A true romcom and a delight to watch

* SPOILERS ALERT*

We need more of these romcom in which the characters don't encounter evil monsters absolutely determined to destroy them 24/24 ! It's a real breath of fresh air when one isn't in the mood to watch something heavy and/or too complicated. Indeed, one of the positive aspects of this drama is the lack of unnecessary "drama" (well at least for 90% of the show, I'll talk about ep11/12 later).

Firstly, I think the clichés were handled very well considering the original material is a webtoon, the writers and actors did a wonderful job to make it work. The story is cliché (mega rich CEO falls in love with a hardworking and kind employee) but the outcome was still funny and pleasant to watch (I admit I can't get enough of these kind of stories lol). Talking about the actors, they were amazing !! I think I fell in love with the FL as much as the ML did haha. Their chemistry was here, no doubt about it ! The 2nd couple was pretty cute too but sadly I was a little less invested with them, I don't even know why... The actors were great and their story-line lovely and yet it fell just a little flat for me but I enjoyed watching them nevertheless. The secondary characters were funny for the most part (FL's family, ML's grandpa) but I found the FL's coworkers a little more "cringe" (? is that even the right word ?). Mostly the guy in her team, some of his scenes were a little too much for my liking but overall it was still watchable. Also the OST was AMAZING ! The only music I didn't like was the intro's song, it didn't work for me at all but of course it's not a serious matter.

Now to talk about the downside of this drama... The last two episodes were a complete mishmash of all the clichés that I (and many others) hate. Of course the grandpa is against their relationship, and of course 2FL's dad is also against their relationship ! I'll say ep11 was a little bit better compared to ep12 because it still had (kinda) the funny and wholesome vibes that we had in the beginning. But ep12 was so disappointing. Why did the writers think it was a good idea to reveal a sudden illness in the last 30 minutes of the LAST EPISODE ?? I really thought we were protected against these type of clichés nowadays but alas it was just a stupid and naive hope from my part. Of course the main couple had to part ways because the ML had to leave for the US to find a cure for his grandpa * intense eye roll * during a whole year no less !! And of course the writers wanted to play with the viewer's heart all the way till the end kinda making them doubt if all will end well. I absolutely hate those kind of tricks/endings !! The romance is the main focus of the show (like 80% no joke) but still the writers thought "oh hey you know what's a good ending for this drama ? Why don’t we force the main couple to separate for a year and have them reunited in the last 5min of the last episode ? And we need to make the viewer think that maybe the ML cheated on the FL for a good laugh of course ! Also we can’t show the reconciliation between the FL and the grandpa because it’s not very important actually lol” * intense eye roll intensifies *. At least the main couple was still in contact during their physical separation, I give all my thanks to the writers for this small act of mercy. Besides that I read somewhere that all the deleted scenes put together could add like 4 more episodes and if that’s really the case then I’m real stunned and angry at this choice. I just don’t understand the need to halfheartedly give the viewer a happy ending in the last minutes. The ending is a very important thing in my way of appreciating things and if it’s given to me like a second thought, like it’s not a big part of the story in itself, and also considering the fact that this one is a ROMCOM, then I will be left feeling disappointed and grumpy and that’s why I *only* give this drama an 8,5/10.

I’m gonna end this review here because I don’t want to ramble too much. On a last good note, I definitively found this drama enjoyable and addictive and I will miss these characters very much. I’m really glad the show received the success it had because it deserved it. I’m also kinda hoping for a bonus episode but it’s not very likely to happen so all that’s left to do now is to listen to the OST in a loop and re-watch my favorites scenes !
