I was bored most of the time, the characters aren't very likeable.

So I Married An Anti-Fan is a rom-com that's sweet, cheesy and sometimes emotional as well. A simple story of a journalist's life changing moment when she gets involved with a popular star.

The cast were good, especially Choi Soo Young who played here mischievous yet understanding character pretty well. While the character development of the lead pairing was palpable, it did not reach a point where you feel like the supporting cast was not part of the picture at all.

With a breath-taking mix of comedy, romance, friendship, bromance, jealousy, and a lot more, the journey of Geun-young and Hoo Joon in this drama was satisfactory

My Rating : 7.5/10.

I am binging episode 4 now and i love the drama so far. Hope they keep up the good work and hope for the best.

This part is added right after finishing the whole drama.

I still stand on my opinion . It was wrapped up really nicely and the story was healing and soothing in a unique way. Even the cliche romantic scenes were beautiful . Support the drama because it does worth that much.

A journalist played by Choi Soo-young gets into a misunderstanding with a successful singer played by Choi Tae-joon, and ends up flinging a shoe at him which is captured on film hitting him. This altercation leads them both to appear on a tv series called "So I married an anti fan" where they are expected to behave like a couple. Behind the scenes there are people trying to hurt both their careers and the initial frostiness between them melts as they begin to care about each other and want to shield the other from harm. It is a predictable script and the story seems to fizzle out at the end but the romance is sweet and there are some amusing moments.

It's a simple story but it satisfies me. Even though there was cliche scenes it was enjoyable. I started watching this show without much expectations but it turned out to be good. There isn't any lag in the story and you can binge watch it without getting bored.

Honestly, K dramas don't have to do much to entertain me. It's about comforting cliches. But I hand it to the writers in this one.

After a misunderstanding at an event, I found the FL/Reporter's rush to judgement and reluctance to accept any responsibility for her behavior or its consequences infuriating, much as the ML/K-pop idol did after he was subjected to vomit and shoe-chucking. And I found the artificial saintliness the K-pop idol presents to his fans in public utterly cloying and disingenuous, just as she did. So I believed their reactions to one another because I had the same reactions myself. I was annoyed by them both.

So there's that.

I have no idea if the kpop industrial complex actually cranks out highly disciplined homogenized pop stars the way it's presented here, but it may be trainees do put up with a lot of 'handling' and reinvention on their way up. Additional characters include two friends and trainees who failed. One is the mandatory mopey pop wannabe ex-girlfriend who's with the other frenemy, a rich washed up K-pop wannabe now running his own talent agency. He's the jealous antagonist who seeks every chance to attack his former friend now major star.

Shoechucker gets fired after pressure from K-pop idol's people and so she goes on a social media rant to slag him off. This creates a backlash against her which inspires fan retaliation, a smarmy rescue by K-pop idol and a TV show "So I married my Anti-Fan." It's a fake 'reality' show putting enemies under one roof to see what happens.

Well, enemies let down their guards, learn about each other and fall in lurvvvvv, which causes all kinds of trouble for kpop idol, whose fans hate her.

As I say, not Dostoyevsky but a cozy K-romcom.

I read the webtoon already. So, I already know the storyline. Still, I am eagerly waiting for every episode. This means, even if it is a cliché rom com k drama, it still has the ability to capture your attention. It is a light drama; you need not to think much while watching it.

Currently, most of the ongoing k-drama are of thriller genre. "So I married an anti-Fan" is a sweet escape from such dramas.

I finished Vincenzo a while ago, although I liked that drama but just like Cha Young, it was hard to endure all those murder scenes.

Also, at this moment, we are facing pandemic, second wave is more dangerous, we are already living in a harsh reality. I did not want to create more stress on my mind by watching more stressful k-dramas.

In the meantime, "So I married an anti-Fan" came to me as a blessing and I am enjoying it very much. I will highly recommend it.

I've been watching Kdramas from last 10 years and have watched so many good dramas, I watched trailer of this drama and liked it so decided to watch it. The plot was not up to mark and lack a lot in the middle, it was unnecessarily stretched a lot. Other supporting casts have done good work, but I am being asked to told about the lead casts, the Chemistry was missing completely.

The female lead was acting good in scenes of being annoyed but when it comes to romance, you don't feel anything after watching them together, specially the female lead she was helpless in some scenes.

And the plot is old same and not very interesting, yeah there were few scenes when I laughed. But in some scenes I don't understand is it something I should laugh unless the background music doesn't tell you so.

I would say the male lead is still a little better in his acting than the other. Didn't enjoyed much!

I'm not going to sit here and say this Asian drama is perfect. Honestly, I'd probably give it an 8.5 stars if I could, but I'll be nice and round it up.

I watch a lot of Asian dramas, like many others, and a lot of them I eventually stop watching and never finish the ending because it's so cliche. I get so tired and bored of the typical Asian dramas so this was refreshing. I do read the webtoon, and that's what made me interested in the drama.

I binged it. I have not binged and lost sleep on a drama in a LONG time. Very long. Even though there's some cringey moments and cliche scenes, I overly did enjoy this.

I find that most dramas SooYoung acts in are pretty good, but the main actors have really good chemistry together and it made it feel so much better.

I came with some excitement when I started watching this series. The theme, the actors and the story felt just like what I needed. Unfortunately, I found myself waiting whole 8 episodes for the series to start providing actual development. The ending of this series itself was not that something even though it was a happy ending. If you are willing to wait, starting from episode 9, you'll start getting some action and from there on things will keep getting better as the plot opens wide and starts to develop as it is supposed to be.

I think this drama came with a really good concept. But chemistry Between main character was totally disappointed. Just sudden kiss can't start a love story,they need to know. I don't know why they ended this drama just like one side love. Even at the last moment of this drama,main actress was still confuse is she really love him or not or is she really his girlfriend. And i personally didn't like her facial expression after their real love story begin.

Its a light hearted drama....njoying their superb chemistry. I am at episode 10 and eagerly waiting for next. Its beautifully scripted with right time of comedy and at the same time little bit spark of romance. Its a total package where you will be eager to watch them together for every eposode.

In my opinion, it's a really enjoyable drama. The comedy part is really great, as Soo Young really portrays Geun-Yeong character. The romantic part is also very cute, as I could feel my heart pounding hard whenever the romantic scene between Tae Joon (Who-Joon) and Geun-Yeong come. The plot itself is not bad itself and not heavy at all so this is the type of drama that I would enjoy after spending a long hours at work.

This series is really awsm , I just fell in love with this series.

So I Married My Anti-Fan is an absolutely adorable romantic comedy. Choi Tae Jun is a real cutie and plays the handsome Superstar celebrity Hoo Joon perfectly! I saw on a live fan Episode that he hasn't done a series for approx 2 years so this was really impressive. The series will make you smile and is definitely worth watching as hardships of making it in the celebrity world come to light along with hiding relationships, love triangles, loneliness, growing up as a celebrity and falling in love. The only thing is that the title could have been a little less subtle as it is easy to guess how the ending is going to go.

Could have been a lot better than it was, could have been a better build up to the romance too.

It felt like the male lead just suddenly decided he really liked the female lead...not as if it had been building for a while.

Funny though and good as something to watch without having to think about it.

Wow! The acting is superb, especially Choi Tae-Joon who is warm, funny, humble, handsome, charming & a gentleman. There was a great deal of chemistry between him and Choi Soo Young, but she always seemed a tad detached. All of the secondary characters were also great. I was rooting for Hoo Joon (Who-Joon) from the beginning. The only thing that made me quite angry is how someone who worked in publishing like Soo Young, could have so insanely relinquished her laptop, not deleted her inane posts about WhoJoon, etc. And worked for that rag. Plus, as an attorney, I would have sued the life out of that rag sheet ....

But there was a happy ending and I think his music benefitted from his trials.

Will be watching again. This is a must see. Prepare to laugh, smile, weep, cheer and get angry. A+

Also want to add that there was no extraneous fluff or wasting of time in this great show. I've noticed a tendency to add fluff etc. To fill out the 1 hour. Notable exceptions come to mind - Itaewon Class and yes, this drama. Succinct, touching, moving, growth of the characters.

But again just wish that she had sued the rag.

I didn't know that this series is from a webtoon, I just saw a clip from tiktok and immediately watch it. It is such a good rom. Com movie, some scenes are cliche but i dont know why if love this series so much and i'm looking forward to the upcoming episode.

CANT WAIT FOR FRIDAY!!!!!!

I liked the female lead but she could be a brat. The male lead was very pretty but underwhelming. The story was kind of nutty but ... oh, well. It was good to watch to close out the day, but not nearly as good as so many other KDramas. There were endearing parts, cute scenes, but mostly a lot of riding in cars and misunderstandings, which is really annoying.
