Good story spoiled by a bad storytelling
1/ STORY:
- The Romance: Very fun and refreshing. ML and FL are coworkers. Because of a phenomena, they start to play a game of seduction which is very fun, charming, a bit adult content and demonstrating an incredible chemistry. This is the lovely part of the drama. The SML and the love triangle are annoying. Especially the stunt about FL mistakenly assuming an idea about SML. To me it was badly done and taking the audience for dumb. They should have used more subtility. Not use the SML but another character so FL looks less stupid. Something which suddenly contradicted her previous trait of personality. Also the ending is uselessly draggy with ??! developements between the lead couple even if it is happy ending.
- Thiller part: unexpected because the first part does not give any hint about this kind of development. It is not a bad story but it is badly blended with the office romance. They should have introduced this earlier with some elements via FL's mom or dad or ML to make it intriguing and more acceptable. In the end it feels rushed because it is resolved too fast using flashback easy tricks.
2/ CHARACTER / CAST:
- Cha Min Hoo: middle aged man not really attractive but he is competent, helpful, supportive, fun, charming, mysterious... all the traits to make the FL attracted to him. Never rated Cha Min Hoo but I liked him here.
- Hong Ye Sul: competent working woman in her thirties with a difficult love life until she hooks up with her boss. At first she is fun and smart and daring in the game of seduction but at some point her personality changes like she losses 30 IQ point overnight and she is unable to communicate properly and she makes dumbs moves. Overall she is charming and I liked her. I am more an more impressed by Seo Ji Hye since CLOY and Dinner mate.
- Lee Pil Yo: The ex bf back to take back his soul mate who moved to someone else. Annoying SML with his plans to lure FL back to him but he reveals himself to be a decent guy.
- Oh Ji Young : Annoying younger sister wanna date oppa but finally takes the lot of consolation
- Oh Seung Taek and Ban Ho Woo: fun characters and sidekicks of ML and FL. At first sleeping together buddies and then "do you like me not?" coworkers.
3/ OST:
It was ok. Nothing special.
4/ REWATCHABLE VALUE:
I will not rewatch it.
5/ OVERALL:
Loved the lead couple: cute, charming, mature. Their relationship started in a really refreshing way. But to say it honestly, it took a dive after ep 7 when the FL and ML had their misunderstandings. They resolved them nicely but then the thriller part happened and felt rushed. I am split about this drama. The romance was great. The thriller part failed to entertain me. 7.5/10. Will watch the lead actors' next projects.
