So I Married My Anti-Fan

I'm not going to sit here and say this Asian drama is perfect. Honestly, I'd probably give it an 8.5 stars if I could, but I'll be nice and round it up.

I watch a lot of Asian dramas, like many others, and a lot of them I eventually stop watching and never finish the ending because it's so cliche. I get so tired and bored of the typical Asian dramas so this was refreshing. I do read the webtoon, and that's what made me interested in the drama.

I binged it. I have not binged and lost sleep on a drama in a LONG time. Very long. Even though there's some cringey moments and cliche scenes, I overly did enjoy this.

I find that most dramas SooYoung acts in are pretty good, but the main actors have really good chemistry together and it made it feel so much better.

I was bored most of the time, the characters aren't very likeable.

I came with some excitement when I started watching this series. The theme, the actors and the story felt just like what I needed. Unfortunately, I found myself waiting whole 8 episodes for the series to start providing actual development. The ending of this series itself was not that something even though it was a happy ending. If you are willing to wait, starting from episode 9, you'll start getting some action and from there on things will keep getting better as the plot opens wide and starts to develop as it is supposed to be.

A journalist played by Choi Soo-young gets into a misunderstanding with a successful singer played by Choi Tae-joon, and ends up flinging a shoe at him which is captured on film hitting him. This altercation leads them both to appear on a tv series called "So I married an anti fan" where they are expected to behave like a couple. Behind the scenes there are people trying to hurt both their careers and the initial frostiness between them melts as they begin to care about each other and want to shield the other from harm. It is a predictable script and the story seems to fizzle out at the end but the romance is sweet and there are some amusing moments.

So I Married An Anti-Fan is a rom-com that's sweet, cheesy and sometimes emotional as well. A simple story of a journalist's life changing moment when she gets involved with a popular star.

The cast were good, especially Choi Soo Young who played here mischievous yet understanding character pretty well. While the character development of the lead pairing was palpable, it did not reach a point where you feel like the supporting cast was not part of the picture at all.

With a breath-taking mix of comedy, romance, friendship, bromance, jealousy, and a lot more, the journey of Geun-young and Hoo Joon in this drama was satisfactory

My Rating : 7.5/10.
