Yes, this was light fluff along the lines of Crazy Love. I'm getting seriously over the 'wealthy, entitled chaebol CEO who stoops to fall for the vulnerable employee' trope. More often than not he's an abusive jerk with childhood trauma, who not only initially tramples all over this willing, obedient, often talented woman, who eventually ends up "healing" him with her tolerance, devotion, love etc. The humour at best is predictable and average. There is a lot of FF ing due to a thin story line that can't really fill 12 or 16 eps. There seems to be a huge market still in SK for this dreary cookie cutter plot. Thank goodness there are other Kdramas out there atm like My Liberation Notes, Our Blues, Military Prosecutor Doberman, King of Pigs, Juvenile Justice, DP, where the content, writing and even cinematography is inspiring and fresh with a thought provoking message.
LOL. These days I think I'm probably too old to be watching rom coms. I find myself making grumpy comments. I don't mind predictability but this one just didn't do it for me.
At least I thought My Sassy Princess was funny in parts even though I thought aspects of the leads' relationship was equally unhealthy.
