the fabulous
just finished watching.
such a cute little drama. i was attracted to it because of a singular clip on youtube when ji eun is comforting joseph while woo min laughs.
i. the centre point of the drama which COMPLETELY made it my favourite was the friendships. even tho joseph and ppyoji were a segment and seon ho and woo min the other, they all complimented each other so well. perfectly showed the dynamics of a four-people friend group where two people are closer to each other. but it didn't deter seon ho and ji eun to be so close to each other, nor did it stop joseph and woo min to love each other.
another thing about friendships is the love between boss and employee, ms oh and ji eun, mr do and woo min, joseph and esther.
the friendships of joseph and ji eun was so comforting, them being each other's hype men and always there. seon ho and woo min was personally very attached to me because of the nature of call out friendships mixed with the same rough affection we all have.
ii. i am SO glad kdramas have moved on from the 'toxic parents' trope. i am so sick of seeing unsupportive parents and fathers who try to hide their emotions while the mother slyly tells the daughter who is shedding a tear. seon ho's parents were so fucking supportive and open about it. and joseph's mother, in the first ep, i thought she was going to be the airhead mother who's just...there. but she really is his biggest hype(wo)man and supporter.
iii. the thing that did bug me was when ji eun slept with woo min in the first ep despite being in a relationship with nam jin at the time. seeing how it was never discussed again i thought maybe i was mistaken but...idk. still bothers me a bit.
iv. but apart from that, THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM was so fucking charged. like, in the first ep, during the pub scene, you could literally feel the sparks in between them. even if it was a little predictable, we dont watch kdramas like these for the slice of life it offers, but rather a feeling of comfort.
v. seon ho. my woman. what a fucking badass. the way she stood up for those models? bad ass. also she's so fucking pretty.
ps - the side plot of do young was so weird and unnecessary did not get it. except when he showed that album to ji eun.
pss - may everyone get a friend like esther amen.
