Originally liked, now with caveats: 1 Leah, 1 HCA, 1 Atom, 1 Biblio

Caveats:

Leahaven "recommend(s) it for a viewer who idealizes 2010s dramas." Several side plot parts were "strongly disliked, so it's a recommendation with caveats."

Misogyny/power dynamics may upset/turn off some viewers.

Dated feel

Leahaven says, "High comedy off the top that transformed into a lovely story of two weirdos finding someone to match their freak."

50/50 HCA

Concerns about the pining executive and assistant.

Ash: "Amazing OTP with amazing chemistry."

Caveats:

May not be enough of an office-setting for some. This is definitely a workplace romance though, similar to Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale's workplace setting.

Ash's favorite kdrama: "Their chemistry is bar none."

Caveats:

One recommender mentioned it may not be an office-enough kdrama for viewers. Less time was spent in the office.

Caveats:

May be too officey and not enough romance for some. It is very heavy on the office politics, but also a huge part of the issue stems from the romance.

Caveats:

The romance part might not be enough of a focus for some viewers, though it is definitely there and to a satisfying extent for others. It inspired one watcher to want to watch romance dramas.

"Amazing Drama! So good. Great OTP. Good characters. Tropes turned on their head in the best ways." Ash

Caveats:

May not be officey enough for some. It is definitely a workplace kdrama, though, and there are scenes in ml's office. The office aspect is similar to King the Land.

Very brief, but lame shaming of a heavier set character and self-shaming of a trim character for their own weight. Not important to the main plot. Wish it wasn't in there, but this is a heads up for sensitivities to that.

Caveats:

May not be enough of an office-setting for some. The ml does spend time in the office, but is an idol, so he doesn't technically work in the office, but the office is the entertainment company he is signed with and where the fl works. "The second and fourth couples are absolutely having office romances." Leahaven

There is a threat-of-indecent-exposure scene early on that is played for comedy. It may turn off some viewers.

The portrayal of an African community as well as the ml as a "savior" to them has been criticized by some and found offensive. Some who love the drama ffwd through this part finding it to be expressive of "patronizing racism." - joannanovinswrites

Caveats:

Several watchers noted the romance is not central to the plot, especially after the earliest episode.

There is a cast member who was convicted of a sex crime with a minor. Not the ml.

Caveats:

May not be enough of an office-setting or romance as there is a lot of other things going on: definitely has some office time and romance, but is very much a legal drama.

Low rewatch value
