A lighthearted romcom with a dull second lead story
So I married an Anti-fan is a very fun and fluffy drama. I feel like the beginning episodes were really great and entertaining , but after that it was a pretty average drama with some great scenes. I feel like it's a pretty standard romcom with a plot that's made understandable for the viewers. It also has pretty cliché scenes and tropes that was used well which remind me of older dramas. I think it's also important to consider that this drama was made in 2018 and I do believe it is a good drama of it's time. I loved the romance especially when the ML was head over heels for the FML as there were some really cute, heart fluttering scenes. Those type of scenes were absolutely great.
I really did not like the story that involved the SFL and SMLs relationship. It became pretty repetitive and I pretty much skipped a lot of their scenes. I didn't like the the way the SFL would mope around. It seemed really pathetic and became really annoying at some point. I feel like the SML and SFL were equally as annoying with the way that their lives obsessively just revolved around the ML. I did at some point feel sympathetic for them though.
Also, I wish that the TV show was more prevalent in the drama. I felt like they could've utilised the show better in developing the leads relationship. I feel like I was expecting more with the TV show, but there were still some good scenes.
The last two episodes (15-16) were pretty good. I felt like they took their time with wrapping up the show and bringing peace and reconciliation. It seems that the second leads seemed to reconcile and have a sort of gradual redemption which I'm not sure how I feel about. I really loved the relationship with the PDs, it was really cute. Also the ending scene was really cute and wrapped up the series well. I feel like the main couple were a very mature couple and didn't have any unnecessary misunderstandings about each other. I found that pretty refreshing that they had respect and trust for each other.
Overall, If you're looking for a light-hearted fluffy drama deffo give this a go. It's a simple story and I found it really easy to watch the episodes weekly as it aired. I just feel that the drama would've been so much better with less screen time with the seconds leads story but I think the drama ended in a great way.
I put a low rewatch as I don't tend to rewatch many shows.
