No Gain, No Love
(2024 - Prime 12 1:08 eps)
A person who calculates returns on every decision, the FL doesn't want to miss out on benefits her company offers to married workers. She recruits the kind-hearted, neighborhood convenience store worker to enter a fake marriage.
The FL is a person who initially isn't very likable - no one seems to measure up to her standards. While there is character growth for all, the FL doesn't change her personality, but our understanding of her changes, making this story so beautiful.
Powerful female roles & men with multiple dimensions make characters that stay with us. Both lead couples, & even the bromance have great chemistry. Outstanding writing with phenomenal acting & the comedy is some of the best ever - from very small wordplay to full-on slapstick, it has it all.

s1m0n4@whoosh I agree with you, #LeeSungKyung always gives me a cold vibe in romance scenes. It's a pity because her acting is good in any other aspect.
It's a light, nice and funny comedy #kdrama . #KimYoungDae nailed his complicated role with the personality shift and the realization that he loves her rather than hate her.

Sh**ting Stars
(2022 - Viki, 16 1:00 eps)
Can't make a hashtag with *. The Korean title makes wordplay with "poop.” The title could also be "Shitting Stars.” Because Entertainment companies clean up after the actors’ messes.
An enemies-to-lovers story about an actor & his management/PR staff. It's a cute & sweet romcom with only a bit of trauma. The story is interesting, & the acting is good. The chemistry between the leads was weak (I didn't feel the chemistry with the FL in Weightlifting Fairy either). The transition to lovers seemed to move too fast for their history, which they hashed out with a 2 sentence conversation, but they were darling together.
The other couples are worth watching for their stories. It was a fun watch, with many familiar faces, & an interesting peek behind the scenes.

Extraordinary You
(2019 - Viki, 32 35min eps)
Light (sun-, spot-, star-, filtered through fingers & leaves) & trumpet flowers (symbolizing waiting) result in beautiful scenes. Cast is *filled* with amazing young actors in their 1st or early lead roles. Great OST.
Messages about not succumbing to others' expectations, creating your destiny, not letting the past define you, & making yourself the star of your life. Perfect for a high school romcom.
The ending is messy: plot holes, repeated plot devices, uneven char. dev., kDrama illogic, strong FLs dissolving. The writers didn’t seem to know how to wrap things up.
The beginning is captivating & I would probably rewatch it again with some fast-forwarding in the later episodes.
