I liked how this drama is a melodrama and not a romcom. It has a great storyline. About how reporters not just "report" news but sometimes, they manipulate it, according to their needs or someone's needs, like a higher up or a sponsor or a shareholder for their company perhaps. It shows the dark side of media. Like not everything you see or hear is real or true. Fair enough. As for my reason to watch this drama is the actor "Lee Jong Suk", I did not really see him in this drama. What I mean is, he played the role well. Like he was really the reporter that he played in the role. He disappeared into the show and just became the plain and simple character he plays. He is that good. As for the female lead, Park Shin Hye, its my first time watching her really, because I gave up watching her on the drama "The Heirs" because of the shallow story line. So in this drama, I really appreciated her acting and her physical beauty. She and Lee Jong Suk had chemistry, as they all said. But their love story was not really the focus here. Its more of the great story line about "Reporting and the News" thingy. The love story here was just kinda the side dish, not the main dish. Its refreshing for me. Anyway, if I recommend this drama, yes of course. Its one of the best dramas out there. It is on the serious side but nicely paced. But if you are looking for a romance and feel good romcom, this is not for you. I can recommend other dramas.
