Admittedly, I only watched this show because I am a fan of Jung Kyung-ho - I have watched Smile, You and Heartless City, and enjoyed his acting in those two shows. I have seen Kim So-yeon in IRIS, but other than that, something about her acting got on my nerves previously.
The central plot in this show and the plot devices are not unique at all, hence my admission that I only watched it for the actors. Fortunately, I did come to enjoy this show quite a bit.
The lead couple has a really cute romance - I’d put that down to the cast and their chemistry. As the show went on, the male villain became more and more villainous for the sake of it, he just eventually became a non-compelling villain. One of the poorer villains around.
One of the more boring aspects of the how is the corporate hijinks, trickery and plotting. Safe to say this show didn’t handle that plot device very well. During those times I got pretty bored and sometimes found myself using too much brainpower trying to understand what was happening in the company. The initial part of the show is cute, but dangerously goes into classic melo territory in the last 4 episodes or so, filled with unspoken misunderstandings and groundless accusations and assumptions, plus huge plot holes that were not properly resolved/explained by the end of the show. Definitely tainted a show that was otherwise enjoyable.
Otherwise, a not-too-draggy watch that was well-paced for 16 episodes.
