PMY is my favorite actress, so I had high hopes in her choice of roles and the chemistry she has with her leads. This is my least favorite role of hers, and I'm disappointed.
Yoon Park is the only actor's character who is actually interesting me and the only one doing justice to his role, because of his acting chops and comedic timing. The man better get a leading role soon since he always ends up having more chemistry with the FL than the ML. It's the same here, even though his character is a complete jerk and they obviously should not end up together, he still manages to have great chemistry with PMY. The FL's character is annoying to watch as she's constantly gloomy and mean and I have no idea what ML sees in her. They have no chemistry at all. Park Min Young seems tired and worn here and it seems to go past her role, I'm concerned as she has expressed health issues on interviews and social media. I've never been a fan of Song Kang and he's still unimpressive in this role imo, he thinks smiling nice is "acting," and his attempts at chemistry almost come across as creepy.
The biggest issue for me is there is no actual story, no plot, every episode is just centered around watching the characters' interactions without anything ever really happening. It's dull and forgettable. I suppose the main motivator here is possibly the FL's character arc into a non-bitch, her character finally "warming up" (aligning with the weather theme), which after 8 episodes is showing no signs of appearing. She's still miserable and rude. She even nags houseguests for leaving food out after they apologized and said they were going to clean it, acting rude and giving them a lecture about how it "leaves a smell." Really weird vibe.
