A rollercoaster!

I had hopes with this drama, mostly because I loved JZN in WIFTY and was rooting for her to be the main lead. Now that she is a main lead, I was hoping that the story should have potential. It started off great, the two leads bickering, their back story and of course the office setup. However, it all went downhill quickly. Things were happening so rapidly that I didn't even get time to accept them.

For example, the FL moved out of her shared apartment and went on to live with the ML, which is a BIG DEAL. However, in the drama it just happened in a span of seconds and boom, both of them are flat mates now. Atleast it's not normal for me to live with a man without having any second thought.
Then at a point they suddenly got married. Like? No second thoughts, no proposal, no confessions. They just got married. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that why they had to rush the series so much when there was not even a proper explanation of the things that were happening.

The chemistry between the leads was great, but it was not something I would die to see. The second leads were okayish. Usually I beg the directors to give more screentime to second leads, but here it did not happen.

And there were also some unnecessary characters, for example the painter and SML's cousin. Why were they even there? It looked like they were just brought in the story to create a misunderstanding between the two leads. Both the characters didn't even last for an episode, the painter even fell in love with FL but the makers were in so hurry to rush him out that he had to leave the city in just one episode.

The ML did a great job, his eyes are the most captivating thing. As for the FL, I must say she didn't meet my expectations. She was great in WIFTY, but here it felt like she's not being herself. The second leads' acting were okayish.

Overall, the story had potential but they wasted it. No proper character development, unnecessary characters, unnecessary twists and a rushed story. I just wish that both of them receive better script next time. Rooting for them both!
