A bit overrated ROMCOM
It is a very classic rich guy poor girl ROMCOM drama where the guy is the boss of the girl. The guy falls in love first. It's a very lovey-dovey romance drama.
In contrast to the classic misunderstandings, there are hardly any in this drama. No villain or anything. Everything is good and sweet.
To be honest the whole drama is unrealistically sweet. I don't support unnecessary misunderstandings or crazy villains but I feel no one's life is all roses. There should have been some ups and downs in the story rather than it all being rosey.
The plot was dragged way too much. There were so many episodes where we could only see romance and no plot progression at all. There were no details on the hotel business or emphasis on how much Gu Won was working towards the hotel and his dreams. It was all about how much Gu Won was doing for Sarang which also I feel was a bit downplayed in the drama.
I really don't like how they wrapped up Da Eul's story. It was as if the writers did not spend any effort on it. Pyung Hwa's story was nice and sweet, I think they were my favorite couple.
Gu Hwa Ran's story felt very incomplete. No proper closure for her. It's like 2-3 words of 'we are a family' by Gu Won melted her heart and she was all good.
The mother chapter was also wrapped up short and quick. 5 minutes of Gu Won crying and the next instant it was as if everything was always fine and happy.
The forced cliffhangers throughout the episodes were very annoying.
Another point I would like to mention is the romance escalated too quickly. You can't connect with either of the leads. Its like they meet and now they are madly in love with each other.
It is a good drama if you just wanna pass the time and watch something extremely chill and heartwarming . But I think they could have added more to the story than just feeding the audience with romance scenes.
I would say the drama is a bit overrated but if ROMCOMs are your thing then you should give it a try.
PS: I might have been a bit harsh in expressing my opinions. I guess this could be because I had very high expectations from the drama and the review is also one of my ways to express disappointment
