Well, this was underwhelming! This simple and colourless love story between two beauty advisers in a make up store was a forgettable fare.

The plot was simple: a dazzling, confident BA falls for a super kind coworker. One man's kindness blunts the edges off of the cynical and highly talented colleague. Very quickly they start dating and a few minutes later they are living together: the plot moves forward quickly. The conflicts are minor and solved quickly: none involving the society codes but interpersonal relations such as a former coworker or distant family. The relationship is almost ruined by the kind man's lack of self-confidence, but that is sorted out quickly when he is made to understand that he is also highly valued. The last conflict is completely incomprehensible: why does the kind guy dread the handsome guy becoming a model? Is he afraid of being abandoned or he does not want an excellent make up artist waste his talent on modelling? His insecurities moved up a higher gear while suddenly the communication was lacking..the whole conflict was illogical...

The cinematography is bland, soft and somehow lacking in colour and peps. The actors are cute but have minimal to no chemistry: when they were kissing they seemed miles apart.

Cosmetic Playlover (how do they come up with these titles which are senseless, is beyond me!) is a nice quick watch, nothing is messy here, everyone is nice and kind even the people who seem threatening when seen the first time....a typical j drama romance.
