eh??

The writing for this drama is mediocre to say the least
➜ There's lgbtq+ rep in the form of Gwang Nam his actual character is very likeable & his friendship with Sang Eun was cute, but he's a side character and it really shows towards the end of the series, they had potential to actually write a good story involving him and it started off great but its just left a horrible taste in my mouth especially the last episode because their "resolution" for homophobia was becoming famous... sure

➜ Ji Ho is socially awkward/has trouble with social cues and interacting with other people it made him quite relatable however throughout the whole drama the characters(mainly his co-workers) praise the FL for "fixing" him, "making him human" it just seemed very 2 dimensional and fairly off putting

➜ I'd say that the FL and ML's relationship is like healthier than 85% of the couples in kdramas LOL but it was hard to see the chemistry in them at times cause it felt like they were just reading off a script and that's it, not to mention the biggest reason I was rooting for them was because I wasn't a fan of the SML

➜ They threw away the SMLs character the moment he wasn't useful, he was just a plot device and honestly I found it hard to like his character considering he seemed a BIT manipulative and there was questionable consent regarding a kiss.

➜ You could probably skip a 3 episodes before episode 15 and it would still make sense

➜ The "antagonists" kinda made me cringe ngl, that laugh..........................

this drama has its cute moments & was pretty enjoyable at times if you just didn't think about it too much but overall i wouldn't bother with it unless you're extremely bored or maybe you like this kind of stuff 😵‍💫
