Short but fun and well tied together
TLDR: Lighthearted Romcom + Sunshine x Tsundere/Grumpy + “It was supposed to be just another job” x “I don’t have time for love and don’t even know what that is” + a sliver of plot that shows up in the last episodes and lots of cuteness with mature and unique characters with their own little quirks and very nice chemistry.
Each episode is about 20 minutes long, so you can watch everything in 4 hours or save these to watch during lunch break since they’re bite-sized and perfect for that.
And I’m always very picky in regards to pacing and editing in everything I watch, but even if these episodes are short they are still very well-paced, introducing more plot points as it goes without tripping over itself. And the editing is not overwhelming or nonexistent. In comedic times it adds up to the moment, and in serious or emotional moments it doesn’t get in the way of it all. So if that can also be a turn-off for you I think you’ll enjoy it! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the last three episodes to drop.
The lead actors did a great job and gave these characters great chemistry and funny moments, and when it was time for a more serious tone they also did not disappoint. But even the side characters are very charming, charismatic, and funny. And the antagonists are not exaggerated caricatures as I thought they would be. I adore the lawyer with my whole heart, his inside thoughts are always hilarious, and watching the leads' relationship develop was so fun and adorable. I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud, just a full-chested laugh. I really needed something light like this lately.
The soundtrack is not its strong point. Except for the awesome opening and ending tracks, everything else is just generic stock music, stock sounds and basic piano notes to fit the tone of some scenes. As a soundtrack lover, I was saddened to not hear a recurring leitmotif throughout the episodes, but it’s understandable, and it didn’t ruin the drama at all. They did very well with what they had and no sound cue or music seemed out of place.
All in all, I think this was a lovely watch and I will definitely be rewatching this soon haha. Give it a try! You might fall in love with it like I did.
