I tuned in to watch a mature, adult couple fall in love. I was ready for some cringey tropes because come on, that's what it's all about, man. It's all about experiencing pure, unadulterated, cringey love.
But, the story does too much OVER AND OVER.
When I started this and realized that it was going for a romance + work + hardships of life + serial killer vibes, I honestly thought of Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. Leaving the fantasy plotline aside, the plots outline is similar, wherein they're trying to do a lighthearted comedy with dark elements. I was very intrigued on how they were going to manage it.
One word: Not well.
They had too many balls up in the air. Parental pressure, college/studies pressure, a love story between two over 40 folx, a serial killer who's basically an obsessed fan/looking for a place to channel psychopathic vibes, and high school romance.
I understand what they were trying to do, I think a 20 ep show would have done better. This was far too much, too soon, too badly written.

I couldn't understand why he would propose so soon. I couldn't understand why Hae Yi would ever choose to end up with her long time best friend, and don't get me started on Yeong Ju and Hae Won? Because are you absolutely kidding me.
It's a mess, with a to-die-for cast.
