A Rom/Com with strange comedy
A light rom/com that has a great concept but misses the mark with the wrong kind of comedy. I’m not sure if it was the script or the actors. I wasn’t a fan of Choi Si Won in this drama, he rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Maybe it’s because he uses his odd facial expressions too much. He tried to play the part of a love interest that just didn’t work. I like Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung Eum, so I was drawn to the drama.
It was easy to watch and doesn’t have a lot of twists and turns. It has a sweet romance that will make you smile. Jung Eum is a beautiful actress and even when they try to make her look ordinary, her beauty shows through. She has a great smile and an x-factor vibe. Her comedy is a little weak but her romantic chemistry on screen has no limit when she’s on her game. The story kind of ruined the strength of the romance with so many side antics, so the chemistry between the leads was not earth shattering.
The romance didn’t knock me over but it was there. They took the couple to a happy ending which I always like in a drama. The strange comedy kind of overpowered everything including the romance, and to be honest it wasn’t funny most of the time. But if you like that kind of comedy you may love this series.
Hye Jin, the FL, was fun to watch most of the time. Halfway through the series she went from ordinary to beautiful. There were a few things that didn’t work for me, mainly her interaction with Shin Hyuk. He constantly belittled her and made her the brunt of his jokes. She acted like a naïve school girl around him that made her look weak. Late in the series Shin Hyuk sweeps in and takes her to an amusement park for the day. Doesn’t she know how to say no? She’d already committed to Sung Jun by this time. To me this is strange. You go on a date with a guy who has confessed to you a dozen times when you have already committed to someone else? It just isn’t right. The last hug near the end and the constant reminiscing scenes of the two made me ill.
Sung Jun stayed with his character and handled things fairly well considering he was tricked by the two women. Once he committed to Hye Jin at least he didn’t go on dates with Ha Ri. Once again the comedy comes in during one-on-one moments and some of it was just silly.
Shin Hyuk was obnoxious and overbearing most of the time and constantly tried to be funny. I didn’t see much comedic timing. The script tried to make him a love interest by treating Hye Jin like a buffoon? Was this some kind foreplay to a love relationship? It makes me wonder what kind of relationship experience the writer had to make that connection.
Best friends betraying best friends is always wrong. No matter how it turns out, it isn’t good. The rules of life: you never like, date, kiss, or anything else with a person that’s important to your best friend or sibling, without clearing it with them first. Just avoid those types of encounters, no matter how attractive they may seem. It doesn’t look any better on-screen and it diminished the friendship between Hye Jin and Ha Ri, which they spent so much script time building up.
I like rom/coms where you don’t have to press for comedy. When it’s done right it’s just there without any of the screaming and jumping around.This drama is worth watching if you like rom/coms with the emphasis on the over done type comedy.
