Bland with Attractive Cast
LIKES:
Some of the location settings were ones I have not yet seen in other dramas.
Male eye candy.
Beautiful FL that wasn’t made to act like an incompetent silly woman, which is refreshing considering it’s Rom Com genre is littered with them.
DISLIKES:
WRITING
FL doesn’t act like she’s 30 yrs old, even in her subtle nuances. But in order to give us that kind of character detail and later her growth, the show needed to be longer with its time per episode and the number of episodes. Same with the male love interests, there wasn’t enough to build the romance part or even attraction between them. FL was written as being pitiful and later being a victim, rather than give her true substance.
Most of the males in this show were attractive, fashionable and typical of this kind of rom com. Nothing was new, interesting or attention grabbing. Even the age difference didn’t stick out enough to accomplish that type of romance. So the FL’s choices or final decision was lack lustre.
PRODUCTION & DIRECTOR
Cheesy music for the make-out scene in Episode 1. Even the “dance club” music was crappy.
Zooming in way too close to the actor or actress, so we can see all the imperfections of their makeup, doesn’t add anything for the viewer. If you zoom so that the top of the head is cut off the screen, the camera is too close. You’d think that by 2021 production wouldn’t be so amateurish.
Yet even with the short episode time and restriction of 10 episodes in total, there still was a pacing issue and boring moments.
ACTING
Casting the gorgeous FL (Yoon So Hee) as 30 yrs old or even close to that, just isn’t believable.
The model “younger guy” (Joo Woo Jae) did fit his role, but again the lack of establishing anything more than just his visuals as being younger, made his acting ineffectual.
Sa Ri’s best female friends needed more screen time too and have something develop for their characters. They were like pretty accessories.
OVERALL:
Easy fast watch, not much angst. Good filler if you need to kill time. I won’t watch it again and not really worth recommending.
