8/10
Generic but Fun Cookie Cutter C-Romance
23 May 2021
On the upside, this show features a lonely but determined FL who has a strong sense of justice, despite belonging to an overbearing elitist family. On the downside however, she is also accident prone and naive, and frequently gets distraught or cries (literally or figuratively) for various reasons. So if you prefer to have your female characters served up with a side of cool ranch and kickass, rather than pink frosting and freak-out, you may not enjoy this show.

Aside from that, I would say this film was a predictable, Disney style piece of "chaebol" fantasy fluff, complete with cheesy lines from the ML's and some semi-deep insights into living. However, predictable doesn't necessarily mean that it was boring. I mean, there's a reason Disney is popular, right? So if you don't mind a light, mindless C-romance story with no basis in reality, this one isn't bad (except for a few spots where the acting faltered). But if you are looking for something serious and "real" that requires deep emotional investment, I suggest you keep looking.

LGBTQ Inclusive: Boys Love

ROMANCE RATING: * * * 7.5/10. There were 5+ kiss scenes, which is pretty liberal for a C-Drama (especially since this one was so short). The overall romantic chemistry and passion level of the kisses was also decent (none of those static, 2 second pecks here!)
