Honestly, I was actually looking forward to this drama because the main character has my job, haha! This drama was......difficult to swallow. At least, for me. I personally think that characters are everything in any kind of story. I think as long as you have great characters with a good amount of depth and development to them, then a simple story can be spectacular. This is the main reason I really disliked this drama. Personally, the characters fell so flat that they would put paper to shame.

KIM MI-SO: Her character was okay......and that's it. But as a main character, being just okay won't cut it and unfortunately, Mi-So had no dimension what so ever. Secretaries are often traited as perfect, detail-oriented, and vigilant of their duties. I get that, and it's fine to put those same qualities towards Mi-So's character, but add something else in that doesn't have to do with her job. A quirk. A weird hobby. Maybe she dances weird but loves dancing anyways. Something to make her stand out from her perfect cookie-cutter frame. Stereotypes are boring because they're predictable, and so was Ni-So, unfortunately.

LEE YEONG JOON: ....................I can't. I just can't. I'm all for a quirky, eccentric character because it makes for an interesting character, but this..........was just way too much. It was almost cartoonish and super unbelievable in terms of narcissism. If you're going to make a wacky, odd character, do it in a believable way. Don't just be crazy for the SAKE of crazy. It's boring and uninteresting. This character was the worst of them all.

ACTING/CAST: I think that Seo Joon Park has good potential to be a good actor but he might have to choose more challenging roles that expand his acting skills. Maybe this role was to put into practice his comedic, light-hearted skills. Unfortunately, the character he played is absolutely ridiculous.

Min Young Park isn't my favorite actress. I personally don't really like her acting. That's just my own opinion. Could be different for others, but overall, I don't think her acting is horrible. I just think her acting skills always falls flat somewhere.

STORY: Eh. It's nothing special really. I figure that 90% of viewers can guess the rest of the story line from the 3rd episode.

MUSIC: I'm not picky about music. It was okay. Standard drama music.

OVERALL: If you don't mind the odd and eccentric moments, and over the top characters and fluff, then you might find this entertaining. This is a typical teen rom-com kind of drama that appeals to younger crowds 18 and under.

If you're looking for something a little more realistic, in terms of characters and storyline then you might want to check out something else, because this isn't really it.
