Not a fan of the theme music - too disruptive
7.5 out of 10 is my rating. This is a 2015/2016 South Korean/Chinese romantic comedy drama with 20, 15 minute episodes.
Choi Se-hoon (Jung II-woo); is CEO of a company that recruits and develops new talent. He is known as having somewhat of a Midas touch as those he selects go on to have lucrative careers. Hopeful stars in the making line up wishing nothing more than to be the next one chosen by Se-hoon which is a guaranteed path to their dreams of stardom. Se-hoon is arrogant, rude and very full of himself and no is not a word he is accustomed to others directing at him. His much abused staff put up with their difficult to deal with boss as a ride on his coattails is career success. Leaving his staff in charge while attending to other business results in a top female star escaping from a photo shoot in favor of a wild day of fun. Since it is just a concept shoot, Se-hoon‘s staff has a beautiful stranger, who inadvertently helped the female star escape, stand in for the shoot. Se-hoon returns mid-shoot and sees stars as he watches natural beauty, YooYi-rung (Jin Se-yeon) transform into a pro before the camera.
He decides on the spot to make this nobody an offer she surely can’t refuse - to sign a contract for him to “raise her” to be a star of his own making. To his ultimate surprise, Yi-rung takes an instant dislike to Se-hoon and flat refuses his offer. She heads back to her home deep in the forested hills. Not one to be easily dissuaded, Se-hoon soon follows his reluctant Star to be. He is not one for “roughing it” and she lives her life “off the grid”. He soon finds himself doing many things he has never done in an effort to persuade her. Hilarity ensues as the two very determined people face off. Who will win this battle of wills? Has Se-hoon met his match?
Spoilers** This was a light and fluffy romance. Very predictable but not in a bad way. I would have liked it a lot more but the music that was chosen for this television drama was horrible it reminded me of circus music and really broke the 4th wall. I like Jun II Woo as a male lead - I think he is a really good actor and have enjoyed him in every role I have seen him in (Cinderella and the Four Knights; Flower Boy Next Door for example) and I also liked him in this. Monsta X is the k-pop band that plays one of the clients the male lead manages - that right there is almost enough to carry this for me. The story itself is good and the chemistry is believable. Each episode was short and I tend to like longer episodes as it allows for more plot development. Good, for what it is and worth the watch. Just be prepared for really disruptive music.
