Girlfriend

When a struggling actress, who only does small roles, agrees to act as the pretend girlfriend of a CEO and investor, will their love turn from reel to real?

This story follows the life of a woman who is a struggling actress. When her boyfriend finally gets a big break and she realizes that he is two-timing her with a popular actress to get his career up and running, she is heartbroken. Her mind still reeling from his betrayal, when she is offered a deal to act as the nurse and girlfriend of a CEO and investor, she agrees to help him out. As they both learn more about each other, they realize that they might not be so different after all. Can their pretend love ever turn real?

I found that this drama has nothing new to offer apart from the romantic scenes between the leads. The story was not too different, the characterization of the male and female lead was typical, and I was unable to relate to either of them on any level. The female is shown to be incredibly intelligent at times and conveniently dumb at others. I just don’t get it. The only thing I would say is that if you enjoy a typical plot where the CEO saves a damsel in distress, then you can definitely enjoy this on a lazy weekend. However, if you are searching for something new and different, then skip this one. I will leave the decision up to you.
