Wow
I recently reached my milestone of having watched over 100 k-dramas and was thinking about what would be in my top 10. This romantic comedy is definitely one of them. I am surprised that this is still considered so underrated.
I prefer comedies that are realistic, yes, that is difficult when you have a drama about a robot that is so human it is unlikely to exist for another 100 years, but I hate shows that step into the territory of being a farce. I think that is very hard to do and is something that Western comedies frequently fail at. Some may argue that it is often too serious to be a comedy. That is partly true once we reach the middle part of this drama, but it does not last too long.
I like to try and think how I would respond if I was in the same position that the characters find themselves in. I know this can be a bit of a stretch and it is unlikely I will ever be rich or meet a lifelike robot, but I really think I would behave the same if I was in their shoes.
The best comedy for me is when the characters try their best to play it straight. The situation may be funny, or even absurd, but the actors are not acting as it being so. Their actions are believable and not exaggerated. This is where such a good script helps the ML and FL really show what great actors they are.
I really have to commend the writer for creating such a flawed ML character who starts of as immature, but likeable, and who matures in a methodical and realistic manner. There are no sudden jumps or changes in character. You must praise an actor who is capable of showing anger but whose actions are understandable and human but shows an emotional growth that is rare in any drama, never mind a romantic comedy. Although the FL character made mistakes, she remains sympathetic and loveable. Again, the right actress with a good script.
I maybe would have liked the ending to go slightly further. I say maybe because I did not want this drama to end, but the ending works without dragging the drama on unnecessarily.
I also love the music on this show. It is not overused, it emphasizes the comedy and hits the right emotional notes when needed without being forced.
