love strong female leads

Overall I liked this, but it was a little silly at times. Did not totally care much for the whole workplace/family drama, but it had to have a story. One of the things I always laugh about is the clenched fist shot. This drama seemed to have the most of any I have ever seen. Not just the clenched fist, but many shots of hands- folded, rubbing together in times of uncertainty/ anguish, etc...this seems to be a big thing in many dramas, but this one wins the oscar for hand shots.

anyway, back to the substance...I thought the leads had great chemistry, especial hyeok and jun. i kind of hoped that she would have ended up with hoon, but I am ok with the ending. her relationship with both was cute, so i was going back and forth on who should win her. these three pretty much carried the series but i did like the father character- he was pretty much a scoundrel from beginning to end and then going through somewhat of an awakening at the end. reminded me of JR Ewing for anyone old enough to remember the american TV series Dallas. i liked both mothers too, sometimes rare in these types of dramas.

So, there was a good amount of humor, some funny physical scenes and silliness. the romances were very light hearted and fairly tame. a couple of disturbing scenes, including an attempted suicide tried to bring some seriousness to the show. but as i said, the plot itself was not my favorite, but it served the purpose.

But of course, as with most of my shows that i watch, the female lead does it for me. jun was strong and committed, and very pretty. she seemed always to do the right thing, but was vulnerable. she was not afraid to speak her mind. and the flip side- her tender scenes with the leading men were very good. then out of character, her dream sequence of breaking into the office, dressed in leather showed her sexy side as well. such a pretty lady and a great role.
in conclusion, it was an enjoyable watch for me, primarily for the female lead. i am glad to have watched it. now to find the next good drama.
