Eye Love You

I get that this TV series was aired in primetime, when youngsters are still awake to watch, I also understand the conservatism of east Asia's society. But the FL is 30 years old by her own admission and the ML is 26. I don't expect nor wish for raunchy, vulgar scenes. However when the two leads join lips in what couldn't even be called a peck. When the FL acts like a preteen, it detracts from the story, and insults viewers' intelligence. This is a woman who is a CEO. The ML is a PhD candidate. Then too make matters worse the ML's friend and colleague acts like he's in 5th grade. I couldn't finish the series. It was just too silly and childish.

Maybe this could have worked - despite the silly premise - but the FL hams it up to such an extent that your attention is distracted constantly.

She reacts to every situation with jerky head movements and over pops her eyes at every opportunity. She acts like a two year old in the cleaning up leaves scene and gets angry when she is hungry to a nonsensical degree. When she is eating she grins idiotically.

She is a terrible actress.

The story - if one can call it that - deals with the fact that although she can read the minds of others she can't read that of the ML. After first meeting him as a delivery boy - coincidence is stretched to the limit when he becomes an intern at her company.

For his part the FL is a pleasant enough character and acts with restraint and believability with the silly situation. Of course there is a third wheel in the shape of her boss who also seems to like her and a fourth one in a co-worker who is attracted to the ML.

This is candyfloss entertainment with no substance and no plausibility - don't expect anything and you wont be disappointed.

I found this to be a totally enjoyable drama, I personally rate it much higher than what it currently is ranked at on this website. Its charming and sweet, its not heavy at all. It's perfect for a lazy Sunday binge watch!

It never tries to do too much, maybe people were expecting something deeper, but I personally think it works well just the way it is.

I didn't see any of the "over-acting" from Fumi Nikaido that I keep reading in these reviews, I think she did her job perfectly. ML was charming as well, and the second couple added just the right amount of comedy. If you like romcoms then you will enjoy this series, definitely give it a try !!

This was quite an enjoyable show. Cute story. Lots of charming and interesting characters. A mildly interesting back-story.

But then episode 4 comes along, and you can start to see it....that failing of every less than stellar writer out there: The typical "Let's make the entire plot revolve around miscommunications, misperceptions, or total lack of reason." But episode 4 ends kind of meh....maybe OK.

But the transition into episode 5, which makes zero sense considering episode 4, brings all the typical tropes to the forefront. The lead, who is quirky, cute, and unsure, rapidly becomes unlikeable and annoying in her behaviors. And the writers don't help any by making the motivations behind every scene she is in justify a completely different outcome, or at least a completely different response from her.

Her actions become completely random and unfathomable that you stop caring, simply because you know she is going to say, act, or do something stupid.

I know it is only 5 episodes in, but if this show continues to revolve around using these cheap overused tricks to generate any sort of conflict (where any sane person wouldn't have any) then this show isn't going to get any better. And note that I said "sane". Sure, she has an ability that others don't know she has. But it does NOT justify her actions, and hence it becomes clear she has a serious psychological issue as well. And her traumatic back story can't, or hasn't, justified it one bit.

Again, lazy writers using lazy inconceivable interpersonal responses simply to move the plot/conflict along is just painful to watch.

This is super cute, so definitely not everyone's cup of tea. I wasn't expecting it but personally I loved the first five episodes, the rest are coming in later.

The reason why I enjoyed it so much is that basically I took it as an anime with human actors. It feels very cartoonish, how everyone's character is so exaggerated, and they all seem like cartoon characters. As well as the whole premise of being telepathic of course.

So anyways, the cuteness is exaggerated too, they have literally made the sweetest, cutest, nicest ML to ever have existed in any series, which reminds me of stuff I used to watch when I was a kid, and right now I don't mind it.

Bonus points, my two favorite languages in one series! My ears are in bliss.
