ParkMin on Personal Taste

5/10 · May 6, 2024

The storyline centered on the male character feigning a gay identity, as outlined in the synopsis, though I’m uncertain if this was deliberate; however, calling the female lead 'Gae In' felt really odd because her name sounded very much like the word "gay" when spoken. The drama adhered to the familiar romantic comedy structure of the early 2010s while exploring themes of opposite-sex cohabitation and pretending to be gay. This premise led to a series of fairly foreseeable events, which were still somewhat enjoyable primarily because of the two main actors. They occasionally felt frustrating, but they did have a good rapport with each other. The character Jin Ho was intended to be someone who kept his feelings hidden, but Lee Min Ho’s portrayal seemed excessively quiet and unchanging, going beyond what the character needed, and coupled with some questionable production choices, this resulted in uncomfortable moments and line deliveries. A love square was introduced to drive the plot forward, but it felt nonsensical; while it initially served a purpose, any further involvement with it proved to be a mistake. I thought the conclusion was underwhelming and uninspired—they opted for a safe and predictable resolution. The parents of the main characters were quickly dismissed in order to finish the story, despite previously seeming like a source of potential conflict. It’s an acceptable drama to watch if you're looking for something light with occasional pleasant moments, but it didn't have enough substance to make me want to recommend it or watch it again.
