Firstly, this drama was made around 2018-2019 or something and was delayed until 2021, lmao. I don’t know the reason clearly—maybe some production issue. So, if you're planning to watch this, you should know what to expect.

It is just another rom-com with poorly written characters filled with clichés and old tropes. The story is pretty simple. The FL has a bad impression of the ML, and now they meet at "So I Married an Anti-Fan", a variety TV show, and discover much more about each other.

Not gonna lie, the ML had some toxic behavior in Ep 1 because he lacks listening skills. He wasn’t as toxic as other MLs I’ve seen, but definitely, he has that mean behavior in the first few episodes. The ML has trust issues for various reasons, and even the entertainment industry is scary. He doesn’t have friends and lacks social skills too but isn’t a cold lead—I mean, he expresses his care for the people he loves. Choi Tae Joon, playing as Hoo Joon, was just OKAY, nothing great at all.

The FL’s character really disappointed me. She never stood up for herself. She gets herself into every possible embarrassing situation. She lets people make a fool out of her and doesn’t take any action against it. She swallowed her pride completely. She was just an "Anti-Fan" but was treated as nothing less than trash. Choi Soo Young, as Lee Geun Young, acted really well, but I really didn’t like her character.

The SL is really toxic and annoying. I couldn’t stand him ever. He has reasons to be so, but none can justify his own toxic behavior. The SFL is pretty annoying too. She always cries. The SL and SFL really have a toxic relationship. All the abusive and violent behavior is a HUGE RED FLAG.
I really didn’t like a lot of side characters EXCEPT for the FL’s friends and the ML’s manager.

None of the characters actually had any character development, nor were they likable.

The music wasn’t that impressive but suited the scenes well.

This drama really had a GOOD "Enemies to Lovers" trope. Romance was the only reason I didn’t drop this. But the leads, once they fell for each other, RARELY had any bickering, which made this even more boring.

Overall, the drama is nothing WOW as a rom-com. In the name of comedy, it was much more like "embarrassing scenes." I’m pretty disappointed. It was an OKAY watch for me. Definitely NOT a must-watch, but you can give it a shot.

THAT'S ALL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF MY REVIEW WAS HELPFUL ^^
END :D
