A great romantic comedy to pass the time !
*SPOILERS ALERT*
Well I was hesitant to watch this at first because of the rating and comments here but I really liked it in the end ! It's not the first time that I end up liking shows with "bad rating" on MDL so I'm not really surprised ^^'
I'm a sucker for the reincarnation trope so it hit me right in the feels ! The amount of longing and angst was perfect and it had many funny moments too (especially the female lead's parents they were awesome ! I really liked her friends and coworkers too) I didn't have any second lead syndrome so it was a bonus point, even if he was quite funny and interesting as a character I couldn't help but root for the main lead. It's true that the main lead seems cold and stone-faced at first but his character development soon shows that he's in fact quite funny and gentle.
Sadly I was a little more perplexed with the female lead. I don't know if it was due to the actress or the character (it felt like her character here was a copy and paste from her role in Lucky romance) but I had some trouble understanding her, especially in the last episodes. I mean I could totally understand her perplexity and anger when coming face to face with a man she dosen't know (at least in this present life) who made her fired from her last job, because he apparently had feellings for her and wanted to be close to her (I can honestly say that if it happened in real life to me I would have been freaked out too) so I can understand the slow building of their relationship. I loved it even because I'm a sucker for longing, especially when it comes from the male lead xD BUT why make the 2 last episodes entirely focus on the "marriage VS not marriage" talk ? Maybe the writers didn't have anymore ideas to fill up the last episodes but at least make it make sense ! I coud understand her if she thought that getting married will lead to tragedy again (like some sort of superstition) and I honestly think marriage is essentially just paperwork nowadays : you can totally live with someone without getting married, have children if that's what you want and be happy like that. But then why make them exhange couple rings and have them organize a ceremony in front of their family and friends ? With the flowers, the clothes, the promise, the kiss ? I don't know I felt like it was in disagreement with the whole "marriage isn't necessary to be happy" talk, that's why the last 2 episodes lost me a little. I also thought that the actress was a little too stiff in kissing scenes but it's a recurrent problem in dramaland it seems.
Moreover I would have liked it better if we had an insight in the male lead's family. We met his mother at the beginning of the drama then she disappears entirely. We learn that he has 2 older brothers at the end, but that's it, the show doesn't offer more info on them. It was a little disappointing to not show the 2 families encounter each other, I think it would have been better to dedicate maybe episode 15 or 16 at this but that's just my personal preference and it dosen't mean that I didn't enjoy watching this drama ^^
I also liked the fact that the female lead works as a webtoons' producer, it was a little different and I liked all the glimpses at the authors working (especially the young female author who works on 18+ webtoons she was hilarious haha) and the OST was pretty great too !
