Too realistic to be a Drama

When I say it is too realistic to be a drama, read it as compliment. This drama is going to be an adventurous joy ride. Sometimes your patience would seem like drying out because why can't the FL and ML just get together? And then, the story picks up speed, sometimes accelerating, sometimes pulling a break and sometimes just driving in cruise mode.

The drama is not the kind of romance between a girl and a boy who God sky-dropped only for her from heaven, because that does not happen in real life. FL and ML find out who their true love is through trial and error method, just like you and me and anyone else not living in dreamland would do. Nor is it the drama where FL is poor in studies while the ML has an IQ of above 140. Both of them are good in their respective fields and go through ups and downs in both personal and professional life. It was so realistic that sometimes I would just get fed up and think why can't something magical happen and let them stay together or maybe an unintentional one night stand like other dramas. But then, the realistic nature is what wins your heart.

Acting was another point winner for this drama. Not just the lead roles but also the supporting roles acted according to the nature of their character.

A great story like this needs a good director. I agree that the director went bland at points but that was only to balance the burst of flavours ahead. So don't take the word 'bland' as a thumbs down but rather a good quality that very few directors have.

How can I give rewatch value without considering whether or not I'm going to watch it again. I'm definitely going to watch this again after some time but maybe I'll skip some parts where they seem to be going slow because I already know what's ahead.

Conclusion: If you like slice of life, this one is definitely for you but if you are someone living in the strawberry cake world where everything happening is good and magical, just watch this and get to know the real world.
