Massive Disappointment
I had started this show despite its stereotypical nature to watch actors I had liked in their previous outings as they starred in a breezy rom-com when all the other ongoing shows I was watching were all dealing with darker and sadder topics.
Cut to the opening week where our predictably grumpy writer male lead gets hit by a truck of doom sees an angel of sorts, forgets about it and proceeds to move in with our seemingly plucky actress female lead. All goes well, the chemistry is cute, and voila! unnecessary second lead for a gratuitous love triangle. m
Knowing about the love triangle from the posters and the promos did not discount the fact that it was an unneeded addition of an overused cliche. Still, the light comedy and the cutesy atmosphere made up for the sad backstories of both leads in the parents' department and the needless complication in the loveline.
I had put up with superfluous plot twists and storylines till the halfway point solely because the leads were adorable in moments sprinkled throughout the episodes. But cut to week 5, the male lead hides his family problems and is totally aloof in ep9 and in ep 10 the aforementioned angel returns and tells our guy he will start disappearing in front of the love of his life ( we needed more moments between the leads for them to be the loves of their lives ughh) and completely vanish in 49 days. What a start to the second half of the show... not.
When it was time to hit play on ep11, I just couldn't do it. I didn't want to sit through an episode while pressing the skip button and not really liking anything. I wanted cohabitation shenanigans and syrupy romcom stuff, I expected a cliche breakup or whatever but this show gave us barely half an episode of Bi Soo and Joo In as an official couple before the path to their separation started. How does it even make sense?! At least let them be together for a while, give us some of the promised fun but nope.
They broke up towards the end of ep12 (shocker!) as suggested by a Twitter hashtag search which cemented my decision to drop it. I'd rather watch thrillers all days of the week than tear my hair out for a show that was supposed to be a source of low effort enjoyment.
