Waste of time
Plot: A story of a clumsy and pushover heroine who is meeting with her first childhood love but decided to hide because she’s not confident with her current self. I didn’t expect much because the story line sounds like a cliché already so I was just hoping it would be entertaining at least, however, it was more annoying even though I tried being patient for any character development.
Acting: Terrible acting from the female lead. She tried too hard to be the stupid, doormat type and that made me dislike her character. Even so, I kept watching because characters tend to improve over time, however, nothing happened whatsoever. She was still the old, immature version of herself who just ‘realized’ her dream at the end. They tried injecting random act of kindness from her but it still looked pretentious or unnatural by the way her character was written or shown. Despite that, other characters did good or at least were more convincing and tolerable than the heroine.
Music: I only like one song and the rest were not memorable. Not too much sound effects too.
Rewatch value: Definitely 0. No highlights worth rewatching as my eyes kept on rolling from the over the top acting of the heroine. She wasn’t ugly physically but her attitude was. Her mouth says something but her actions are different. I could also count the times I laughed or found something funny with one hand.
Overall: If you love Park Seo Jeon as much I do, I suggest to skip this. Despite him looking sexy and charming, the overall feeling of the drama isn’t enough for me to recommend it. I felt like I wasted my 1 day of watching this. I’m just glad this wasn’t my first PSJ drama because I probably wouldn’t appreciate him here. He did good in creating chemistry with her but it was still lacking. Their relationship and dialogues were too shallow and the only line that made more sense said by the female lead was her ending monologue.
