My Thoughts on Be Responsible, Flowers Are Blooming
"Be Responsible, Flowers Are Blooming" promised a lighthearted office romance, and for the most part, it delivered. It's a quick and easy read, perfect for when you need a break from heavier stories.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely attention-grabbing: a strong, tomboyish female lead mistakes her soon-to-be younger boss for a pervert on the subway. Classic meet-cute material, right? I was immediately curious to see how their dynamic would play out, especially with the age gap and power imbalance thrown into the mix. I wasn't disappointed, as their initial interactions were quite funny.
What Works Well
The comedic elements are definitely a strong point. The bickering between the main characters is genuinely amusing, and the author does a good job of playing with the trope of the ML's usual playboy tactics not working on the FL. The FL's strong personality really shines through, and it's refreshing to see a female character who isn't easily swayed by the ML's charms. The fact that it's a short story is also a plus, making it easy to binge in one sitting. It doesn't overstay its welcome, and the pacing feels just right.
Areas of Concern
While the story is enjoyable, the work environment depicted feels a bit too unprofessional to be believable. It does take away from the realism somewhat, making it feel more like a fantasy workplace than an actual office. Also, the ending is rather open-ended, which might not satisfy all readers. While I personally didn't mind it, some might prefer a more definitive conclusion. Finally, while I was not expecting a smutty story, the romance felt like it could be more developed.
Final Verdict
Overall, "Be Responsible, Flowers Are Blooming" is a fun and lighthearted read with a strong female lead and plenty of comedic moments. While it has some minor flaws, it's a great choice for a quick and entertaining escape. If you're looking for a short and sweet office romance with a tomboyish FL, this might be just what you need. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
