Cute Drama

This drama is based on the web novel "I Am This Type of Woman."

Pros:
Cute warm family
Light-hearted
Female lead doesn't care what others say (which is rare for that time)


Cons
It starts to drag around ep. 30
Second Lead syndrome

I enjoyed watching this drama. It is a fairly light-hearted, romantic comedy. It took me a while to warm up to the female lead, but once I did, I just wanted to see what she does.

The villainess was fleshed out so well. I felt sympathy for her. She wasn't given a lot of choices in life, trapped by expectations from her family. She did what she had to do at times, even though the choices sucked.

And I have major second lead syndrome - I'd have picked him over the ML. I felt so bad for him, and he's a great guy. I started watching this in 2x sometimes 3x speed around episode 30. That arc bored me...and then there was a last hurrah by the bad guys, but I didn't really care. lol.

The greatest thing about this drama is that the family is so adorable.

I enjoyed this drama, and I'd probably rank it as one of my favourite cdramas.
