Given and Semantic Error's lovechild?

Man, I really dug the musical aspect of «Jazz For Two». I wish the show had explored each character's relationship with music more than it did—especially main character Yoon Seheon's fondness of jazz.

The main pairing—what can I say? I love a good enemies-to-lovers dynamic, especially one that is bridged by a common interest or goal.

As for the side "couple", I never felt compelled to root for them considering the amount of one-sided hostility depicted on-screen. Perhaps their relationship was written differently in the webtoon? Were they even meant to be rooted for in the first place?

As much as I enjoyed «Jazz For Two», I have my fair share of criticisms as well. Certain conflicts and lines of dialogue felt oddly placed and/or forced. Plot advancements are imminent, yes, but did they have to be so on-the-nose? Take the beginning scene of episode 8 as an example. Yoon Seheon gets approached by his brother and somehow makes a correct (but wildly inappropriate) guess on a situation he has little-to-no knowledge of. How exactly did he come to that conclusion?

I think the casting and cinematography of «Jazz For Two» were its main pillars. The actors did great embodying their characters, especially drama rookies Jee Hogeun and Song Hangyeom. Also lovely to see Jinkwon back on screen!

All-in-all, I give this show a pretty biased 9/10 rating. Jee Hogeun, you got me lovestruck.
