Modern Mature romcom with Sweet hot chemistry b/w leads!
Dec 8th 2021. #GoForIt. This show has the BEST onscreen chemistry b/w the lead couple I have seen in a long long time that it almost tempted me to ship them!<3 So skip the side couples and dive in for some awesome Main cp scenes after starting few eps! ❤️
6 +1 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS SHOW :
1) Main couple has a sizzling hot but at the same time adorable chemistry!❤️
I usually skip most dramas especially C dramas the moment the leads get together but this show is a happy exception! If there's sexual tension before Ep 16 (they get together in this ep) , then after that it is pure adorable mature chemistry b/w them which is truly a delight to watch! ❤️ Don't miss the heart melting kisses! The very definition of hot & sweet! ❤️
2) Modern C dramas are generally full of either Teeny love stories or Dominating President love stories but rarely you see a story where the leads are almost on equal footing in a workplace. Yes he is her senior but he is just an investment consultant so the best thing is that she doesn't report to him directly, she is a top manager herself and she reports to her own boss, so NO COERCION by a dominating ML here! He is persistent in his love but never forces her in anyway. The choice is always hers! ❤️
3) Fl is a strong woman but also a real enough human who has her own foibles and after being cheated by a manipulative guy (just before marriage) she fell in love in her teenage years and who is also her teacher dad's fav ideal student, she has a hard case of 'ESCALATION OF COMMITMENT' issue.
This escalation of commitment is a real thing (Google it) and it is what makes it real because no matter what we say, most people tend to brainwash themselves into trying to give the other person one more chance for better or worse.
Here in the beginning she does the same but thankfully she slowly comes to her senses when she senses what true love and care is because of our perfect ML, she breaks free from her fetters like a free bird!
4) ML is perfect to fault! Lol! Stylish, smart,
handsome and chivalrous! ❤️
5) Some really classy acting from the leads, truly become fans of them. I have seen FL before in few episodes of 'Intense Love' which I quit after starting few eps, so this is my first actual show of ZYX. And it's also the first time I have seen the ML. And I can say for sure they excel in their roles! I would like to see them again in some Republican era detective shows together! It will be fun!
6) Music is something that I always ignore in a show but somehow here it is a true plus point!
+1) Don't forget to Check out the funny cute Behind the scenes (BTS) videos after this!
Now coming to the drawback, the only main drawback is the side couples!
The FL's friend is truly a very interesting character and her friendship scenes with FL are truly a enjoyable, so I wished she had a better pairing, even the ML's assistant would have been better for her.
But the FL's bro who is actually paired with her is just so immature which makes the couple get the award of most boring couple in C drama! I actually like noona romance but this is the best example of how not to make it!
So finally my advice is to SKIP the 2nd couple and 3rd couple ( rich naive gal & ML's assistant) scenes after 3rd or 4th episodes and just watch the main cp and their related scenes! This is what I did and I guarantee you that you will be much happier like that too! You can thank me later! Someone should edit them out and upload it again somewhere!
PS: Wow! Ending was super cute and there is actually a REPUBLICAN ERA SPECIAL EPISODE! DON'T MISS THE SPECIAL EPISODE ! THEY EVEN HAVE A LITTLE KID IN THAT! ❤️
