I am getting too old, too cynical for this sugary confection of a drama. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind fluff, sweet, no-brainer romance, but this drama although with all the right tropes and cliches (rich older CEO ML, bright and cheery younger FL, love triangle, unrequited love, etc.), it just fails in the genuine feel department. Something is off, and I can blame it on the lack of chemistry between the ML and FL, how the FL is written and portrayed, etc. The FL, who happens to be on the average side in terms of looks and intelligence, is selected by the 2nd FL to be the ML’s assistant because she’s average. The 2nd FL, having carried a torch for the ML since college in her unrequited love, does not want any pretty females near the ML. Through some forced meetings, coincidences, and tarot card readings, the audience is made to believe that two good-looking, successful, rich company co-owners are suddenly infatuated with the FL all within the first three episodes. This is just not enough time for me, as a viewer, to really believe in the genuine feelings of these three. If I have to nitpick about wardrobe, I am questioning why the styling department opts to send the FL into a professional office environment wearing sneakers, t-shirts (tying a neckerchief does not make printed t-shirts dressy or professiona), jeans, and rompers, especially when she’s the assistant to the CEO. First day, ok, I am fine with her clothes since she interviewed for a voice acting gig and not an office job, but after that and still in t-shirts and jeans? No way. The FL’s naïveté and gullibility just make me pull out my hair in frustration. I am surprised she’s grown to be at this age without the help of the ML. This may be a trope that allows the ML and FL to have some form of physical contact, but I guffawed at how easily they sprain an ankle with a simple fall (heck, I slipped on ice, landed on my butt, and still able to walk and attend class) or catch a cold/flu while standing in the rain for maybe five seconds. If you’re going to have a boring, predictable plot for a drama, at least make the main leads’ relationship believable, genuine, and maybe a dose of sizzling hot.
