interesting take on relationships
This webdrama has 4 episodes focused on female lead and her quest to find a boyfriend who treats her the way she wants to be treated.
The format of each episode is focused on flashbacks and mock interviews. The interviews give each character a chance to explain their motivation and reason why they did what they did. It isn't anything new, but makes this webdrama stand out among similar cliched love stories. You don't have to guess what caused the character to do something you don't get.
What I liked was showing the same female character progress while meeting new partners, but along the way her outlook was more of the same. She was looking for a partner who matches her, and wasn't willing to change herself much. Somewhat her repeating "why I always date the wrong guys" might seem overplayed and be a blame shifting mechanism, but it made the story more realistic to me. People can adjust their behaviour, but their core personality stays more or less the same. She maybe felt into a trap of trying to fix others before checking herself?
Acting from female lead is very good, one of the best portrayals I ever seen in a webdrama. She especially shines in the interview part of the episodes. Her character has that somewhat unlikeable type of complexity. Often female characters who don't act reasonable and are emotional (like we all are in real life) are considered flustrating. The thing is everyone has meh quirks and female characters who are written to have none are simply unrealistic. Let women have flaws.
The three actors did a great job, especially in episodes 3 and 4. Their characters had a chance to develope as the story progressed and it was good to watch.
Overall, it's a good webdrama. Short, grabs your attention, leaves you with decent conclusion and makes you ponder over your own relationships. The key word for this drama? Importance of communication.
