Simple Office Romance

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Employee): Ki Tae
T (Employee): Lee Wan

- Beginning: B and T are best friends during Highschool and after T sort of dodged when B tried to kiss him after graduation, their relationship ended with B thinking T has rejected him and totally dissapearing from T's life. The story starts 7 years later when B applies at the company that T works at and is forced to cooperate. At the beginning, B is extremely unconfortable around T while the latter tries his best to approach him, something B doesn't seem to understand and thinks T is messing with him.

- Middle: Despite all his reservations, they still start spending more time together.

- End: T finally confesses his love to B and what really happened in the past is revealed. As it turned out T has been looking for B for the last 7 years and was about to give up when B appeared. T is very afraid that B will dissapear on him again. This revelation is rather ironic because B ran away thinking that T has rejected him when the one who really suffered from this incident isn't B but T. They finally talk it out and B promises to stay. The story ends with them happily together.

**My Opinion**

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors playing B and T. Their chemistry was amazing and their interactions were cute and sweet. They also do a great job in portraying the affection between the characters.
- I really like the foreplay/flirting. B's reactions are very cute as well.
- The characters are very likeable despite each having their own flaws.
- The writing is okay. The story flows well despite the plot being very weak as all the attention is put on the development of their relationship.
- I liked the relatively lack of angst (most of the angst comes from the characters overactive imagination).

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Plot as a whole is ok but there aren’t any plot twists or memorable moments. It is however a very cliche and predictable plot with little conflict.
- Use of lack of communication and misconceptions as source of angst is overdone. A lot of issues would have been resolved if B and T just talked to each other.
- The writing is pretty simple and the other characters seem to only exist for the sake of getting B and T together rather then being their own person.

**Conclusion**
An OK watch but probably won’t be revisiting.

Let’s be real- it wasn’t that good.

If you’re looking for a short love story with no deep meaning, this is the one for you. Things went WAY too fast. It was cute, but as someone who likes to thing about the meanings of what I’m watching, this had no real story.

The actors were cute together, but it didn’t feel real. Watching this, it felt like one of those rip off reality TV series where the director is quite obviously telling them how to act.

I did like the idea of the Love Mate. I think the story was the thing that tied this show really together. How they met was cute, and I can totally see how people really enjoyed this.
