I don't usually place much stock in reviews, but I ran across a review for this drama a few days ago. I hadn't even heard of it, so obviously it wasn't on my radar, but since I haven't had much luck in the rom-com department recently, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. This was one that cause all of life and chores to cease - I finished it in two days! I'm not going to reiterate the story but just give my general impressions:
-ML and FL relationship was believable. They were in a contractual relationship, and we got to go along for the ride as they got to know one another. The development of the relationship and their feelings was believable. We could feel when they started to care for one another.
-Their relationship was also healthy. They supported one another and were there for each other.
-Lovely chemistry.
-There wasn't a lot of over-the-top acting.
-Loved the boss/assistant relationship. Lots of amusing things there.
-There was a lot of comedy in this. I think they tag things as comedies too often. You watch, expecting a rom-com, but are disappointed. I laughed out loud a lot. There was something that happened toward the end that surprised me so much, snorting occurred and I hit my head on the headboard. My husband came in to see if I was alright.
-Likeable characters, for the most part.
-Business talk was kept to a minimum. This was, thankfully, more romance than business. They could have probably cut it by a couple of episodes, but it wasn't too laggy.
-Sweet, happy ending.

Things I didn't care for:
-The second couple. She was a stalker, immature, and whiny. If she had changed in earlier episodes and become more mature, I would have been all in on this relationship. But it was too little, too late.

A good rom-com makes me feel good while watching it. A really good one keeps me smiling. This one kept me smiling.
