending. So, as I said, I generally loved the pacing of the entire series. It was so well done, which is super rare. However, the final episode ruined that streak for me a little bit. I do not like time jumps and the misdirect that they had broken up was so obvious it just annoyed me that we were having all this fake tension the whole time. 4 years is a long time. There doesn't seem to be much point to it in my opinion either. I also don't like that 4 years is meant to be how long it took for the parents to reluctantly accept their relationship (like, grow up, move on 'kay!). It was a happy ending which is great but it just felt a little more fragmented after the smooth pacing of the previous 11 episodes so, you, know, I would have prefered more consistency with the time line of the series as a whole.
If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour and go watch it. You deserve it. ;)
