This is a fun drama full of lots of the usual romantic comedy tropes with some new ideas mixed in. It will likely be compared to Business Proposal, but it reminded me a lot more of Crazy Love, a 2022 Kdrama that is a bit of an underrated gem and also feels a little bit B side track, in an enjoyable imperfect way.

The good:
-Solid performances from lesser known actors that are also a bit older than usual rom com of this flavor
-Easily consumed candy like romantic storyline and plot
-Feminist message

What turned me off:
-Honestly, the first few episodes felt very disjointed and I was not connecting with the characters at all. Especially our leads. They felt like card board cutouts and the storyline wasn’t quite clicking. I pushed through that though trusting other reviews and I’m glad I did. But really, I don’t know why it had to have such a rough start, especially for an only 10 episode drama.
-Feminist message was watered down by making such an extreme character have to be a vigilante all the time, especially for her reasons of dating around more than is socially acceptable in Korea.
-The music mostly bugged me. Especially the American style scat, doodle dee bop style songs. Or whatever you call it. Played again and again in the intro, background, and “Don’t mess up the party”. 🙄 It never stopped annoying me.

Overall a mostly enjoyable drama watch, and despite its flaws, does a much better job than many at meeting the requirements for a fun rom com of our day!
