I rarely get emotional over shows, especially one that is meant to be as light-hearted and cheesy as this. But the strength of this show is not in the romance, it is in the daily life aspects of it. It tries to show how women are forced to adhere to unreasonable standards by people around us. Often through casual remarks meant as a joke or as a helpful "advice". And it shows how women can bond with each other to support each other, and how important it is that men also do their part to take responsibility for changing their mindset.
Give this show at least until 5-6 eps. I admit, the first two episodes are a little cringeworthy and it might be frustrating to see how weak the female character is in the beginning. But she matures! And she stands up for herself as her confidence grows! And her relationship with her family is endearing to watch, especially with her father. It made me a little teary even!
My God, I feel like the people giving this series a score lower than 7 probably stopped watching in the first part. Or maybe has never felt sexism to the extent that your blood boils over it.
The romance made me squeal, and I enjoy how they slowly develop their relationship from friendship, instead of just immediately falling in love. I find it realistic that you'd be attracted to someone but try to rationalize it as friendship first. Especially since the both of them are newbies in love.
There are still cliches here and there, but I find a cliche used well with a fun cast can be entertaining to watch anyway. So if you're looking for a light, romcom-type watch that's a little meatier than most of its counterparts, this is the right show for you.
