Sunbae, Don't Put on That Lipstick

You have an attractive couple but the writing is lackluster, which creates lack of chemistry in the leads. The female lead's main character is too aloof. She's almost even joyless. The problems in this show I blame on the director and writing, not the actors or actresses.

Jae-Shin, her boss is treated unfairly by everyone. He doesn't score many points for hiding his engagement but I feel like his parents were awful, the chairman was awful to him , and even his best friend and fiance was absolutely awful to him. But he was also awful to himself. He was a social climber who allowed people to walk all over him When he walked away it was too late.

Interesting drama with superior OST, feels more real life than most, well-acted by almost everyone involved.

Just quite frustrated that the stunning male lead who lacks nothing gets treated like a doormat by the plain female lead. The pairing could have been done better. Somewhat redeemed at the end but hardly satisfying.

Other than that, really enjoyed most of the side characters, everyone did such great job and are actually more interesting to watch than the female lead.

I love this drama!

Not too melodramatic romance.

A very practical drama where characters are very much real and no dumb clichès.

Everyone has their own struggles in life and according to that they react, which means the bad is not always bad and the good one is not always good.

Some points about this drama which I like the most are:-

• The importance of self love and how to heal yourself and open about it to your loved ones rather than hiding your pain.

• Divorce is not a taboo, if the marriage is going nowhere then there is no point to hold on to it.

Take care of the child while separating as divorce hurts children the most so,they needed our support at that time.

• Time is the best healer and medicine.

• Family support is the most important thing in life.

• Not being a judgemental idiot.

• A healthy friendship with the collegues which is quite rare.

Still, somethings are shown unnecessarily and dragged but overall a very healthy series which will make you smile at the end.

Khamsahmnida!!! 💜

How can all the side character characters be more attractive than a female lead? Honestly, I like the side stories and side characters better. She simply cannot attract me into the story and doesn't have me feel the love between two. She looks too cold and it's a bit hard to imagine that those two guys are fighting over that lady. She doesn't have to be very pretty but a more attractive one with real gestures and performance would have been definitely way better. I like even the roommate lady who is so cute. The two sisters are so lovely and their stories are also worth watching the only love story that is bland is all the man leads. The male lead is a good actor. I enjoyed it watching him. My favorite couple is the big sister and her boyfriend, the boss of the company. The younger sister's husband (no spoiler here) is also a very good story. In short, I watched it for the sake of the side characters.

This show is okay but far from great. Actress Jin-ah Won and and actor Kim Seok-woo are excellent thought. If they were then what's the problem? Too many other romances, stories and character's issues going on. So many that it detracts from the main character's romance. It was hard to keep track who loved who, who hated who. There is just not enough time given to the main characters' story and romance. On the positive side the show does give us an interesting look into the world of a cosmetics company and its employees. I have o admit that I liked the ending. Korean shows (Kgramas) are known for their non-definitive open ending. This show at least shows what happens with the main characters.
