A remake that should have NEVER been done
Trying to make a remake based on hit show from europe and adapt it to the korena market ? WHY ?whomever had powerful connection should be applauded for their well executed plan of serving the Koreans audience and to some extent the OTT audience below average programming
Ratings dont lie and 6 episodes in ..... its VERY dismal to say the least ...
Save your time and effort ... give this show a skip ..... plenty of other worthy shows to watch from Korea at this very moment.

total waste of money
This was rubbish from the start. The characters were absolutely Soulless, The story had nothing to redeem itself. The Token Gay Guy was a Stereotype and was Over the Top . Sadly the Newly employed Agent had no personality and no credibility at all. She walked and talked like a zombie. The agent dealing with the Star who had been cancelled was an embarrassment to watch. Unlike me I gave up as it was such an insult.Sadly this was a Tragic waste of money and effort. There are many fabulous Asian Dramas. This is not one of them.

Nepotism and unlikeability make this unwatchable for me
I usually am very generous for my dramas, giving at least a good four episode try before passing judgement. However, this, I cannot do. The story is written such that there can be no sympathy for the main girl who is likely the daughter of the director, and thus benefits from all her "serendipitous" events of nepotism, whilst passing critical judgement on her coworkers when she does not know the field, is woefully clumsy and unapologetic when performing a career-ending faux pas disclosing confidential information, and yet slipping by unscathed due to her privilege as she can just slip into daddy's office and benefit from knowing his little secrets. Unless a severe character change is in process (which I highly doubt) , this drama is only serves to sugar coat that nepotism is acceptable for those who suffered (who hasn't?) in their lifetimes or are conventionally cute or whatnot. To echo the other reviewer, the side character stereotypes are disappointing with an exaggerated "metrosexual" agent who has no other personality traits besides materialism and an "ahjumma" agent who is lusting for management. Typical and not appropriate. I had high hopes and was sad to waste more than 3 hours tonight. Yes, 3 hours, as I had to pause multiple times due to how boring this episode was// stopping to rant at my significant other at how trash this show was.Was this review helpful to you?
