Oh My Assistant (2022)

Trop court mais pas déplaisant

Je craignais un peu le pire au vu de la note globale du drama mais, et peut-être est-ce dû au fait que je n'en attendais rien, je me suis bien amusée.

Le scénario fait néanmoins vraiment réchauffé : les personnages et l'intrigue ont déjà été vus 100 fois, entre les protagonistes qui se découvrent gays/bisexuels après une rencontre "spéciale", un antagonisme extraverti/introverti, les quiproquos et j'en passe... Qui plus est, le drama est vraiment court et s'arrête quand justement ça commence à devenir intéressant.
Mais c'est assez drôle, les acteurs sont plutôt bons, surtout Song Seung Hyun qui fait adorable nounours, et l'opposition de caractère et de style des personnages est appuyée par leur différence physique, ce qui est bien sympathique.
L'OST, chantée par Song Seung Hyun (de FT Island), est charmante.

Ce n'est clairement pas le drama du siècle mais on passe un bon moment et c'est tout ce que j'en demandais.

promising start that fell apart

Overall: I laughed several times in the first episode but the plot just fell apart as it went on. This is based on a web comic (of which I read the beginning). Aired on Viki and GagaOOLala (SE Asia). Eight episodes total, about 15 minutes each.

Content Warnings: manipulation, non con kiss

What I Liked
- the sense of humor and funny moments
- good intro credits
- the female editor was funny and I was okay with the fiancee as well
- that they re-cast the glasses guy and re-shot stuff

Room For Improvement
- they changed something from the web comic and it makes no sense here, why would the assistant make all those demands if he really wanted to work for the artist??? Wouldn't he have zero demands and just agree to whatever working conditions the artist wanted? Why would him acting cold make the artist fall in love with him???
- way too much of the short screen time was spent on the "friend" with glasses (who can't recognize his feelings for 10 years??) speaking of dumb dumbs
- that assistant was super stupid, why didn't he ask the artist what his relationship was with the editor? Even after she was giving them finger hearts and left them alone he thought they were dating????
- in episode 7 the whole confession felt really stiff and the artist was looking in the wrong direction
- bad kissing (aka dead fish lip presses)
- they were dating, since when? the final episode really jumped/skipped around
- I dislike silent simp characters so that letter actually made me mad
- the stereotypical effeminate/trans character at the bar in the beginning (this did not add to the story at all and they could have used that time elsewhere)
