#FirstImpression: Your House Helper (당신의 하우스헬퍼) (2018)

Snippet of the drama (From KBS World)

The daily life of an average working woman involves: a packed subway during the rush hours, a miserable old boss, juniors clawing their way up, mounting credit card debt, and a rusty and tired body.

And above all, the worst is the endless housekeeping work that awaits her at home. But what if a handsome guy appears and takes care of all the housekeeping work for her? And not only that, what if he solves the problems in her complicated and confused life? In this drama, a male house helper does housekeeping works in different women's houses and tries to solve their issues.

My first impression

First of all, let me address a few things. Was meant to write something about this drama after watching 4 episodes (or 8 episodes of 30 minutes, whichever you call it) but I was busy unpacking my stuff and exploring a few places in Banff National Park so after 6 episodes, that is. Secondly, I didn't plan to pick up this drama. Thus, I know nothing about the plot and the cast. I kinda jumped into watching this drama after watching the first 2 episodes mindlessly back when I was in Malaysia.

After watching 6 episodes, I think I like this drama? Think it's a drama that I anticipate the most every week. Not that because it's super great, super funny or anything but because it's an easy watch. Like it's super easy and predictable in some parts. I know some people don't like predictable shows but each to their own eh. 

I don't have anything much to say about the cast as I'm familiar with some of them while some of them are new faces to me. For those that I'm familiar with, I think they are doing a good job. For the new faces, maybe it's just an okay job? Especially the female lead. Honestly, this was not my first drama of her but I just realized something about her acting that I found quite distracting. She has this one habit when talking. I can even predict when she's gonna do that thing even before she opens her mouth. Not sure how to explain it but you'll realize if you watch this drama.

As of now, I'm not really invested and interested in the main leads love line (if there's any!). I'm more interested in Sang Ah and Jin Kook's relationship. Mainly because Jin Kook is such an eccentric person? He's such a cute and fluffy amazeball. Having said that, I didn't like and condone his behaviour of staying outside of Sang Ah's house in the recent episodes. That was very stalkerish of him. I am kind of mad at the writer for having him act in such a way. You are not supposed to do that to such a charming character,writer-nim!!!

Oh, I also love the cleaning tips! This is something that I definitely want to pick up and put into practice after watching this drama.

All in all, I think I'm going to watch this drama until the end. Mainly because I think it's going to require less effort from me compared to other dramas that I'm currently watching and I want to see more of Jin Kook (with less stalkerish behaviour). Hehehe :)
