Could a rom-com be any more perfect!?
I ate this show right up! I don't normally binge-watch anything, but this show had me hooked right from the get-go! To me this drama was pretty much perfect. I really don't have anything to criticise. If you want to immerse yourself in a swoon-sworthy drama then this is the one to watch!
Having finished it just now, I'm still weeping a bit. The ending was perfect! I couldn't ask for more; it's left me feeling wholesome and happy.
There is so much I loved about it! To begin, the characters were just great. Secretary Kim was perfect at her job and Vice Chairman a typical arrogant ass. A great character you say? Yes, although a narcissist is usually a red flag, his character fitted so well for the story. I loved how Vice Chairman's character progressed as his feelings grew for Mi So and he become soft around her. The whole series there were so many cute moments captured between the two. If I listed them all we'd be here for hours!
After working together for nine years, Secretary Kim decides she will resign and Vice Chairman practically goes into shock at the thought of not being able to cope without her by his side. He slowly (and I mean the right amount of slowly) falls in love with her. I mean really he surely must have had this underlying love for her his whole life considering their backstory. So the plot of the show progresses throughout the month that Secretary Kim is preparing before resigning and so Vice Chairman thinks of ways to keep her at his side.
There is a dark past that haunts the pair, and also involves a confusion of memories between Vice Chairman and his older brother. Every time it flashed back to when they were little I got confused because as the viewer, I was like, yes that's Vice Chairman; but then all the characters were saying it was his older brother. Once this confusion was cleared I was glad because it left me bazzled!
I thought it was soooo sweet when Vice Chairman was beside Mi So in hospital and telling her all that he remembered whilst she was asleep. The fact that he remembered her and knew who she was when she applied for the job was so beautiful. When it flashed back to the work drinks where he sat beside her and asked if she knew who he was Ahhh!! He was asking her because HE remembered HER! This was just too cute!
The children who played the characters' younger selves were so adorable and did a really good job for their parts. The fact that Mi So wanted him to promise that he would marry her was just too much for my heart!
In this drama I actually really enjoyed the shared amount of screen time for the other couples in the show. Chief Secretary Bong was always hilarious. Ji-Ah was so innocent and sweet, and even though I didn't like the guy she fell for, I was still happy how the show ended with them together.
Towards the end of the final episode where Mi So is there with her sisters and they are talking about their Mum made me sad.
I don't know if I normally talk about music in TV shows, but the backing track to this was so soothing and sweet. The simple piano melody fitted so well at each romantic moment between the pair. My heart literally swooned each time.
I will definitely watch again at some stage as it was just so light and happy! Exactly something you need to escape from reality. I think it is a really great rom-com to immerse yourself in if you're feeling a bit down and need some light in your life.
I can only hope to find more dramas like this one!
