Somewhere crying for LJS's comeback
An Okayish Romcom
'An okayish romcom' is what I would call Dali and the cocky Prince. Maybe it's because I had way too many expectations or something, which is why I couldn't enjoy this drama as much as I expected. I was originally planning to rate it an 8 but I am giving it one more point because of Kim Min Jae's acting.
Story was good. It had the perfect balance of romance, comedy and thrill. All the actors and actresses portrayed their characters well. Kim Min Jae was the best here! His goofy dialogues and comedy dynamics with his secretary and Won Tak were something I always looked forward to. I also liked FL's relationship with her brother-like figure Won Tak. But unfortunately, contrary to my expectations, FL was weak. Too damn weak which is why I couldn't like her character much. She should've at least slapped 2nd lead with all her force!! (Hong Cha Young's slap to Babel Boss in Vincenzo spoiled me nvm)
Anyway, so back to review. There's nothing much to say about the story cause it's simple, saying too much might spoil it. Second lead was venomous. There were some dislikable side characters still the drama was good.
However I have one serious issue with this drama and it's the KISSING TIMING! This drama probably has the worst kissing timing ever!!
So there was a scene where ML was crying about his mother who has passed away and our FL kisses him to comfort him at that moment?? Before anyone starts yelling at me, here's the fact, "ML and FL were JUST FRIENDS at that scene, they didn't start dating yet." Now Like seriously! Who kisses their friend when they're talking about something so saddening? If you swap the gender role for that scene you'll realize how creepy and sickening it was. Then there was another scene where ML tells FL to sleep with another man to earn money! Right after saying something so sh*tty, he kisses her and she gives in??!!! I honestly will never understand what the screenwriter was thinking while writing these scenes. They were plain toxic. Not romantic at all.
Apart from this one issue, everything else was fine to me.
Music of this drama was good. "That's ordinary love" was an uplifting ost. Listened to it a lot of times.
As for rewatching, I don't think I'll ever rewatch it. I may watch some favourite clips or fmvs but rewatch is a NO.
