So I Married an Anti-Fan

"So I married my Anti-fan" was a light and fluffy show that was enjoyable to watch, though nothing new or too unique. If you need a feel-good, "enemy to lovers" or "rich guy, poor girl" type show, then you found it. It did have some issues that took away from it being a 10 for me.

Geun-young's character was great. She had great male and female friendships. Go Soo-hwan had no romance with either of his friends, which I also really liked. They communicated well and were there for each other but also had clear boundaries, which was nice to see. Her relationship with her parents was loving and supportive. Geun-young's parents did not push her towards a relationship with Who Joon, setting this kdrama apart from the previous show. Instead, her parents punished Who Joon for treating their daughter so horribly. In many Kdramas and Cdramas, you see the parents forgiving the guy way too easily when they find out that the guy is rich and handsome. But these two stuck up for their daughter. The story could have been better had they included more interaction with the friends and parents. At times, Geun-young was portrayed as dumb when she was technically a journalist and should be very sharp. (One scene that comes to mind is when she is drawing a triangle between JJ, In-hyung, and Who Joon but can't conclude that they are in a love triangle or when she gets lost in Japan and her inability to come up with an adequate solution).

In contrast, Who Joon's relationships were a bit more predatory. Most of the people around him were making money off of him or were people that had betrayed him in some form. Who Joon was raised by a single mom who seemed to never be there for him. So this set up a good way for you to forgive him for anything he does that is awful. But he genuinely was a nice person except when it came to Guen-young. Though he does become nicer to her, he doesn't do enough to redeem himself. Geun-young suffers horrible treatment at the hands of his fans with no pr...

Within less than 3 minutes going into the first episode we were presented with these goofy and silly sound effects for every motion and laughter. My expectations were nullified immediately which definitely helped to endure it. The interactions between the characters were painfully artificial and static, which made the dreadful cheesiness even worse than it already was. This is how it seems from the surface but the content is much more revolting and ugly. Highly not recommended!
