DNF'd - OTT Meddling Grannies Ruin This
26 February 2023
I've seen the matchmaking grandmas trope done well before but these two interfere so much and so obnoxiously, relentlessly steamrolling over the MC's wishes, that it's not even remotely charming, just annoying af. The FMC's pushy, self-righteous grandma behaves as if she and her noteworthy achievements of teacher and writer are worthless as long as she lacks the crowning achievements of bf or husband. Who cares if she's on an editor's tight deadline to make revisions to realize her lifelong dream of being signed by a top publisher. She's all stressed out but, nope, scary Granny and her ridic matchmaking plots must come first or else... 🙄

That said, it's worth hanging in there for as long as you can bear it for the stunning scenery and cinematography alone. Seriously top marks for that, so maybe just mute it.
