So this drama I started to watch mainly cos of ChunHee (I was going through a little bit of a spree after watching old Family Outing episodes). The whole theme of a dating agency that helps people come together was a very cute idea to me. I saw a lot of potential for this drama and I would be lying if I said it wasn't cute cos it very much was. I enjoyed every client that they went through and how they helped them with their romantic problems. But there were a lot of questioning aspects to this drama. Things that just didn't really make sense. The cast I thought was a little strange. I had recently finished watching A Gentlemen's Dignity before I watched this and thought it was very strange that Lee Jong Hyuk was playing the main lead and Sooyoung was playing the main girl. I couldn't help thinking that their age difference was probably a little too much. Even Chunhee and Sooyoung's age difference was pretty big. No matter how much I looked at it, Sooyoung just looked like a teenager (yes I know she was 20 something at the time) coming in between a bunch of adults. I do wish they had a cast that had a balance in age, whether they found a lead girl around the ages of Chunhee and Jonghyuk or a younger cast to suit Sooyoung, it would've given the drama an even more refreshing sense to it. Hong Jonghyun made me fall in love with him in this drama to be quite honest with you. The acting was good, Chunhee and Jonghyuk played their roles very well. Sooyoung surprised me the most probably, I was unaware that she had gone into the acting world and her acting in this drama was a pleasant surprise for me. She did a very good job for having the pressures of being a main character. I'd definitely be excited to see her in more dramas or movies just to see how much her acting can improve. Jong Hyun's character was pretty stoic which is understandable since he had just started getting into the acting world as well. I enjoyed his storyline, it was a nice thing to watch and take my mind off of the main themes going on. The music was pretty good. I find no complaints in that part. It suited the drama pretty well. Unfortunately I don't think I'd rewatch it. It has a very cute concept to it which I do enjoy, I'm a sucker for those things. However, there were just some things that bothered me too much for me to rewatch.
