Messy Writing and Bad Production Ruined Potential
LIKES:
Music/OST
It was good, they even had Say Something by A Great Big World (and it was perfect for the scene unfolding). Also the music never overpowered the actor/actress voices, which means great editing.
PRODUCTION
Cinematography and colour palate were good, same with the lighting for night time scenes.
ACTING
Kang Ha Eun (Daughter of Yun Seung), she was a great character, well written and perfectly executed by actress Park So Yi. Also Actress Lee Joo Bin was good in the role of Lee Hyo Joo.
WRITING
The characters at work, actually were ‘working’ and not just focused on their personal lives.
The close family relationship of ML, two sister, was nice to see and how they were supportive of each other.
DISLIKES:
PRODUCTION
Shaky camera syndrome; they didn’t use a film stabilizer. If it was intentional, it didn’t add to the drama of the moment, just made it harder to watch.
DIRECTING
Somehow the FL comes across as annoying, the further into the series you get. Maybe it’s how they have her reacting to situations, not sure what it is. Maybe it’s because she’s supposed to be the more mature older boss and comes across as such.
WRITING
Homophobia very apparent with one of the storylines of the supporting characters. Considering this is a show from 2021, that was very disappointing. Later they tried to seem supportive, but it came across very fake.
Having the age gap being just 1 yr between the ABM Yoon Song Ah and Chae Hyun Seung was silly and didn’t pull off the “older female boss and younger male crushing on her” vibe.
Over the top, red flag, narcissistic sociopathic 2ML Lee Jae Shin character, made me fast forward his parts, as the series continued past 6 episodes.
The story itself was a mess in terms of execution and content. This made the pacing seem imbalanced, relying heavily on the usual trope and cliches.
Supporting Character Song Ah’s mother and Lee Jae Shin’s father, were over the top and annoying. They didn’t add anything to the characters of Song Ah or Jae Shin.
Also in the last five episodes, all the other couple storylines were more interesting than the FL & ML and the ending felt very thrown together just to achieve a “happy ending.”
OVERALL:
I won’t watch it again, but I will look for more dramas of the actors/actresses which I believe performed well. I wouldn’t recommend this, unless you are a fan of one of the actors/actresses.
