The C-Drama version of Fifty Shades of Grey
I like how the story has been adapted so far to fit the cultural nuances of a C-drama. It retains some of the basic flavour of the original premise while reshaping it enough to feel at home in its new setting.
The acting is good, but the standout for me is the Music. The OST does a lot of the heavy lifting in creating the romantic tension and atmosphere.
Everything else? Same old, same old.
A fresh graduate falls for her cold, seemingly unyielding highly efficient boss, who is secretly head over heels in love with her but is far too emotionally guarded to express it. Throw in a couple of love triangles to stretch the story across more episodes, and you pretty much know what you're getting.
There isn't much here that feels particularly fresh or surprising, but it's not a bad watch either.
If you have time to spare and enjoy this particular brand of emotionally unavailable boss romance genre, this does the job.
