So, I just finished watching "Eye Love You," and I have to say, it's been quite a rollercoaster of emotions and impressions. I went into it thinking it might be just another run-of-the-mill romance drama, but it turned out to be a mix of cute moments, intriguing concepts, and, well, a fair share of frustrations.

First things first, the premise. How often do you come across a drama where the lead can hear people's thoughts just by looking into their eyes? I was hooked right from the start! Motomiya Yuri, our heroine, has this unique ability thanks to a mysterious accident. Cool, right? Well, it’s both a blessing and a curse for her. Imagine constantly hearing everyone’s deepest, darkest secrets. Yikes! No wonder she’s become a bit of a recluse.

Enter Yoon Tae Oh, the adorable Korean exchange student who, unlike anyone else, thinks in Korean. Finally, some peace of mind for Yuri! Tae Oh is like a ray of sunshine – cheerful, innocent, and utterly charming. Chae Jong Hyeop nails this role. His quirky yet lovable character steals every scene, making the whole watching experience so much better.

The chemistry between Yuri and Tae Oh? It’s a bit of a mixed bag. While Tae Oh's constant optimism and straightforwardness are endearing, Yuri's character feels somewhat passive and, dare I say, a tad annoying at times. She’s supposed to be a company boss but acts more like a timid teenager, which is frustrating.

Now, let’s talk plot. The first few episodes had me genuinely intrigued. The mind-reading concept was fresh and handled pretty well initially. But then, things started to go downhill. The whole subplot involving a children's picture book and its connection to Yuri’s power felt unnecessarily dragged out. I mean, come on, do we really need to give so much weight to a storybook? It felt like a missed opportunity to delve deeper into the origins of her powers in a more engaging way.

One thing that really bugged me was how pushy Tae Oh could be at times. Not in a creepy way, but just enough to give off some weird vibes. And don’t even get me started on Yuri’s indecisiveness. The constant on-off game between them was maddening. At some point, I just wanted to shake her and scream, “Make up your mind already!”

But, credit where credit’s due, the drama does have its redeeming qualities. The subplot involving Yuri’s chocolatier friend was a delightful distraction. Their romance was light and fun, probably because it wasn’t weighed down by all the supernatural baggage.

The acting overall was decent, but there were definitely moments where I couldn't tell if the awkwardness was intentional or just bad acting. Some of the secondary characters had potential but were sadly underdeveloped. I get that he was supposed to be comic relief, but it often felt forced and exaggerated.

In the end, "Eye Love You" is an okay show that doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s not a must-watch, but it’s not a total waste of time either. If you’re in the mood for some sugary, feel-good moments and can overlook the plot holes and frustrating main character, give it a go. It’s a decent dose of fluff with a quirky twist, and sometimes, that’s all you need for a cozy night in.

So, would I recommend it? Let’s just say, I wouldn’t push you to watch it, but I wouldn’t push you away either. Give it a try if the premise intrigues you, but keep your expectations in check. And if nothing else, enjoy Chae Jong Hyeop’s delightful performance – he’s definitely the MVP here!
