Small Medicine Packet

My Thoughts on Small Medicine Packet

"Small Medicine Packet" promised a fluffy, modern romance, and for the most part, it delivered. The premise is simple: a traditional medicine doctor working in a modern company aggressively pursues a somewhat cold and aloof male lead. I went in expecting a lighthearted read, and I wasn't entirely disappointed.

First Impressions

The initial chapters definitely hooked me with the FL's proactive approach. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. The setup of a traditional doctor working in a modern corporate environment also provided a nice contrast and plenty of opportunities for comedic situations. I was ready for a fun ride.

What Works Well

The humor is definitely a strong point. The interactions between the FL and her supportive friends were genuinely entertaining, and the author does a good job of creating a lighthearted atmosphere. Many readers praised the FL's boldness and found her antics amusing, and I can see why. It's refreshing to see a female lead take the initiative, especially in a genre that often features more passive characters. The slice-of-life aspect is also well-executed, making the story feel relatable and grounded despite its somewhat fantastical premise. I particularly enjoyed the development of the relationship and watching the ML slowly warm up to the FL.

Areas of Concern

However, I can also understand some of the criticisms leveled against the novel. The FL's aggressive pursuit might not be for everyone. There's a fine line between charming persistence and, well, something that can feel a bit uncomfortable. While I personally didn't find it too off-putting, I can see how some readers might perceive her actions as borderline harassing, especially in the early chapters. The ML's initial coldness, while understandable given his backstory, could also be frustrating for some.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Small Medicine Packet" is a fun and fluffy read, but it's not without its flaws. If you're looking for a lighthearted romance with a proactive female lead and don't mind a bit of over-the-top antics, you'll probably enjoy this. However, if you're sensitive to potentially problematic tropes or prefer more nuanced character interactions, you might want to approach this one with caution. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
