Woah, what an upgrade from the first series!
WhyNotTV kept the same premise as the first series (the question of should we have an office romance or not). This time around, however, we got bubbly Ji Woo, a manager with strong, reluctant opinions when it comes to dating your colleagues. However, things change once she meets handsome and straightforward Min Woong, who shakes her up and makes her question her own beliefs and vows.
The chemistry between the leads was on an all-time high, it was always fun to watch; if in the first series it felt a bit static, this one took the care to not waste any time lighting up the sparks. The little we saw of their personalities matched well.
However, I'm noticing that WhyNotTV seems to have a bit of a problem when it comes to pacing. Given that it is a webdrama, with 10 episodes, each having around 10 minutes, I can't blame them for wanting, or rather needing to fasten up the plot and the events in order to conclude the series with a "cookie" ending (the type of ending where the last episode feels like a filler one, meant to give lovey-dovey scenes). Timing is essential to me and, as much as I admitted the chemistry to be good, it could've been paced better, it'd be more...realistic and even enjoyable that way. There's not much to say about ost - same goes as for other aspects, such as the script (which was nice, nothing to blow anyone away) and filming (same as the writing).
I watched the whole thing with the feeling I recognized the main female lead (which in fact I did, she was also the main in 2017's My Secret Romance). She's just as beautiful as I remembered! The main lead was also a surprise, as I haven't seen his face anywhere else before. His looks (and height) reminded me of CIX's Hyunsuk. I hope I get to see him around more in the future, he was adorable here. The side characters were also good, just like the absence of the first series' office "drama" when it came to office crushes and romances. This second series took a more adult approach, hence why I liked it best.
