I go on vibes and this office romance brought them all!
Reading some reviews, I see this show wasn’t to everyone’s tastes.
But for me, this was an office romance that hit just right!
It wasn’t overly dramatic; the pace and flow were done so well. And when conflict between the couple cropped up, it was resolved so soon, most often the very next episode! I can’t express my joy for that, when usually, the writers draw that out so much it becomes an utter drag to watch. So, all my hats are off to them for not relying on needless emotional conflict.
What I also appreciated as a watcher of romances in all genres and tropes, is that they had so much open communication. Another rarity! Feelings were confessed, thoughts, inner fears and insecurities were discussed! I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, as we’re used to – there is always an episode before the end that everything goes to hell and your heart is dragged through the angst.
But it never came!
The finale was so sweet and lovely.
I can understand why this office romance wasn’t for everyone, but this one felt like it was written for me specially, lol.
I adore the MMC and his low lidded dreamy, yearning eyes.
And now I’m a fan of the FMC, too.
A side note to say I loved the supporting cast, especially the work task force. Those twists when we were led to believe two of them were being snakes and then they were not all along – fantastic!
A notable mention for the reverse age gap side story with the second couple. One of my fave tropes, so I enjoyed this immensely.
And because I’ve mentioned things being rare several times, I’ll close my review by mentioning how great it was that his ex-wife was lovely and supportive! Not a lick of drama from her.
An all-around gentle and heartwarming drama I will absolutely watch again.
Low angst, minimal unnecessary drama, and adorable characters.
