Cliché Done Right

I was skeptical about this one because I knew it had some older graphics which are very obvious in the current times and really spoil the whole experience for me in general. However I was pleasantly surprised with how the show unfolded. It was light, breezy with a hint of melodrama, how these cliches tend to be. I LOVED Jun Ji hyun, both her performance and her character, it was the comic relief that I needed and actually laughed at her quirks. Kim Soo-hyun also grew on me over the course of the show but I would have been bored to death if it weren't for Song I (FML).

The epilogues were a nice touch and I really enjoyed them. The SML also actually played a role in taking the story forward which is kind of nice. Everyone else did a good job but I really did not care about them because the chemistry between the MLs was so good. There was nothing new in the story, but the delivery was funny and engaging. The melo was in check, just the right amount. I would have wanted to know more insight about the ML's life before he came to earth and not just his life on earth but even I know that is asking too much from a rom-com.

The OST is fantastic, the cinematography is good, considering this drama was released 9 years ago. This show has aged well and I can see myself watching it again after a couple of years.
