Reading comments I was very hesitant to start it despite having wanted to watch it. Still, I eventually gave it a try and boy, am I glad that I did? Sure, it's not the perfect 10/10 drama I always am hoping for but the enjoyment levels were definitely a 10/10 for me.
I was a little unsure if the humor was up my alley at first, but in the end I really found myself cracking up over all the sometimes subtle, often not, sound-effects and edits.
I have nothing bad to say about any of the actors. Yes - one of the co-workers was annoying (to me), but I know this was how her character was supposed to be and in acting, the actress did amazing. The male lead and female lead were both, in my view, perfect in the way they portrayed their characters.
The timeline in which this story takes place isn't long, so the fact that there weren't HUGE character developments wasn't a big deal to me. Because there were plenty of small ones, there where the couple was finding their way around one another. And it was adorable and amusing.
And I am glad that every other storyline was given a form of closure in some way! There are people saying the last episodes were getting draggy/boring. Yes, it was less exciting in a way, but not so much that they weren't enjoyable. I've seen drama's lose all sense of plot but at least here the plot allowed for side stories to wrap up too. I rather see that than a lousy end, honestly.
The OST was, although nothing that stuck with me, very enjoyable for setting the moods and I really liked it.
Oh! And I absolutely loved the cinematics and colors. It was a non-stop pleasure just watching how things had been recorded.
The only thing that I would critisize is what I noticed only /after/ reading other people's comments. The bromance between the male lead and his best friend. It was a lot of one-way and people complained about a missed chance for bromance. To me, the fact they are friends despite the cold demeanor the male lead tends to show, tells me how close their friendship has had to be. And.. honestly - I just didn't take things too seriously. Why overanalyze when it's clear that their complete oppositeness was the humor they intended to bring. I just wish I would have seen a bit more about how they became so befriended. But it's not that big of a deal I guess.
All in all - this drama was very enjoyable. Park Seo Joon's and Park Min Young's acting was superb and I enjoyed them together a lot. It's a perfect drama for some romance and humor, with a bit of mystery when it comes to the past. No evil family-in-law or big-ass drama to try spark things up. Just some basics.
A drama to watch when you want fluff and cute without things being too serious. Nice and light-hearted.
