I have only been watching Korean dramas for about a year, but many of the dramas I have watched recently, have frequently disappointed me in their final episode. I mostly look for romantic comedies or dramas, but with a few laughs. I am not expecting laugh out loud or silly comedy, but a good smile to keep my spirits up. I decided to seek out recommendations for romantic dramas with happy endings, and this was one of those. Despite being an older drama which I rarely watch, I decided to give it a try, and I’m glad I did. This drama was like a close friend or a pair of warm, comfortable slippers. There were no real surprises. I liked that there were no murderous or really nasty villains that we often see. The villains were more comical than evil and their ‘punishments’ were slight.

This ticked almost all the boxes, but I am nitpicking here.

What music there was was okay. If not particularly memorable.

The storyline is your typical workplace, poor girl meets chaebol, romantic comedy. There is nothing new here that we haven’t see many times. Many of the actors are easily recognizable from many other dramas but despite the predictability of the storyline they give it their full effort and make many genuinely funny moments. I do not have even the slightest complaint about any of the actors.

There were two minor letdowns for me. Firstly that the romantic outcomes for ALL the characters by the final episode could have been better developed. Also, the punching and kicking from the lead female was a little repetitive after a while, but I have to stress the word ‘little’ as this did not affect, in any way, my enjoyment of the show or her character.

I wish there were more dramas like this.
