Drama Digest
Noh Rahee is a social media influencer with 100 thousand followers and has her perfect image, but it becomes harder to maintain every day. To preserve her popularity, she makes up an innocent lie that threatens her whole career. Seol Ho Won is a broody yet sweet guy who recently became a track and field star. He also happens to be her childhood friend. This new gain of popularity and fame is what Rahee needs, so she cooks up a lie that gets out of hand. Amid all the chaos, they both fall for each other.
The Feel-Good Part
The storyline and plot are decent enough to entertain. The main characters are played out well by the lead actors. Their chemistry together is also incredible. Even with its shorter running time, the story was able to keep viewers interested. The trope used is a fake relationship, which happens to be one of the favorite storylines in rom-com genres. The story is a well-built miniseries format that also works for the show.
The Disappointing Factor
The storyline and execution had been limiting because of the running time. It needed more detailing and polishing in the series that was missing. The build-up for the secret doesn’t seem that crucial, and it fails to be dramatic. The big reveal also didn’t have that much of an impact. The whole series felt a bit dull because of its technical issues. It did have a fun storyline which they should have executed well. Ho Won’s character was similar to the stereotypical main lead in Korean dramas, his character arc being nothing more than a love interest for Noh Rahee.
