I actually so the FL in the Santa Clarita Diet and I liked her. Her acting is GOOD, like you don't expect it when you first see her, but it is. She seems relatable, has an average face like most of us, and her life crisis/daydreaming is also sth many (me esp) can vibe with. I know most would be offended since she's not Asian but that's the whole concept of the show and it was a nice collaboration tbh imo. For me, this served as a nice introduction to Asian dramas (I'm more of an anime person and once had a Disney only phase), I started watching so much more after this.
If you don't like opinionated FL and like those quality in male leads than this drama might not be for you. I, for one, do. And that's why I liked it. Hated the second FL (Bae Noori), felt like slapping her across the face everytime I saw her.
Overall, nice visual fx, nice story, good plot twist, and anticipating the second season. Hope you guys enjoy it too.
