A Pride and Prejudice Theme
Loved the first 4 episodes for sure. There's a lot of tension and pent up resentment tinged with an ocean of emotional denialism going on all over the map here, especially between the 2 leads. (lots of parallel sub plot characters) But I just watched episode 6 and the "will they or won't they" Jane Austen vibe at the end of almost each episode is kind of getting milked to death. Suddenly there's less light humour, and the female character is acting like such a narcissist. Sure she's self-centered and prone to outbursts of semi-violence (like throwing shoes and punches at friends and sibling) but her general sincerity and charm had outweighed that stuff. But by ep. 6, it's tipping the other way. She's morphed into annoying with perpetual overbaked tantrums and demanding the kind of attention an 8 yr.old child would. Anyway, by episode 7 you may be like me: hoping for the male character to tell her to ***** off. Maybe if he does, she'll get a grip and the story between them can go somewhere. I'm a k-drama optimist so I have my fingers crossed and will keep watching.
