So cute!! A lighthearted watch that strikes the right balance

Ok so if you’re looking for some high quality drama obviously this is not it. I wanted to watch something with fresh new faces but also something that’s good to de-stress and fun. This is it. I laughed from start to finish. The main female lead is silly but she’s cute and reasonable. She’s not illogical like a lot so FL are in these low budget shows. She’s cute and witty. The actress is very pretty and natural despite some kind cringe lines. She actually makes it pure and natural instead of trying hard to be cute and overact. I like that a lot. There’s room for improvement of course but she’s definitely one I’ll be watching more. The male lead is also really cute. I thought he would be the typical cold and mean ML but he’s just standoff ish. Other than that he’s very kind and loving. He’s a big softie who is also clear about his feelings right away and fall for the FL soon after he knows more about her. I love love love his character. This actor has been in some supporting roles and I thought he was cute but didn’t realize how well he fits as the cold ML archetype. He looks so handsome. Acting wise I think he’s a little stiff but not in a cringey way and actually naturally fit the character well. This is a great role for him and I think he really showed he does have the charisma to be the lead. He has very expressive eyes despite his body posture being a little stiff. I think his eyes emotes well. I’m pleasantly surprised by him. I hope he continue to grow in the future. They make such a cute pair. Both actors definitely compliment each other well. Is it some deep crazy love story? No but it makes you smile because they’re so darn cute. There’s def lots of cliche with the romance but hey I’m not complaining. Give it to meeee. Despite all the cliche fall and catch and accidental kisses, the romance developed very well and they both are very straight forward and open with each other once they know their feelings. No silly mind games. Very pure and honest, which is definitely not common. Despite the circumstances they’re in, they chose to be happy instead of ravel in despair. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but for a fun lighthearted show, it’s what I was looking for.
From the start, there’s so many jokes and hilarious tone from the start. The show doesn’t take itself seriously and I love it. I think for the mood I was in, this show strikes the right balance. There’s enough plot to keep the story going and create stakes and heartfelt connection However, nothing is taken overly seriously that it takes away from the comedy. Lots of show starts funny and then got too serious that they forget the jokes. I think for a pure lighthearted romcom, this strikes the right balance for me. Watch it with ease and ready to just relax and laugh. Don’t harp too much on the details and you’ll really enjoy this one.
