This drama started off strong, with a cast with great chemistry and a story line that although not original is still one that is enjoyable to watch. The episodes at 40 minutes long are easy-watching and breeze by quickly. However, around episode 13, the show shifts its romantic focus and instead become more of an office drama dealing with the difficulties and complexities of trying to keep a large corporation afloat, in addition to family drama associated with the pressure of one’s own family owning a company and the pressures that come with that. For me, this was very dull and was not the story that I was intending to watch which was a letdown.

In addition, I feel as though this drama should have been titled The Queen of Shutting Off Phone, or in some cases NOT silencing their phones. In every crucial confession, important, or will they/won’t they romantic scene, the main character’s phone would be either off, or would ring and ruin the moment. This was the writers only way they used to accomplish a distraction, and because of this it was not only infuriating but made the story seem juvenile, unoriginal, and repetitive.

Although some of the actors’ performances were exceptional, it could not save this script and make this drama into a classic. The soundtrack as well was appropriate and fitting to the drama but was not spectacular in and of its own right. Overall, this drama is an okay watch. Highly enjoyable in the beginning only to fizzle out just before the halfway mark. However, if you like the actors in this drama, it may be worth the watch for the chemistry and love story.
