An actor, Nam Kang-ho, and a lawyer, Yeo Mi-ran, fall in love with each other when they start fake dating to avoid a scandal.
I really didn’t have any intention of watching this dramas as the promos didn’t catch my interest, but I decided to give it a shot after reviewing the Dramas With a Side of Kimchi Discord channel. At ten episodes around 45 minutes long, it’s a quick and fun ride. I almost think this drama would have benefited from one or two more episodes as the conclusion to the two main love stories felt a little too rushed to make for a satisfying ending. Nam King-ho and Yeo Mi-ran have a typical romance with some nice skinship scenes, but their romance didn’t feel fully fleshed out by the end of the series. Even less so was the romance between Do Won-jun and Shin Na-eun. What did they really like about one another besides them being hot? No clue, friends.
While the romances were enjoyable, the true intimate connection was felt between the main leads and their best friends. Teo Yoo and Hi-hoon Kim had insane chemistry together, and the story points this out with plenty of romantic beats between the two. It’s queer baiting for laughs and giggles, which is a bit disappointing. It could have so easily made for a contemporary and fun BL romance. Mi-ran and Shin Na-eun also had a kindered spirit connection that felt genuine and heartfelt. I always enjoy a good sismance and bromance, which this show did well.
