Pretendente Surpresa

It's been a while for me to have such an emotional drive-through KDrama. The series includes all of my favorite actors, acting is so on point and full of chemistry and so beyond a big raise for Sejeong to be the lead in the drama. She now has the chance to prove herself an amazing actress. Another big thumb up is for the screenwriter performing an absolutely hyping and charming storytelling.

I love this drama! I think it is one of the funniest K-dramas I have watched so far. After watching so many serious dramas with action and mind boggling plot twists, I was in the mood for something light hearted and stumbled across this on netflix. If you are looking for something less serious and want to laugh this is the one to watch.

I'll start by saying the plot doesn't bring anything original to the table. Now with that out of the way...

Everything from character development, makeup, typical clichés, romance, and the comedic scenes are exaggerated to such a degree that you cannot help yourself from laughing out loud. The show is pure entertainment and sometimes it makes you wonder whether it takes itself seriously. The smooth transition between plot development and outrageously funny scenes is nothing short of brilliant.

This goes on for the first 8 episodes or so. Once it transitions into the later stages it takes a sharp turn towards typical Korean rom com. Which isn't bad in itself but it did leave me sightly disappointed. It left me with the impression that it started incredibly strong and ended on a low note.

The chemistry between the couples is one of the show's strongest points. You can clearly tell they are extremely comfortable in each other's presence. The portrayal of both a conservative and libertine couple is also well done with ample screen time to develop both relationships.

I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a light hearted romantic comedy with a unique sense of humour.

The show is really funny and at some scenes it even made me laugh out loud. The romance in this show is fabulous. The characters were very intriguing and funny in their own way. When I started watching I just couldn't stop watching it and used to always wait for Mondays and Tuesdays just to watch the next episode as soon as possible. It has two couple and both the couple are very sweet.

I love how the main couple both were immensely wonderful to watch. The characters were all good looking with Shin Ha-ri played by Kim Sejeong way too pretty. The side character lineup was also very admirable as they played a big role to make me laugh with their super funny scenes. This is a must watch current rom-com. One of the best in this genre.

Just watch it. I have been struggling to find a new kdrama from many months after hometown cha cha cha got over. My search is over. Found my new favourite gem.

Reasons: What worked

1) Both actors and actresses looks perfect for their role. Age wise as well as attractive wise.

2) Fast paced and 90% of the screen time is devoted to main couples.

3) It's funny and entertaining. Yeah, I can't remember last time seeing a romantic show with funny lines and lots of funny scenes Finally, Kdrama is getting the humor right.

4) Very likable side couple and their story so far.

5) And the most important thing in the show :- Story and Romance. It clicks. It clicks from very first moment in the show. The chemistry between them makes you feel involve in the show from very first episode.🇰🇷 You don't have to wait for second and third episodes for it. And I have seen lots of Kdramas in the past and there are very few shows who manages to do that. It gets your attention and the next thing you know is that you are addicted. You just can't stop watching.

6) Message to the director, writer and producer. Thank you for bringing this show on netflix. The feeling one gets from watching a romantic kdrama is something out of this world. Its a special feeling you get when you are in love. You guys are doing God work by spreading happiness and love across the world. Keep doing it. I love it. The whole World loves it. Thank you. Thank you.
