Murphey's Law
If I had to explain this drama in one sentence, I would say Murphey's law. If anything could have possibly gone wrong, it went wrong. It became actually laughable; there were so many misunderstandings and confusion. I have never hated yet loved a drama so much. Ugh.... how to explain it. The storyline was predictable and mediocre. The drama started off strong; it had good potential, but it just kept going downhill, which was very disappointing.
The acting in the show is okay—not amazing, but also not terrible. I appreciated the realistic storyline, but the numerous misunderstandings by the end were frustrating. There were just way too many of them.
I really have to mention the female lead (FL). In the 14th episode, she decides not to go with the male lead (ML) on a trip they had planned for a long time. She chooses to do her own thing without consulting him, and later, she breaks up with him for no apparent reason. Then she has the audacity to cry about it! It’s like, girl, you did this to yourself. The ML just accepts it, but I can’t help but wonder why the writers chose to include this storyline. It felt completely unnecessary.
What to do about the childish/b*tchy/oh woe is me FL. There are times when I just can’t stand her and the decisions she makes. First of all, she can’t move on from her first love, which I can understand, but then she goes around playing with other guys’ hearts. It’s frustrating—why is she acting like that? When the male lead returns, she still loves him and confesses her feelings. He declines her confession and asks to be friends, which is totally understandable; you can’t force someone to have feelings for you. Then the cycle repeats—she kisses him, and he discovers his feelings for her. After that, she proceeds to toy with another guy’s heart and emotionally "cheats" on him with the ML. How am I supposed to like this character when she literally causes her own heartbreak and messes with other guys' hearts?
The only sensible thing she did was decide not to date either of the guys and focus on her career. But eventually, she falls for the male lead again and starts dating him. OMW! This woman needs to get her priorities in order and figure out what and who she truly wants in life.
I genuinely appreciate the male lead's character. He is honest, straightforward, and doesn't mince his words, which feels refreshing in the drama world. I admire that he didn’t play with the female lead's emotions; he clearly stated that he didn't have romantic feelings for her and only wanted to be friends. While he exhibits selfish behavior and much of what he does is for his own benefit, he also encourages the female lead to stand up for herself and pursue her dreams. When he did develop feelings for her, he was honest about it. Overall, he is a relatable and solid character.
Also, what is with all this drunken behavior? I swear, in every episode, someone is drunk and acting like an idiot. Please, why is this necessary? Even at business/friendy dinners, people get drunk. For people who are almost 30, the characters in this story feel like a bunch of teenagers.
Even after everything, I still kinda liked this drama, which is a bit surprising. I probably won't re-watch it; well, I might, but the chances are low. I would recommend this drama, but please don't set your expectations too high.
