Not so cute bodyguard and more like slave to employer trope...
For those of you who think this is like "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" or "I Am Not a Robot", you're in for a rude awakening. It's nothing like these shows.
The FL just basically knows martial arts but so far, it doesn't seem like she has any "special" powers, and the ML has haphephobia, which is basically a strong dislike of people touching him. However, he doesn't suffer from any social anxiety disorders like being in large crowds or anything.
There are only two ways this drama goes... FL is either a slave to ML or a pathetic friend-zoned, "I have a crush" on the SML. The ML treats her like crap and the SML treats her worse than a younger sister. He's supposed to be her "senior" and is oblivious that FL likes him. Like, she just isn't so obvious.
The FL acts either sulky or kissass-y or pleads and cries like a 2-year-old. When she has fighting scenes, they give off the vibes like, "Oh okay, no biggie. So you know martial arts." You're not blown away by her fighting prowess. It's almost childish when they have scenes where they're being chased. Sometimes I wonder how interesting the floor must look to the FL because every time she has to explain herself, or gets berated or scolded, she talks with her head down. Bejezus... hold your head up and have some dignity!
The ML is so annoying. He makes the FL sign a contract as his "bodyguard" when really her main role is his slave. All he does is bosses her around... "Bring me this, bring me that, do my laundry and feed me food." If that's not enough, he holds her debt over her head whenever she even slightly rebels. Then he goes even further to sabotage and plays the third wheel on all the outings FL goes on with the SML. He has a blatant dislike towards the SML just because it's a one-sided love for the FL. Like seriously, you have no idea why the ML would care that the FL likes the SML since he himself treats the FL like crap, crap, and more crap. He even treats his assistant/driver like crap because apparently the ML can't think for himself. He expects his driver to come up with all the dating and courting ideas to make the FL fall in love with him.
WTF is this? Are we just supposed to enjoy this kind of BS as women viewers? And how many times are they going to have the FL and ML repeatedly bump in and be so close to each other just to slo-mo and play an OST in the background for like 10 lonnngggg slo-mo s....e...c...o...n...d...s...?
So far I'm watching this as it plays in the background while I do other things and the ML is still being the self-entitled jerk who is still going on sabotaging all the FL attempts to confess to the SML. Later on, we have to listen to the FL dumb herself down even more to the SML since she doesn't understand "literature" and apparently it only takes one day for her to get "over" the SML and all of a sudden they're back to being "siblings". Whatevs.
Later, we have to watch the second couple which includes the ML's male driver/assistant and the FL's best friend. The best friend's accepts a confession from the driver which actually wasn't meant for her and then even after finding out, she basically forces the guy to admit that he does have feelings for her. Later, when the ML's confession goes awry, the best friend thinks all the plans were made for her and now we have both women are acting so dumb and clueless even though there are subtle hints that everything is pointing to the FL. So now we have two dumb women. The SFL just being an already bossy gf in a brand new relationship and making assumptions as if the world evolves around her.
Sigh... I might update this later if I can soldier through more episodes.
Update:
I managed through Ep11 and I was done. I feel like this was aimed for a younger audience of 15 year olds. All the characters written poorly and the acting isn't that great either. The FL's parents really started to grate on my nerves. The drunk scenes were rubbish and the FL's character went downhill. Not only was she immature and childish but had no class whatsoever. Overall, the writing, acting and production was very poor.
At the first part of my review I was around EP7 and my rating was 5, I've lowered it a 2.
Don't waste your time on this one... I already did it for you. Major fail.
