Manages to still be a fun ride despite multiple flaws
NO-SPOILER REVIEW
This series starts off with a promising, if cliché, premise, but it unfortunately struggles through the middle because of some issues around character motivations and storytelling. It manages to pull things together toward the end and the result is a fun and lighthearted series despite many frustrating parts along the way.
Pros
- Two relatively fresh leads that are cute and have good chemistry
- Unexpected charming side couple that keeps things interesting
- Surprisingly funny at times
- Tackles themes around insecurity and privacy in a way that isn't often done in similar dramas
Cons
- Character motivations weren't really developed well which made some characters and their feelings hard to believe
- The characters don't always act reasonably which can be extremely frustrating as a viewer
- The middle part of the series suffers from issues around storytelling overall but if you can pull through this, things do get better
Overall
- This can be an enjoyable series if you don't take it too seriously and just enjoy it as a comedy. There's a good enough balance of fun moments to counter the moments of frustration.
