This is similar to Gank Your Heart or Go Go Squid. It’s a romantic comedy with a sports theme. But
it’s centered more around the students lives than the sports. There are about 5 couples in total and the second lead couple get a lot of screen time. In the beginning when the male lead bullies the female lead it’s a bit irritating. But the saving grace is that the female lead doesn’t cower away and look all pitiful. She’s strong and sassy and fights back. Their battle of wits is compelling and the sparks fly because their chemistry is what makes this drama shine. Expect lots of kisses and skinship.

I liked that I found myself laughing out loud quite often. It’s a true romantic comedy. It starts out with a bit of angst in the first 7 or so episodes and then it turns very sweet light and fluffy. But then during the middle as they set up the backstory for all of the couples and their issues it bogs down and gets a bit draggy. What saves the drama during this time is the chemistry and storyline of the main leads. Then when you’re tired of all the couples and even the main leads story gets a bit stale, then bang, the angst hits around episode 26. I was really expecting solid angst till the last bit of the last episode which has been typical in Chinese dramas lately. But surprisingly it lightened up way before then and was quite enjoyable. I like the motto of the drama which was repeated frequently throughout the last few episodes This drama teaches us that dreams don’t shine. What shines is you who’s chasing after the dream. And it doesn’t matter what dream you’re chasing. Whether you’re chasing a dream to be a world champion or to be an ordinary teacher or coach, what matters is that you chase after whatever dream makes you happy. Just be happy and do what you love and stay true to yourself.

I liked that this drama had tons of character growth. I also liked the sassy female lead that always stood up for herself. I wished that there was less time spent on side couples and more time spent on the competitive sports. And there were too many sports that were covered. It jumped from one characters figures skating issues to another characters speed skating issues to another’s issues with ice hockey. If they had just focused on one main sport like Go Go Squid did then the story would have been more cohesive and interesting. With all of the side couples and multiple sports to follow the story seemed to bounce around a lot and lose its focus. But by the end of the drama everything tied in together and the main theme of following your dreams regardless of how big or small they are began to shine through. At this point I began to understand the point this drama was trying to make and I really liked it.

Overall, despite the dramas various flaws, I really liked it and what it was trying to say. I also liked how they included the names and pictures of various Chinese athletes and paid tribute to them at the end of the drama. It was quite touching. This drama wasn’t perfect, it certainly had its flaws. But I walked away with a warm fuzzy feeling. Don’t be intimidated by the 40 episodes either. After taking away the beginning and ending credits each episode is less than 40 minutes long. So the 40 episodes fly by quickly. This is a good drama that I’m glad I watched.

One of the funniest dramas I’ve ever watched!

So many people give this drama low ratings because it focuses too much on comedy and romance and not enough on story depth or action. Well let me tell you something guys, that’s what a true romantic comedy is supposed to do. Romcoms are supposed to be focused on romance and comedy. The backstory, underlying meaning of things, character growth, and plot always takes second place to the romance and comedy in a romcom. That’s not to say the drama doesn’t have any depth or good plot lines, it does. It’s just that it’s not the main focus of the drama.

I like that this romcom stays a romcom throughout and never gets too melodramatic or angsty as most dramas do. Yes there are sad parts where I cried, and there was some angst towards the end. But you need a little of that to pull you in and get you invested in the drama. But it never gets too angsty and the comedy is sprinkled throughout the drama to lighten the mood.

One thing about the comedy is that it’s very physical with lots of bathroom humor. It’s not a subtle type of comedy but rather a very silly slapstick style comedy which is not everyone’s cup of tea. You either love it or hate it. I personally found it to be one of the funniest dramas I’ve ever seen. And I’ve watched hundreds of dramas.

I also loved the female leads relationship with her brothers. Her protective big brothers touched my heart and how they all looked out for each other and put each other first was heart warming. But be warned the female lead stands up for herself and is very physical with the people that mess with her. I personally loved her sassiness which she pulled off brilliantly. But some people may not like her strong physical personality.

The male lead is aggressive and tough one minute then a silly little puppy the next minute. Not many actors can play such a diverse character but this guy does it flawlessly.

There is a gay storyline and it’s done very tastefully. I like that neither of the men were portrayed as the typical silly effeminate gay character you see in most dramas. They were very normal everyday guys that were trying to cope with their circumstances. None of the scenes made me feel uncomfortable or awkward. Other dramas could learn a lesson from them. I loved the gay storyline. It was original, sweet, very normal and believable.

If you’re looking for a good romantic comedy then look no further. This is one of the best out there. If you’re usually very focused on depth of plot, action, and want lots of twists and turns then this is not the drama for you.

Season 2 is not a continuation of season 1 so you don’t have to watch the first one to see this one. But they do make lots of cute references to the first one which enhances your appreciation of it. When the male lead mentioned putting away the female leads medical report because they wouldn’t need it after all, I loved it! In season 2 it’s the same cast but they're in a different world. It’s like seeing what would have happened had they lived in another world and had made different choices. I like that they bring back the male leads sweet grandma and the cute little white dog.
In season 2 the antagonists are different and honestly speaking they aren’t very bad or scary. I like that there’s no evil crazy girl that’s obsessed with the male lead. I honestly hated that in season 1. But with that being said, with no really overly evil person and no other underlying issues to deal with, the story seemed to lack depth.
The acting was top notch. And the two side couples get a lot more screen time than they did in the first season. All of the skinship, real kisses, chemistry, and romance more than made up for the negatives in this drama. It’s a light, fluffy, sweet romance drama that’s very easy to watch. I would definitely recommend it.

Great plot with a steamy romance

This is one of the rare dramas that I actually rewatched several times. And I’ve watched hundreds of dramas so that’s saying a lot for me. If you like dramas where the male chases the female first, there’s a contract marriage, there’s lots of real kisses, lots of skinship, the leads spend a lot of time together as a couple, and romance is the central focus then you’ll love this one.

As for the storyline, it was pretty interesting. There are car chases, kidnappings, hidden identities, and lots of twists and turns that keep things interesting. And there are a couple of cute side couples too. The female childhood friend that was obsessed with the male lead was very annoying and cliche but at least the male lead never waivers over her or falls for her games. I was pleasantly surprised when they didn’t keep her as the main villain of the drama but switched to a much better more convincing one halfway through. It definitely made things more interesting. The second male lead is the cutest little puppy that stole my heart and almost gave me second lead syndrome. I like that they gave him a happy ending and didn’t leave him all alone and pathetic. I loved his loyalty to his best friend and their great bromance. There’s lots of character growth here too, especially for the male lead.

There aren’t too many things I didn’t like about this drama. But it did have a few cliche drama tropes like amnesia, the stereotypical obsessed female friend that won’t take no for an answer, and a wealthy CEO paired with a poor girl that’s down on her luck. But you see these things in just about all of the dramas nowadays so they really can’t be avoided. And this drama handles them very well and even puts a fresh new twist on them.

The one thing that bothers many people is that in the beginning the male lead tells a big whopper of a lie to the female lead. And he continues with that lie for quite some time until he’s found out. I’m not usually okay with that type of behavior but in this instance it’s understandable given his upbringing. His mother abandoned him and left him to deal with his overbearing, cold, domineering father when he was only 8. And that man made sure that work was the central focus of his life. So when the main leads meet he has no life outside of his work (as a CEO) because of how he was raised. No hobbies, no social life, no friends, nothing. All he knows is work which usually entails hostile takeovers, buyouts, acquisitions etc. He treats his personal life just like work because that’s all he knows. So it made sense that his character would approach his love life in a cold calculating manner just like a businessman would. Seeing his character grow and change was a joy to watch.

Overall this drama is a romantic comedy with a little melodrama and angst thrown in on the side. But the angst and sad parts aren’t drawn out for too long. I like that things get resolved fairly quickly. It’s mostly just a really steamy, sweet, cute drama that focuses heavily on romance. So if you like really deep, heavy, sad, or tragic dramas this will not be the drama for you. But if you like really romantic dramas that are funny and cute with a pretty good plot then you will love this drama. As for me I would highly recommend it.

I loved all of the breathtaking outdoor scenes!

This drama is full of your usual cliche drama tropes. A rich arrogant chaebol goes undercover as a rescuer in a rustic country town and falls for a sweet innocent local doctor. And of course they’re forced to cohabitate. Then there’s also the cliche trauma in the past they both suffer from but can’t remember. What saves this drama is the talent of the two lead actors, their romance, and the amazing outdoor scenery.

The two lead actors have some amazing chemistry with real kisses and lots of skinship. They do this romance right by not going too fast nor too slow. They slowly get to know one another and bond over their tragic pasts with their families. But along the way there’s lots of moments where you can feel the sparks.

Then there’s the lush green valleys, rolling hills, picturesque mountains, and clear streams that tons of the scenes are filmed in. The beautiful outdoor settings for this drama breathes life into it and really sets it apart. I loved the parts where they ride bikes through the beautiful trees and lush foliage. And they did a lot of that.

But not everything about this drama is good. The editing, especially in the beginning, was kind of choppy. In one scene it goes from rescuing someone on a mountain, to treating a patient in a helicopter, to suddenly being in the hospitals ER operating on some random patient. And all of this happened in about the span of 5 minutes. I was so confused I had to go back and look at it again to figure out what happened. But fortunately the editing improved vastly after that. Also, they tease the lost memory thing for way too long. And they don’t give you enough information about the lost memories and childhood trauma to keep your interest going. So about halfway through the drama I lost some of my excitement about it. Fortunately, if you can get past the slow part in the middle, the last 10-12 episodes get more interesting as time goes by. And since the episodes are only 30 minutes each it wasn’t too hard to push through and get to the good parts. So hang in there, it does get much better. And it’s definitely worth watching. There are car chases, kidnappings, pretty good fight scenes, and lots of political intrigue. And then all of the past memories resurface which is pretty interesting too.

I like that there was no annoying love triangle. And the side couple was really cute. Overall it’s a good drama. It won’t be in my top ten but it’s not at the bottom with the worst ones either. It’s just a pretty decent drama that I’m glad I watched. I would recommend watching it.

Season 2 has a new cast due to Chinese laws at the time that banned Korean actors in China. And in the beginning there was a racial joke that’s offensive but that’s been removed. So due to these two factors the drama has been given some low ratings. I think it’s unfair because the actors shouldn’t be blamed for the laws in China or a bad joke written into their scripts. A lot of people never gave the new actors a chance because they were really attached to season 1’s actors. But if you go into it with an open mind then you will really like this drama. It still has a very deep story with lots of action and mystery.
In season 2 the male lead has realized that leaving the female lead was a mistake. He thought she would be happier without him but she’s absolutely miserable. So now he’s a lot sweeter and kinder to her after realizing his mistake. The female lead on the other hand, is very resentful and doesn’t trust the male lead. So she is stronger, more assertive, and pushes the male lead away. So we see the two main leads being very opposite of what they were in season 1.
Some may point to this and say season 1 is nothing like season 2. I beg to differ. As most dramas progress, doesn’t the arrogant male lead soften up and become nicer? And doesn’t the female lead start to stand up for herself and be more assertive after a while? It’s called character growth. Season 2 is basically just the second half of the whole drama. And we are seeing the actors changing because they’ve grown emotionally. I personally think they did a great job on this drama. I loved everyone in the drama, especially the side couple. It’s rare for me but I’ve finally had second lead syndrome.
I like that in season 2 there are more mutant humans and we get to hear about how they came to be. This drama is every bit as good as season 1. There’s lots of romance with kisses, hugs, and skinship. And the story still has the depth and intrigue that the first season had. I would definitely recommend watching this one.

The storyline on this drama is quite unique. A mutant human and an actress end up as room mates. From the synopsis you would think this is a silly sci-fi drama that’s not very believable or relatable. But it’s actually got a really deep story that has lots of twists and turns. There’s some pretty good comedy, lots of action, there’s mystery, suspense, and romance. It’s well told and the acting is really good. There’s some cute characters and side couples. It kept me guessing who the bad guy was for quite some time but I figured out who it was before it was revealed. It’s a shocker for sure. I really enjoyed unraveling the mysteries. It’s not a slow drama by any means. There’s kidnappings, lots of action, and fighting scenes. It really keeps you on your toes. And the romance is very sweet but not over the top cheesy like some dramas. The ending is a bit open ended. I would recommend watching season 2 to see how things are concluded It’s also an excellent drama.

When I first read the synopsis I thought this would be a melodrama that’s very deep and sad with lots of angst. Any drama dealing with mental health issues would definitely have lots of that. Though it does have some of that, what surprised me was how funny it was. When the male leads (Ji Sung) 17 year old female personality (Yo Na) chases after the female leads (Hwang Jung Eum) brother (Park Seo Joon) it is super funny. I mean the male leads portrayal of a hormonal 17 year old girl that’s boy crazy is absolutely hilarious. I liked how this drama touched on sad subjects but then lightened the mood with really great comedy. And there’s more than just comedy. It’s a very action filled drama too so things never get boring. In the first 3 episodes they fight gangsters and blow up buildings. As the drama continues there’s kidnappings, fight scenes, and a character that likes to make bombs and blow things up for fun. The comedy and constant action kept this drama from being too deep and sad. It made it fun to watch with never a boring moment. And the romance is very sweet with real kisses which is always a bonus.
I don’t really have much bad to say about it except that the female leads voice is a bit too high pitched for me when she screams. In the first few episodes she does a lot of screaming and it’s really annoying. Thankfully she doesn’t scream as much in the later episodes. But her crying scenes are a bit loud and go on for too long in the last few episodes. But overall she did a great job on her acting. And Ji Sung did the best acting of his career in this drama. I don’t normally rewatch dramas but I’ve rewatched this one twice. The story and acting is absolutely amazing.

A romantic supernatural thriller done right

After watching hundreds of dramas I finally went back to one of my first dramas to see if it really was as good as I remembered it. It was! It’s now 2020 and this drama from 2013 is still quite fresh and surprisingly modern. The clothes are quite nice and the cinematography is really good. I can’t believe it’s an older drama.

The female lead can see ghosts which terrifies her. And the male lead is the only person who has ever been able to get rid of them for her by her just touching him. I know the storyline seems a bit unbelievable and very cliche. But the acting is extremely good. And the underlying message of accepting yourself and being the best you can be under your circumstances comes through brilliantly.

I like that the second male lead is nice and never creates trouble. And the cute clumsy second female lead isn’t too bad either. The drama is driven by the different stories involving helping various ghosts, figuring out the culprit behind the male leads childhood kidnapping, and the female lead dealing with her ability to see ghosts. There’s just a tad bit of office politics and family issues but it doesn’t take center stage. There's angst but not too much, there’s sadness but not for long, there’s several cute couples, and there’s lots of cute romantic moments.

Its not a super deep melodrama, nor is it a romcom. It’s a romance driven drama with lots of supernatural stuff, a kidnapping/murder mystery and it has lots of character growth. Overall it’s an enjoyable watch with a good romance and an interesting plot. I’d definitely recommend it.

Amazing chemistry & original storyline makes this one stand out

The storyline:
The storyline is very original and refreshing. I’ve never seen a drama that had one of the main leads be obsessed with an idol and make that one of the focal points of the drama. But this drama does it and it does it really well. The female leads whole family has OCD but their obsessions are how they deal with a past trauma. So the story is much deeper than it looks like from reading the synopsis. It’s a light feel good drama that touches on some deeper subjects like child abandonment, loss of a child/sibling and OCD without getting too deep and angsty. It delves into those subjects enough to peak your interest and make you want to watch more but it doesn’t make you too sad or upset. It also delves into the world of art and museums as the main leads work together at a museum. So I liked that they gave us a very unique work setting that I hadn’t seen before which was enjoyable.

The acting:
There’s some really good acting here. You can’t help but love the female leads quirky best friend and their crazy relationship. The idol in the drama is just too adorable and pulls off the cute little puppy look perfectly. I wasn’t crazy about the owner of the museum, her acting didn’t impress me. But the main leads steal the show with their acting skills. Overall I’d say the acting in this drama is way above average.

The romance:
The chemistry is on point with this one. If you liked “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim” then you’ll love this drama. It has the same female lead and this girl knows how to do an onscreen kiss right. She sizzles here as does the male lead. It has lots of real kisses and skinship too. There is a slight love triangle. I say slight because it’s one sided for the second male lead. But fortunately, the main leads only see each other.

What really makes this drama shine is how it could touch on some deeper sadder subjects then pull us out of the sad moments and right into something that would make us smile or laugh so seamlessly. I like that the comedy and touching romantic moments were interwoven throughout the angst ridden moments so that things didn’t get too anxious or upsetting. It’s definitely a sweet romcom but it goes deeper than expected and touches your heart. This drama has everything. It’s funny, very romantic, sad, thought provoking, sexy, and cute. It takes you through a range of emotions but leaves you feeling happy and satisfied. I liked learning about idol fans and seeing things through their eyes. I also liked the unique work setting and learned a lot about art and museums. But what I liked best is how this drama touches your heart and makes you want to go back and watch it all over again.

Original storyline, great romance, & terrific comedy

I didn’t watch this drama until 2020 because I didn’t like the storyline. But after seeing Hyun Bin in “Crash Landing On You” I wanted to see more dramas with him in it. He’s such an amazing actor with great visuals. I was worried that everything would look old and outdated or the cinematography and special effects would be really bad. I have to say that the clothes, cars, and scenery looked very modern and fresh. And the cinematography was great. If someone told me it was a 10 year old drama I wouldn’t have believed them. Don’t let the age of the drama hold you back.

At first glance it looks like a typical rich CEO falls for a poor working girl type of drama that we’ve all seen tons of times. But the soul swapping along with great action scenes from the female lead as a stuntwoman gives it a nice twist to the usual story. And then finding out that there’s a deep underlying meaning to the soul swapping makes it even more interesting. I also like that the female lead is a badass instead of some weak woman that always needs to be saved. The male lead is strong and never waivers in his determination to be with the female lead. I’m always a sucker for a guy that knows what he wants. And the comedy was really good. When they soul swap it was absolutely hilarious. Seeing him try to figure out a bra just killed me.

Some people might be turned off by the male leads behavior towards the female lead in the beginning. He would say rude condescending things towards the female lead about her being poor or living in a shabby place. But then he would say she was even prettier when she was angry. Or he would tell her how cool she was because she was a badass. The male lead is trying to understand why he is so obsessed with her so he waivers between insulting her and then treating her really nice. And every time something bad happens he moves heaven and earth to fix things for her. I enjoyed watching him come to terms with his feelings for her. The romance moved at a normal pace and was very believable.

Overall this drama takes a cliche storyline and breathes new life into it with original ideas like the female lead being a badass stuntwoman. Or like having them swap souls or having the secret garden where mysterious things happen. It’s a really good drama all kdrama lovers should watch. There’s a great romance with real kisses, cute side couples, lots of eye candy (did I mention Lee Jong Suk cameo’s in it?), great comedy, family drama, office politics, and a great bromance. There’s angst and melodrama and sadness but not of it goes too far. I hate dramas that stretch the sad or angsty parts out for several episodes or has over the top evil characters. None of these characters are overly evil (as in trying to kill someone or ruin them) though the male leads mom is awful the whole time but she’s not evil. There’s sad touching parts but they aren’t sad for too long. I really like how balanced this drama is. It has a little bit of everything in a very balanced way and the acting is top notch. Stop reading reviews and just watch it. You won’t regret it!

Be careful with which male lead you root for because this drama really hyped up the second male lead and portrays him as almost perfect. It’s hard to not fall for his noble idiocy and amazing visuals. But don’t let that hold you back. It’s a pretty good drama. But first just let me say that some of you might find this review a little bit of a spoiler but in the synopsis it states that one of the male leads rejects her. So my analysis below of the love triangle shouldn’t be too much of a spoiler.

That being said, I completely agree with the female leads choice. The second male lead would do sweet things like personally handcraft jade earrings for her then push her away and reject her confession. Then he would again do things like buy her carrier pigeons to send notes to her or handcraft a flute for her but then again reject her. This went on for 3 years and the female lead was in constant emotional turmoil, often crying. Even though the second male lead rejected her for a noble reason, he should have drawn a line and made it clear he wanted to only be friends. But instead he chose to leave things very ambiguous and let her think they might be together. He lead her on and hurt her a lot for a long time.
But all along her ray of sunshine, the main male lead, would always appear to take her out to play and cheer her up. He supported her decision even though he loved her and never abandoned her despite her poor treatment of him. His devotion to her and their cute little arguments when he teased her was adorable. I was happy with her choice.

But then comes along the second male lead to start pursuing her and putting her into turmoil again. And again she’s crying over and over again because of him. She feels guilty towards him every time he does something nice for her which happens all the time. But it’s obvious that she’s now very much in love with the main male lead. But second lead just won’t let go which hurts both of them a lot.

Then comes along a lot of political intrigue and family drama. The palace drama gets pretty intense. What this drama teaches is that love doesn’t wait forever. And if someone leads you on or expects you to wait for them they may miss out. And finding the right person has a lot to do with timing and meeting the right person at the right time. It also teaches that letting go of the past with all of its hatred and moving on with your life is the only way to find true happiness.

In the beginning this drama reminded me a lot of The Story of Minglan. The love triangle was very similar in that the female lead starts out liking the second male lead first then later realizes that the main male lead is her true love. So if you like this one definitely go watch Minglan because not only is it similar but it’s better.
Overall, I liked this drama. It started out very sweet and cute. It got even cuter with lots of kisses and skinship. But towards the end it became very angsty with lots of sadness. The main leads have a happy ending and all of the loose ends are tied up. But it was hard to be happy for them when everyone around them suffered so much. And seeing that the bad guys got away with everything they did and even prospered while a lot of the good guys suffered or even died just killed me. My happiness for the main leads was dampened by all of this. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good drama, but it’s just a little too melodramatic and sad at the ending for me.

This will always be in my top 10 favorites

I’ve watched hundreds of dramas including Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and Korean dramas. Despite watching so many Asian dramas this is still in my top ten favorites. It’s an amazing show well worth watching.

This is a melodrama with a little bit of everything. There’s an epic romance, great comedy, political intrigue, warring gods, and excellent fighting scenes. The cinematography is really good. And I like that the female lead is a badass that can hold her own. It’s refreshing to see a female lead that’s not only strong and confident but super clever too. She single handedly defeats a very powerful god that few others could fight. And the male lead is one of my all time favorite male leads. He’s handsome, powerful, unselfish, and extremely loyal. This drama has a fair amount of angst but the sweetness of the romance, the depth of the story, the phenomenal acting, and the beautiful ending that ties up all the loose ends make it all worth it.

The love story of the main leads is what really drives this drama. I love that the male lead never waivers in his feelings for the female lead and will do anything for her. He never, even for a minute, gives up on her and is very open with his affection. I love how he tossed her over his shoulder and took her to their room when his strength and virility is questioned. And the numerous kisses are swoon worthy. There’s lots of skinship and sweet romantic moments too. Theirs is one of my all time favorite romances.

Another strength of this drama is the really great side characters. From the sweet little boy named Ali who just wants to find his mom, to the mischievous nine tailed fox Feng Jiu who valiantly pursues true love , to the powerful god Mo Yuan and his unrequited love, the side characters have so much depth and growth.

I normally don’t watch really long dramas but this one is so worth it. And I don’t rewatch dramas but I’ve rewatched this one several times. All of the side characters are interesting and there are cute side couples. This drama never has a dull moment. If I had to complain, it would be about the male leads adopted sister and her crazy obsession with him. But honestly, she should win an award for her acting. She really pulls you into her crazy head and does a great job of making you hate her.

Overall I’d say don’t pass this one up. Yes it’s long and yes it’s angsty and melodramatic which is not usually my cup of tea. I don’t like dramas that make me cry or get really upset. I usually prefer light sweet funny romcoms. But this drama is just too good to pass up. I’ll go back and get angry and cry because the romance is so touching and the side characters are so endearing that it’s worth it.

Short sweet and refreshing

This is one of those dramas that has every cliche that’s ever been in a drama. The male lead is a cold 30 year old rich CEO and the female lead is a very shy insecure virginal college student. All of the women want to be with the male lead. And of course all of the men want the female lead. So why am I giving it such a high rating? Why do I like it so much? It’s just so sweet fluffy and romantic. And I’ve never seen an Asian drama show so much skin in a drama. I mean it’s like a toned down version of “50 Shades of Grey.” I’m a sucker for a really romantic drama that has the romance heat up quickly. It’s just so rare and it’s soooo sweet. Very little angst and lots of sweet moments. I like how she’s always sitting on the floor curled up at his feet. And I like how he always runs up and gives her back hugs all the time. This is my go to drama after watching a really heavy angsty drama. It’s light sweet tone is really refreshing. And with only 10 episodes it’s a quick easy watch. It’s definitely not for everyone. But it’s my guilty pleasure.

This is a boss and employee drama between a shy insecure girl and a confident take control type of guy. I’m not crazy about female leads that are weak and shy but this girl has tons of character growth. She starts out feeling inferior to the male lead which leads her to make some poor decisions. But she really becomes very strong and confident as the show progresses. I like that once he starts to like her he never waivers in his feelings for her. And he’s very protective of her. There’s not really a love triangle because the male lead never gives the second female lead a chance. He tolerates her behavior only because they grew up together and she’s like family. But the second female lead is really annoying in her behavior. There’s a little bit of everything. There’s comedy, romance, family drama, and office politics. I really liked the romance aspect of it as there’s lots of skinship and kisses. I also like that the drama doesn’t end after the male lead and female lead get together. I really prefer dramas where you get to see their lives together after they’re together.
The main drawbacks of this drama is the very annoying second female lead that goes too far. And the female lead is annoyingly timid and shy in the beginning but thankfully she gets a backbone and starts to stand up for herself as the drama progresses. But it’s a little bothersome in the beginning because you want to shake her and tell her to speak up for herself.
Overall this drama is really good and I highly recommend it for those who are looking for a sweet romance driven drama with lots of skinship and kisses. If you’re into action packed dramas with deep plots then this is not for you.
