Some people are disappointed with The Best Hit as it’s is focusing on romance, but I think they intentionally portrayed all the kdrama clichés. They’d been doing it a lot in other episodes as well.
It doesn’t really matter to me whether it’s intentional or not. I’m sure the tonal shift from comedy to romance is intentional, but I don’t have to like it. What’s the point of portraying kdrama romance cliches completely seriously when it’s supposed to be a comedy? Why not poke fun at them, subvert them, parody them, etc.? They could still focus on romance and do that. I’m just finding the second half of the show not nearly as funny as the first half. I mean that’s somewhat expected with most dramas, and if they were focusing on the heartwarming family relationships and non romantic relationships I’d be a little happier about it. I just don’t find the main loveline here to be particularly well-developed, so the focus on it doesn’t interest me at all. I find myself comparing TBH unfavorably to My Only Love Song which I just finished and loved and imo did a way better job balancing comedy and romance and developing a loveline between a similarly constantly bickering duo without going super serious on cliches.
You’ve the right to not like it. I was just saying it because I could see that they’d been doing some kdrama cliche theme on each episode, so I don’t mind the romance because I don’t take it seriously.

They used every single cliche, but it works for this drama.
