Okay, maybe that was the point in the first episode, but then it was not. I am a HUGE PSJ fan. I love love love him, he is the undeniable king of romantic comedy BUT, this drama was more of a miss for me. His character is cruel, hypocrite and even an elitist. The ML was a very unlikable character, the FL was the quintessential self sacrificing heroine. I was not a big fan of her caricature character and predictable journey of ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan. I think there was a little redemption for me towards the end when she accepted her true self. She wasn't ugly, she was just broke

At some point, I thought that the FL and the SFL had a wonderful friendship, but boy I even did not get that. I do have major Second lead syndrome after watching this show. Siwon was delightful at times except when he was not ( his character was a certified lunatic).

The OST was not memorable, the production was decent, how it tends to be for newer shows. The story was dragged and maybe the last 6 episodes we not required. The side characters were not very memorable, but there were some good moments with them.

My takeaway from this show is the Siwon could be a great ML, he overshadowed PSJ at times and THAT is saying something as a PSJ fan.
