Loads of cute romantic moments over unnecessary melodrama
I am glad to see that there are more BL stories around office employees than staying with the cliché high school students. That being said, this story deserves more than 8 episodes as it contains all the ingredients of being a good drama. The series in its current format abandoned a lot of plots which have the potential of being fleshed out and what we will get is a well-rounded story about our 2 characters and also their colleagues.
The story is about an intern Seung Hyun working for a cold workaholic boss Kim Jong Chan in an ad company and they start having feelings for each other. The story does not appear out of the box and that is fine because where the story might not be original what was presented to us was wholesome and great.
The series takes its own sweet time to go through how slowly their relationship develops. There are all the right moments of romance, love and passion. Its these tender moments between the 2 characters that is necessary in showcasing that the relationship is moving from simple crush to like to love. There are certainly misunderstandings between the 2 characters and that is resolved by the one thing that other BL series fails to understand and that is communication.
The one gripe that I have with BL series is showing relationships ending because of misunderstandings between the characters caused due to lack of communication. But not in this series. When there is a bit of rift in their relationship they decide to talk to each other and come to a conclusion that they need an opportunity to understand each other better. There are no scenes of any of them behaving unreasonably. Instead, they behave like mature people would and voice their grievances and reach a solution. This was new to me and surprising nonetheless.
As I said before, this story has the potential of being fleshed out well. We do get the backstory of Seung Hyun during his high school times and his crush on a guy but we don’t get to see much about Kim Jong Chan. We just know that he lost multiple relationships to being a workaholic. Chances are with Seung Hyun, this nature of his will not change. So will this impact their relationship in the long run. Also there are certain people in office who dislike Kim but we don’t get a very good explanation as to the reason why.
There are many such minor points that could have been expanded if they had a better runtime but even with the lack of these, the story is rather coherent and the actors did a phenomenal job. Certainly a good watch and easily binge-worthy.
