One of my all time favorite kdramas. I know that it has a lot of negative reviews, but I feel like people are just missing the point and this kdrama was actually masterfully done.
First off Junho and Yoona did an amazing job expressing their characters. Both of the main leads’ character growth is very nice, as well as the supporting characters. All of the side characters are so well done too, you rlly end up falling in love with all of them. It was also very refreshing seeing the main leads ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE and not have unnecessary misunderstandings just for the show to have more drama. The problems the characters deal with are actually relatable and realistic. There were the classic kdrama scenes, plot, etc., but they put a refreshing spin on it.. for example:
SLIGHT SPOILER ALERT
Instead of the classic differing social status’s and backgrounds becoming a problem and the female lead running away and giving up because she doesn’t “fit in his world” and all her friends disapproving because of them being from “different worlds”, she actually stands up for herself and the male lead, also her friends are supportive and they all become friends.
Also instead of their work relationship being a problem and her coworkers being jealous and horrible, they are actually supportive as well and she is able to continue her work as normal.
And they did this with so many other stereotypical kdrama plots too, where you are watching it and thinking “oh classic kdrama, I know where they are going with this” and then it turns out completely differently. The female lead doesn’t need the male leads protection from his family or anyone, she is actually a strong woman who is confident and stands up for herself on her own.
Anyways, I highly recommend this drama, I hope you will give it a chance!!
