I want to be wooed and kissed by Lee Jae In!
As a fan of contract marriage and fake relationship tropes, I was curious to watch Something about 1% after reading its synopsis. OMG, I didn't expect to love this drama so much!
What I liked:
1. Female lead characterisation - I am in love with Kim Da Hyun. She is a school teacher but never underestimate her. She is smart - I love how she negotiated with Jae In before agreeing to a dating contract. She knows her worth - I love that she was never intimidated by Jae In's [empty] threats and Han Jo Hee's taunts. She genuinely cared about others - I love that she was concerned about Jae In even in situations that would affect her image. This is my first time watching Jeon So Min acting and wow, I was impressed by her facial expressions.
2. The romance - Palpable chemistry between Ha Seok Jin and Jeon So Mi. I love how both of them were sincere and always expressed their thoughts and feelings with each other. It's also wonderful to see their courtship and banter. When they kissed, Ha Seokjin (the main actor) kissed with fervour and my toes curled. I love when couples smiled when they kissed. Their breakup was really tough to watch. I felt their genuine feelings and respect they had for each other.
3. Male lead characterisation - Lee Jae In started off as a brash, no-nonsense businessman that was feared by his colleagues, best friend and family even his grandfather. However he was never condensceding. I love that he liked Da Hyun just as the way she was. I also like that he liked kids and did good deeds without expecting any rewards/compliments. Ha Seok Jin was boyishly handsome and had a great smile and some cheekiness in this role.
4. The writing - At first, I thought they were going into a fake relationship or contract marriage for show only like any other dramas (fake affection in public [pull] then antagonistic behaviour in private [push]). I was wrong and that's great - I love that they both agreed to real dating within stipulated time and made effort on their dates. This drama has great lines - I love the advice about good and bad qualities given by Hyeon Jin.
5. Supporting characters - Grandpa/Chairman Lee, thank you for playing the matchmaker. Hyeon Jin is a great best friend! Hyeon Joon (lawyer/Jae In's best friend), Tae Ha (Jae In's rival/cousin), Seun Woo (Hyeon Jin's brother) and Ji Soo - omo, all of them were handsome!
What I disliked:
1. Han Jo Hee - Her possessiveness made me want to strangle her. Jae In should seek a restraining order.
2. Supporting characters - I felt Seun Woo, Ji Soo and Jae In's stepsister were underutilised and perhaps didn't deserve the credit in the intro montage.
3, Parents' disapporval - I disliked Jae In's mum and Da Hyun's parents for disapproving Jae In and Da Hyun's relationship. How could they not see how unhappy their children were when they were broken up?!!
Favourite scene
Da Hyun doing a surprise birthday party for Jae In. Humour, cheekiness, seduction, passion are the words I used to describe this scene.
