I understand that people may have two different camps in seeing how Min Hyun's acting on screen but I strongly, i repeat, I STRONGLY, believe he delivers of what Do Ha/ Seung Ju is supposed to be as a character. His awkwardness but direct personality shines through his acting. He perfectly portrays how years of distrust actually shaped him as a person and that is why trust is really the currency that he responded to. So Min Hyun, if you ever come across to this comment section, believe us that YOU DID WELL!
The plot twist from Deuk Chan's motive is not really the best shot, it would be more intriguing if the pas GF was really killed herself and everyone was just doubtful of Seung Ju because of the circumstances and easily dismissed all of his background an track records. It is a hard situation and therefore really intriguing to explore.
But setting aside the above, kudos to the production team who breaks all the KDrama rom com trope that I did not like: Miscommunication between the leads!!
Kdrama romcom usually spends a lot of time just to make us frustrated of why the leads does not have an open and honest conversation and deals with it cool headed. They like to throw the typical trope - I love you so it's better for you to stay away from me, kind of thing which is so 2010 man.
Here they spent less than 2 episode of some quick truth checking and our main leads back on track without any presumption and annoying will they wont they thing which can easily drag the drama. That's how big trust and open communication are placed in the front and center theme of this drama.
Few more details that I love as decades long of a Kdrama fan here: They did not make the ML good at cooking! 😂 well he did his best but the thoughts and effort that counts! Not everyone has to be perfect! And the FL is so confident and far from a damsel in distress type of girl which I love.
I do figure some gaps in writing and my guess is bcs they added some details on the spot. It may be unpopular opinion, but I ADORE THAT APPROACH. It is so refreshing and that is what makes this drama extra special! How often you see the NG scenes are actually included in the final cuts, the casts and the director must have the same braincells that their humor works.
So again overall if you are looking for an easy breezy romcoms that will give you butterflies - and not the kind of I am a rich heir and therefore I am here with all my staff to save you kind of thing - go watch this! They really have the GREENEST relationship in a KDrama land where you both know you need each other and you placed trust and communication as bridge to keep the relationship healthy.
They promise us a romantic comedy with a dash of mistery, and sure thing they delivered it!
