Mr Honesty - call me
Likes: Mimics all the usual kdrama scenarios, but in a more realistic way. The ML is an honest guy who never lies...so basically a myth.
Dislikes: I could only find the dubbed version. It's too long. The FL's relatives made me wish I had a super power that could fry people to a crisp. What?
This is your typical workplace romcom: rich self made CEO with difficult parents, the poor but kind orphan girl who always tries her best. A foe who wants revenge and winds up creating a love triangle. You can tell they borrowed quite a few of the kdrama milestones, but they approached it all in a more realistic way that I appreciated.
Even just the typical arm yank looked natural and had a reason so it didn't feel so in your face like Heeeey, gotta yank the arm in a dramatic fashion now because well...no reason...just every drama needs to have an arm yank. There was a natural progression and reaction to the skinship that made it feel like a real couple and not so pointed.
I also really liked that the ML was an honest guy who "never" lies. This opens up the discussion about honesty. Is honesty always the best policy? And you see this drama explore that with the OTP's relationship. I enjoyed that aspect.
The drama was way too long though and I did wind up skipping some of the side lines, but overall I thought it was cute,
