You guys. When this show was announced as a spin-off of No Gain No Love (review here!), I was honestly sooo excited.
Not only is this whole spin-off thing rarely done in kdramas, this would also mean that we’d see Lee Sang Yi in a lead role!
I’ve had a soft spot for Lee Sang Yi for some time, so this was a must-watch, for me.
And now that I’ve come out the other side, I’m here to tell you guys allll about it. 😁
On the upside, Show can be fresh, fun and zippy, and serves up some unexpected narrative surprises that I personally found interesting &/or refreshing.
On the downside, I feel that Show tends to be a bit too matter-of-fact in its portrayal of its lovelines, and is therefore lower on the feels than I would like.
Additionally, I feel that the ending could have been better handled, on several fronts.
Not a bad watch, necessarily, but definitely could have been better.
