Sometimes it's ok to be selfish.
I don't normally write reviews for dramas, but I had to make one for this. This is one of the underrated dramas that deserved more recognition.
At first glance, the storyline may seem like a typical romcom, but NO. This drama is unique in such an amazing way. Let me start with the characters. The characters in this story are not the typical romcom character you've seen, even the supporting characters are unique! We have Oh Mi Joo who's a freelance translator, who found comfort in watching movies despite having a rough past and happens to have a unique hobby of collecting fake guns. Ki Seon Gyeom who's a national athlete with elite family background and may seem aloof at first, but actually cares a lot about the people around him. He cares so much about the people around him that he forgets that sometimes he has to be selfish and take care of himself. We have Seo Dan Ah who may seem like some rude and sarcastic CEO who only cares about herself and her company and likes to play with other people's feelings, but as we get to know her more, she's actually just lonely and has no one who would look out for her. Lee Young Hwa who's seems like an easy-going, sometimes childish, art student, but we get to see that he's not as immature as we think he is. I could go on about how amazing the supporting characters are too but this review would be too long. All I can say is Seo Tae Woong is my favorite supporting character and I'd love to be an alphabet (you'll know what I mean once you watch the drama).
The storyline itself develops at the right speed, not too fast or slow, and there were no boring episodes. The storyline was just BEAUTIFUL. They gave enough time for each character to develop and the ending was perfect. The ending did not feel rushed and they gave each character the ending they deserve without ruining the plot. This is by far one of my favorite romcom dramas, where I didn't feel like the main couples had cringe-worthy moments from being too cheesy. Everything felt natural and I love how they did not make the female lead as someone who's overly dependent on the male lead. The main couple displayed a great example of what a healthy relationship should be like. The drama taught me that it's ok to be selfish sometimes and that we all have to fall in order to learn how to stand up on our own. I also think that we all need a boyfriend like Ki Seon Gyeom (or a girlfriend like Oh Mi Joo). The actors definitely did justice to the storyline and characters they played, they did such an outstanding job.
The OST for this drama is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I have been listening to them nonstop on Spotify because it's so good! The songs all matched the scenes they were used in. There wasn't a time where I felt like the song they used was inappropriate or unsuitable for the scene.
Do give this drama a try and I promise you will not regret it! I couldn't stop watching the drama once I started. I would love to rewatch this drama soon!
