Labeled as a romantic comedy, the series falls short of delivering the essential elements that define a romcom. Ironically, the only comedic aspect was enduring the entire series.

The series begins with an intriguing setup and some potential for a compelling dynamic between the leads. However, it quickly becomes repetitive, relying on the same trope in nearly every episode: the male lead’s persistent efforts to impress or get closer to the female lead are repeatedly dismissed, even as she secretly admires him. What starts as playfully charming soon grows stale, as the narrative fails to evolve or bring fresh elements to their interactions.

Newly introduced characters, like the male lead’s childhood friend or the female lead’s ex-boyfriend, add little to the story. Instead of deepening the plot, they exist purely to create unnecessary misunderstandings, making the experience even more frustrating.

At some point, I found myself paying more attention to the supporting cast. Despite the weak script and predictable story, their performances managed to inject some unexpected intrigue and humor.

The female lead is portrayed as a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants, a character type with such a great potential. Unfortunately, her portrayal feels overly rigid which makes it difficult to connect with her or even root for her. By the time she finally begins to soften toward the male lead, the chance for genuine emotional investment feels squandered. Similarly, the male lead, despite his seemingly strong demeanor, is overly passive and reactive, which is… frustrating to watch, to say the least.

Its lack of character development, repetitive storytelling and shallow conflicts left me completely disengaged, at least the actors were a feast for the eyes.
