The definition of rom-com
Even though I went in knowing this was a rom-com, I can't help but feel like I was hoping for a little bit more of everything.
Firstly, I've never had so much trouble suspending my disbelief. The whole contract situation felt just odd, and the lack of logic honestly made it hard for me to become emotionally invested in this drama.
While I appreciate strong female leads, I was definitely hoping for more fire between the main leads. We got some at the start, but the main female lead tolerated a lot from the guy that I wish she called him out for. I really didn't feel the relationship between them, but I appreciate that there was no crazy misunderstandings or noble idiocy break-up.
In fact, they were a lot more solid than I expected, and maybe that's one of the reasons also felt like I was waiting for a climax conflict that never really came. Of course, we got all the cliches: the jealous ex, suspicious stock prices, a disapproving family member, fake news...but none of it really hit me as much as I wish it did.
I still enjoyed watching it as a little fun thing to do while multitasking, and one thing that I actually really liked in this was the sismance. In fact, the main FL's best friend was probably my favorite character out of them all, and especially towards the end with the emergence of a side-ship, she had the kind of fire that I thought the main lead was going to have. She stuck by her friend no matter what and their little domestic conversations were so wholesome and fun to watch.
