Top Highlights of the Love with Flaws Drama
Just like she would never know kdrama, this Korean drama also has many key highlights or features that make it loveable or even be criticized.
Here are some of those key takeaways from this romantic comedy tv series:
1. Romance and Relationships
Since this is a romantic comedy series, we expect to see some fascinating on-screen chemistry that will make it worth watching. Unfortunately, the main couple’s romance in this TV series is quite below the bar, a bit messy, I can say. However, the gay couple though was quite enchanting and exhilarating to watch. They gave that feel-good vibe accompanied by great drama and turn of events, making it powerful and realistic.
On the other hand, Won-Seok showed great patience and understanding for someone who was just understanding their sexuality. This acted as the support system for several individuals in this drama. The sibling’s moment illustrated in this drama by the Joo family was not less than adorable and precious to watch. This depiction of these characters illustrated good relationships and realism that can actually be seen in real life. For example, Wonjae, the older brother, cared more about his siblings and will do anything for them.

2. Charming side stories
A good TV series should always have good side stories from the supporting cast because those are the ones that make up a good-pillar storyline. The Love with Flaws is, therefore, fitted with incredible stories from supporting characters, making it a pretty entertaining show. This type of craft leaves the audience wanting more, thus improving the performance of the movie.
The most commendable story was the one revolving around gay characters Ho Dol and Joo Won Seok.
The side stories and character development for diverse characters in this show were well developed and written. With a narrow focus on them, they still managed to show the characters’ struggles around the main leads and how it impacts the central theme.
3. The comedy
Notably, the comedy peak of this drama was, without a doubt, the toilet humor.
Its comedy isn’t quite likable by some since it seems like they are trying hard to be funny. But if you let yourself ‘loose’ a little bit, you will find the comedy to be a little over the top and funny. It will make you laugh about things that most likely happen in real life. It isn’t a nerd-type comedy that you can watch in Rick and Morty, but the one that you can relate to it.
With well-integrated romance, witty dialogues, and laughable moments, this drama managed to create a unique taste for most of its viewers.
Furthermore, this is that type of drama with a storyline that grows on you over time. The unpredictability of this drama is a known fact to many, thanks to the foolishness trait utilized by most characters.
Also, the way characters executed the romance and comedy in this drama is unique, though cliched. The little bit of flawed storyline was enhanced by lots of funny scenes incorporated into this drama. And with the excessively quirky character, they also managed to effectively create slapstick comedy that made it interesting to watch.

Key Take Aways
The whole “pooping” was really cringy for me in the first few episodes, and these go along with cringy jokes that kept me laughing. Most scenes are funny, but besides those cringy jokes and pooping, the chemistry between the leads is quite charming to see. This is one of the factors the kept me engrossed in the characters’ performances. This show gives pure eagerness on what’s to come next rather than emotional tension, which is quite refreshing and addictive to watch.
When it comes to the storyline, I really love the portrayal of Oh Yeon-Seo’s character. Additionally, the fascinating thing is how they came up with the idea of three handsome brothers with a sister.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Love with Flaws is an entertaining show that thrives not only through its implausible humor but also engaging side stories. Despite the comedy, romance, and quirky side stories, it also shares a powerful message to its viewers; you can be loved irrespective of your flaws.

Furthermore, this drama doesn’t incorporate too much fashion as seen in other series. For example, in It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, where ko mun Yeong actress showcases her fashion sense through her incredible ko mun Yeong outfits.
