I agree with you, the drama feels really flat like not much is happening and they have to go for manufactured drama. Huge disappointment because I love Seo In Guk and I find his character refreshing (man falls in love with woman because she's an engineering geek who's passionate about her job, love that). But I don't see the chemistry between the leads and her behavior in ep 6 was incredibly unprofessional and immature. I don't like a character who thoughtlessly causes problems for her whole team just because she's struggling with her feelings.

Actually I think I'm going to drop after episode 6. Sorry SIG, I love you and I hope to get to see you in a drama I like better than this one.

I agree with you, I really disliked her for making things so incredibly uncomfortable for her teammates. We basically watched her throw an hour long tantrum. If he had any sense, her behavior would've killed his feelings for her.

His range is huge, he made Shopping King Louie and The Smile Has Left Your Eyes back to back and those dramas are like the opposite of each other. He also played a sociopath prisoner in Project Wolfhunting. He's legit a great actor but I don't think he gets enough credit for it. He's never had a straight path in his career.

I thought it was ridiculous. She's been set up as someone who's passionate about her work so why would she do something so crazy just because she has a crush on the team lead? Especially because he's been a dream boss, giving her interesting work and putting her on stage in front of the higher ups so she can get their attention and shine.

Right now the task force is her job. She's quitting the best opportunity she's ever had at that company with a boss who treats her respectfully because he's planning on moving to New York? When they're not even dating? It's very contrived, especially since she's been established as someone who really cares about doing good work.

That so-called problem annoyed the hell out of me. They are both in their 30s with the communication skills of teenagers.

I feel the same way so I finally decided to drop. There's no plot and the barriers to them dating feel very contrived. A 30-something woman decides to quit her job without discussing it with anyone because she found out her boss is planning on returning to NY? it's all so tedious and boring.

I also thought it was weird having both female leads pass out like that.

Ep 4: I have such mixed feelings about this drama. I like the chemistry between them and I love that his love language is boosting her at work and making sure her talent is recognized. But the editing is very strange, there are jumps between scenes that don't make a lot of sense and there isn't much of a plot. There's not really any reason for them not to date each other except she's reporting to him but it seems like the task force is temporary so they could date after the project is completed.

Also I have zero interest in the 2FL's story. Do not care at all.

Her father being the ML's mentor was predictable and cheesy.

The scene with her period cramps was very strange too. She was delirious from pain to the point of thinking it was her ex in her apartment instead of the ML. If she knows she has cramps that bad, she should've made sure she had her meds or gone out and bought some once she realize she'd left them home or left early and worked from home to get her meds and prepare for the presentation. The whole thing was dumb. I guess it was an excuse for the ML to take care of her but ehhhhhh it didn't really work for me.

I did love their lunch after the presentation where he makes sure she eats healthy food and doesn't take her meds on an empty stomach. The best moments of the drama are always when the leads are working together or sharing a meal.

Overall, this is still a little flat for me and I'm only sticking around because of Seo In Guk and how his character is written. The FL is alright. The plot is a big nothing.

My problem isn't with her behaving that way, my problem is that we've just been introduced to the character, I don't know much about her and I don't understand why she's like this. I don't feel any sympathy for her and I'm not sure what we're supposed to take away from these scenes.

My favorite part of the show so far was in ep 2 when Kang Si U tells Ji Yoon about all the times he observed her being excited about product design and when she reads his notes in her diary and cries. In comparison ep 3 felt pretty flat. I didn't feel the chemistry between the leads that I felt when he was pursuing her to join his project and I'm bored to death by the scenes with her ex. I want to like this show and I love SIG but something is missing.

Both female leads seem very immature to me. FL1 is too much of a people pleaser and too worried about upsetting people. She'll only speak up if she's protecting someone else but she won't do it for herself. Meanwhile FL2 is clingy and dependent and expects her partner to make up for her lack of self-esteem.

You need to watch the first two episodes to understand where the drama is going, the first episode is a bit misleading

oh too bad they didn't cast someone who has a more realistic body weight but in Korea it's almost impossible to find an actress who would be willing to put on weight for a role

I really like it! Seo In Guk looks like a snack and I like that he's attracted to the FL because she's smart and passionate about product design. It's not the usual love at first sight just because the FL is pretty. They do spend a lot of time on office politics which some people dislike and other people have been weirdly critical of the FL's looks which is crazy to me.

Your comment made me realize I can't remember the last time I saw a workplace story where the ML wasn't a CEO. It's refreshing that he's smart and competent but not rich and not superhuman.

I'm the same way, I don't rate dramas I don't complete. I think it's unfair.

"Contrato de amor eterno com o Seo In Guk renovado" made me laugh so hard because I feel the same way! I love him and I'm always happy when he's in a drama I enjoy (because unfortunately he's done a lot of dramas where he's good in it but the rest of the drama is bad)

You are absolutely right and I shouldn't say things that make it seem like I think disliking this drama is a personal failing. I'm going to edit my comment.

I haven't seen any here so I must have already blocked people.
