I honestly liked this drama a lot. It's a very well known cliche - the rich, handsome and powerful protagonist realizes that he can't live without the beautiful, smart girl when she wants to leave his company. When you start watching the drama and seeing the plot development, you realize it's not just that. That's more to the story than we known. And while in other romcoms with this kind of story, the prota usually is very arrogant and treats her pretty badly, in this case he's still arrogant, but doesn't mistreats her, specially when trying to make her stay.

It was a very trending drama while aired, but a lot of people didn't like how the story went. I honestly don't know why. While the last 2 episodes doesn't add anything to it, not in a good or bad way, all the rest of the chapters went really well. The romance is charming - you are always rotting for them, cheering for his ideas, respecting her values, loving the support cast, wanting to know more about how they meet in the first place.

But it's a romcom. As as a romcom it's fantastic. I laughed, I loved, and I would watch again when needed a nice and happy drama, without all the melodrama some romcoms sometimes inserts in the middle of the episodes. And honestly, there's 2 hot scenes that gah! awesome!

The storyline is kinda cheesy for me but it still worth giving a shot. The storyline was nice I wasn't expecting it to be this nice. though it was an easy guessing storyline. I could just tell that what is going to be next to it in the next scene. And as for the main climax, it was epic. I was also confused at first that what's going but thing falls into places as they were going to be.

At first, I was annoyed that the main male character Lee Young Joon is highly narcissistic then I expect. For few starting episodes, I just want him to stop being narcissistic and start thinking about others but anyways he came around. As for the other character, I don't like Bong Se Ra she is just annoying. But actors did their best to show the actual character which given to them.

Music was dead on spot, where it was needed.

Rewatching material.

Overall I loved it.

Rather simple rom-com with surpisingly dark moments, fails to keep up the pace over all episodes

Charming and interesting beginning, it's also nice that they didn't feel the need to take in an overdramatic break-up in the middle, however, the ending episodes therefore are quite slow and dragged out, with the office scenes repeating and nothing new coming. It's especially weird how the two seem extremely secretary-boss like even in the final episodes, their chemistry is there in a form, but the development in their story doesn't always translate to the way they act around each other and in a way it seems like, despite all the hardships they faced, their relationship still is quite shallow and not of much substance.

If you want a hype and straightforward love story I recommend it,the chemistry between two main characters are unique and cute in its own way specially Park Seo Joon's acting is really amazing in every single way.The writing of the drama is quite disappointing because the main plot is rushed and I'm amazed that they could bring more story than the plot itself although a bit of it was kinda dull.The story of what happened in them in their childhood is summarized in just 1 ep and handled quickly that I was not expecting but I appreciate that and I'm amazed how the story is pure,sincere and special How many kissing scene do they have and specially that bed scene that really blows up everyone.I ship every couple in the drama.Summarized of all; the story and the drama itself made me laugh,excited,angry,sad,cry because of the actors did very well delivering it in a way that you can really felt what's going on.I'm really contented with the ending of the story.

I was infatuated with Park Seo Joon after watching him become Mr. Ugly on a variety show (2 days and 1 night). He was so adorable and funny! I also saw that this show was on the list of highest rated show on cable tv so I thought I’d give it a try.

I admit the first ~4 episodes were difficult to watch. A lot of scenes were cringey that I had to walk out in disbelief a few times (Young Joon’s narcissism was over the top and I was wondering how they could possibly develop his character to show that he truly loved Kim Mi So with that kind of personality) ... BUT I had to keep going, thinking “theres a reason its highly rated”.

After the first few episodes, I realized that all those cringey moments were a part of the character development process and for comical relief in the later episodes.

All the actors and actresses were so beautiful and handsome. The chemistry was amazing! I was swooning so much my cheeks hurt! The side romances were also cuuuute!

Trust! This show is worth watching if you’re looking for something light, cute, and fluffy!

Sorpendente

La verdad es que lo terminé hace un par de días pues aunque salió ya hace tiempo no me llamaba mucho la atención su argumento y bueno pasa como con los libros que a veces te guías por las portadas y eso me hizo pensar que podía ser algo pesado que todo estuviera pasando en una oficina y así, pero realmente me ha encantado y la recomiendo mucho para echarse unas risas y también para la gente que les guste los misterios, algo que hace que te enganches mas :)

Aparte sale Chansung de 2PM, el cual no me había dado ni cuenta al ver el elenco y la verdad es que me ha gustado mucho su personaje, hacía mucho que no lo veía actuar, también acabé viendo este dorama debido a Park Seo Joon después de haberlo visto en Itaewon Class que fue el dorama que terminé antes de este y la verdad creo que es de los pocos que si me volvería a ver. ♥

Typical rom-com office drama

Basically, there is nothing special or super interesting in this drama. It was so popular when this drama aired. What makes this drama well-liked? I believe it is because of Park Seo Joon (Lee Young Joon). But sadly, I didn't like his character in this story. I believe that he suits a funny and unserious type of character more.

The first episode was great, but it didn't even last long. I was excited to see Kim Miso (Park Minyoung) out of that company and see her live her life to the fullest, but there is not one episode where she is not in that company. It just gets boring seeing them act like a secretary-boss duo when they are already in a relationship, and because of this I don't feel any chemistry to both of them as a couple. The family of Miso just randomly pops out of nowhere that they don't seem like a family.

What makes this drama a typical rom-com office drama? You know those overly successful narcissistic male leads with the girl he likes who is always beside him and keeps telling her what she should and should not do? A traumatic past experience? The family of the male lead is always awkward with each other because they don't have a good bond either with the parents or one of the siblings, and the list goes on. I could literally enumerate the K-dramas with the same plot.

Overall, I'll just give it a 6/10. Not bad, but not good. The only thing I loved in this drama was Kim Miso's outfits.

This was my 4th kdrama and honestly it raised my spirits after the disappointing Bride of Habaek. The story may have not been a crazily amazing one but honestly it was done well enough to keep me completely interested for a solid 16 episode and wasn't at all a chore to finish. I enjoyed it a lot.

The acting was an A+ from me- an almost star studded cast (of which I didn't know of at the time) and the chemistry between PMY and PSJ was absolutely solid. It made the story become more enjoyable and easier watch although some of it was very cliché.

The side characters and stories were all very cute and didn't feel burdening enough to skip so that was well done.

This was the first I had seen of the main leads and it defo gave me a solid idea of what they could do when I decide to watch any of their future dramas.
