fun, interesting watch
Let me just list the things I appreciated and liked.
1. The female lead was interesting. She is a feminist. What is interesting about her being a feminist is how we often hear about feminism in SK mostly being seen through the lens of radical feminism. I was waiting to see if they make her cross those lines into that territory. And while it felt like it was almost there in a few scenes, it didn't really go all the way past no return. So it was interesting to keep that in mind while watching the female lead onscreen.
2. The romance develops slowly and I was here for it! It wasn't insta love. The attraction progressed at its own pace which I found refreshing.
3. One of the main (or is it the main) points of the drama is only introduced halfway through the show. I think this gave the character development and plot structure a nice balance.
So, apart from these, there are still other things to like. While it's not a mind-blowing drama, it is one of the better Korean dramas that have come out in recent months. At least something was a bit different about this show? I really liked most of the characters. I am not sure if I have ever seen a hardcore feminist in any of these romcom Korean dramas? Anyone knows if there's been such a character?
Of course, there were still many cliches and tropes that we've all come to expect from dramas but oh well!
