Be In Love Already!

I had to realize this story takes place before the “Me Too” movement. Was it just me or was that Ex-boyfriend "Cha Seo Hoo" super toxic?! I just couldn’t stop being so frustrated that the FL’s Ex was not a safe dude. I truly appreciated the sincere concern from her family and friends. I am still learning many of the nuances for the culture that depict love and communication. We know now here in 2022 that that relationship was no good and headed for disaster. The actor, Yoon Kyun Sang was excellent in telling this character's story though.

I loved the chemistry between the leads, but I became very frustrated with the pace of their love story. Otherwise, I thought the ending brought it all together.

I first watched the ML: Lee Jin Wook in “Bulgasal: Immortal Souls” decided to follow his acting repertoire from there and was delighted to watch him in this romance comedy. His character was so tormented in BIS. Before I watched this, I watched him in Voice S2 and would love to see more of him in S3 but can’t find that season anywhere. I think he did a good job in this story however, downplayed/silly his character is in this story. I will continue to complete his works as I think he’s a great storyteller!

I first watched the FL: Ha Ji Won in “Chocolate.” I hadn’t realized this was her again until I looked up her acting repertoire. She is an “OK” actress and did a good job in telling this character’s story. I liked her more in Chocolate.

I loved all the supporting characters. They brought much needed comic relief in what could have been a very boring story. Being an American, I am still getting used to Asian story telling culture with regard to “Adulting." I found it unrealistic for the main couple to still be treated like children at 34 years old. But, like I said, it seems to be a running theme/Trope in many of the stories that I’ve seen. I’ve watched more than 141 dramas and this Trope still fascinates me. I have learned to appreciate the Asian movies versus the dramas for their ability to be more realistic with how adults truly behave in a given situation.

All in all, the OST was good and matched the emotions in the story appropriately. I always get a kick out of the soundtrack when American music is being played in background or as part of the OST.

I gave this story a 9.5 because I liked the ending but the march up to then was daunting for me. I wouldn’t watch this again as the pace up to the obvious was waaaay tooooo long! I think this story could have revealed the obvious around episode 10 not 14.

This is my two cents.
