Love Sucks!
Love Is For Suckers finally close the chapter after 16 episodes. I have so much expectations from this drama as I really love the main leads in their previous work. Lee Da Hee as a cold hearted woman in Beauty Inside amazed me, while Choi Siwon as a cool and reliable second male lead in She Was Pretty really did an amazing job. From these two drama, I started to fall in love with these two. Such a promising talents. Therefore, with this combination in a romcom drama would be feast for my eyes, in a way that I would love to be served with a deep and meaningful matured love story (considering their ages and the background story) - friends to lovers troupe.
I started the first two episodes with so much expectations and it didn't disappoint. It was good, there's humor here and there. It's a lighthearted watch. With then, I expected the remaining episodes will continue to be a great story until the end but my expectations were far too high and I were let down by it. My biggest problem with the drama was the storylines. It was messy and so much 'huh' moments that I could feel after watching the second half of the drama. I didn't expect much romance from the leads but it was barely there that I have to question myself, is this drama are meant for them? In my pov, it wouldn't bother much with the existence of romance between them if it's executed properly. But in this case, with a messy plotline, it makes everything else become messy.
On the other hand, im quite interested with the supporting casts backkground stories. It has much more depth and interesting plotlines. I love the second female lead, she's likeable and i can't help but feel pitied for her. I think she has the bigger role in this drama than others because she's the forces, the medium that unite the main leads. Also, love the character of John Jang and his love interest, it was pure and cute to watch. Others? Not much to say.
All in all, this drama might have potential to be a good drama. Something you will love to watch after a long and tiring day. It isn't much conflict exist in it, it was pretty straightforward, no heavy plot twist. But, I think it failed to reach the standard that audiences, like me, wanted. My conclusion after watching this drama is that, i think love sucks! So, is this recommended to watch? I will say no.
