I wasn't really sure what to expect from this other than a hopefully cute and fluffy romance, and while it's a bit cliched at points, there's a bit more depth to the plot than I was expecting!

The opening caught my attention with the beautiful city shots and the upbeat song, swiftly followed by the scandal. I got hooked in pretty fast and kind of regretted watching it as it aired because it KILLED me to wait for each new episode! I was surprised a little by how much I loved this drama, and the romance, and the additional stuff alongside the cute romance.

Oh Yeon So
-adorable little Martian.
-I love her she’s hilarious. I kinda got Elle Woods vibes from her, with her outfits, and how people lowkey assume she’s dumb but then she cracks out some law knowledge cause it turns out she has an excellent memory.
-I felt for her, especially when it’s finally revealed what the deal is with the scandal that happened, she’s supposed to not be very good at acting and she’s just trying to get back on her feet okay!
-I also admired her dedication and determination that she showed throughout the drama, as well as her emotional empathy, understanding and kindness towards the various different people we encountered.

Jung Rok
-he’s a bit of an ass in the beginning and doesn’t really give her a chance but honestly that’s just his personality like he’s not here to piss about.
-He’s so straightforward and brusque and matter of fact, and isn’t that great with human interaction for the most part.
- He doesn’t come to company events, he doesn’t always get social cues like cornering her at a company dinner to ask her in front of everyone why she got upset at him. BUT he is quite sweet and adorable.

The supporting cast…I loved them. Her manager….man I loved him, I wasn’t too sure of him at first but he really looks out for her and the two of them where funny. The divorce lawyer….he’s such a mummys boy I was cackling jesus, but he was kind of sweet in his own way, helping her get experience at the court by taking her with him etc. I think we should admire his self confidence to be honest. The female lawyer who kept falling in love all over the place, and my GOD did I ship she and the divorce lawyer after a few of their interactions! They where my favourite side couple and they had me chuckling a couple of times.

But the biggest shout out goes to Jung Rok’s roommate Se Won. THANK GOD FOR HIM. Seriously, he fixed everything one time when they had a fight and Jfc, whenever something would happen with our main couple after that I was like Se Won please go and sort it out. I loved Se Won and I was rooting for he and his ex to get back together.

Romance: They where so cute from close to the start, like episode 3, but episode 4...hot damn they where just too cute and it was killing me and then it threw in that sinister clip in the middle of it and then back to the cute I was like woah...if I wasn’t hooked already this would have done it.
-I was anticipating more of them being adorable and the drama that was to come! I just loved how kinda sweet and innocent it all was because neither of them have ever dated before, and you saw her obviously get feelings first and try to keep it from him so badly, and him realise her feelings and know her excuses and reasoning for things are bullshit but still rolling with it.
-They’re so freaking sweet okay. Jesus.
-I also enjoyed the level of trust they had so we avoided any misunderstandings about certain things in the show, and didn’t have arguments about it!

Plot: I was drawn in by the characters and the romance, but there was plenty in the plot to keep me interested.
-We have Yeon So assimilating to her new job and the hilarity with that, and her bonding and getting closer with Jung Rok as well as the other lawyers etc.
-We have the romance growing and developing.
-We have the mystery of her scandal and what happened, we have the shady chaebol when he appears, but we also have the various different cases we see in each episode that Jung rok handles and Yeon So becomes involved in which I wasn’t expecting and added a nice amount of intrigue and something to keep you interested alongside the romance and added more depth to the drama.
-I loved seeing her get involved and help in her own special way which I also think went a ways to the developing romance as it paints her in a new light to him, but we had a variety of different cases, and while I initially didn’t get the focus on two characters who weren’t the mains even if one was his roommate, they did slowly connect in with the main characters.
-It’s nicely paced, I was a bit sad that the whole thing with the Chaebol Air was sorted so quickly and I was worried it was going to be a final few episodes of nothing much really happening which was my issue with what’s wrong with Secretary kim, but it turned out that there was more to cover, her making her comeback and so on!
-There was unexpected action at points too and it kept us busy up until the end with cute and funny moments as well as a few more obstacles and issues to work out.

Final Thoughts:
A nicely paced drama, a sweet romance, the leads have great chemistry. Lots of funny moments, a surprising hint of action here or there and it keeps you entertained until the end when it wraps things up neatly! Definitely a rewatchable one and I never stopped looking forward to the episodes each week!
