Gong Myoung is undeniably the greatest fit for the lead role!

This series surprisingly captivates me and I enjoy watching it.

Story: It has a straightforward narration of the trope "how to hate him/her lovingly", "secret workplace romance", "superior-subordinate romance", "workplace politics", and "one-sided love". I would say the element of humor elevates the story telling making it really fun to watch. It was interesting for me to see how a specific "Audit Department" exists and functions for a large business entity and how essential its role in administering and protecting the set work ethics morally. I love how the story simply resolve each character's conflict by accepting the variables in their lives and making the right decisions that would not merely benefit themselves but the people around them. All in all, the story has a lot of heart in capturing best the emotion, warmth, and sincerity.

Acting/Cast: Shin Hae Sun & Gong Myoung has a slow burning chemistry here. Unlike with other pairings, the moment you see them together, you could instantly see the visual chemistry but, with these two it's totally different. Their chemistry shines and literally explodes during their interactions and performances together in this series. You will love the dynamics of their pre & post relationship scenes that their differences in work status, age, family backgrounds, and convictions work for them favorably. Meanwhile, Kim Jae Wook with whom I'm not used to seeing a weak character role here delivers a satisfying performance too. His laid back, soft and mellow movements shows flawless alignment to what he is portraying. His character might be spineless but he's decent and has a good soul. Lastly, Hong Hwa Yeon, whose character comes into circle from good to bad to good, does an impressive portrayal as well. Her character is annoyingly relatable that heightens the tensions in the story compromising the reputations of the other three lead roles.

Music: This is the area where the series fall short. I really can't recall a background song for this one. Fortunately, the executions, performances, and dialogues make this shortcoming unnoticeable.

Rewatch Value: Yes, a definite option to watch again sometime. I'd love to see how specifically Gong Myoung make me a fan through this. Seeing this will make you want to have a decent, adorable, protective, and charming boyfriend like him in a workplace.
