I adore this drama. LOVE IT.
I adore this drama. There are not enough words to describe how much I love this drama. LOVE it. I loved it so much that I made me family watch it with me right after I finished watching it.
I only rated it a 9.5 because it gave me serve second lead syndrome and PAIN, otherwise it would've gotten a perfect 10.
Don't get me wrong, I do ship the main leads. Their love story was really beautiful and their kisses are some of the best I've seen. Not those blank stares, looks like the guy is kissing a dead fish kind of kiss but real, authentic kisses where the girl actually kisses back.
I am so upset that people hate on this drama because the lead isn't deemed attractive enough. I totally fell in love with him during the drama and the way people can be so shallow or superficial makes me mad. The leads had amazing CHEMISTRY. I read at the time of filming, the FL needed to take a medical break, so the original ML dropped out of this drama to film something else and the part eventually was recast to the current ML. Yes, there is a big age gap between them but it never shows on the drama and they feed off each other so naturally because their chemistry is THAT good. I cannot imagine anyone else playing the role of the CEO after reading that he was the actor that was re-cast.
I really loved the romance between Oh-dol and Joo Yun (Oh-sol's bestfriend). I was shipping them from their first interaction and I couldn't believe what I thought to be a crackship actually became canon/endgame. I wish they had more scenes throughout the show but I was very satisfied with their love story and ending <3
I don't even want to talk about the second lead because I will start crying again. He definitely deserved better. He really did love Oh-sol so much and their flashback scenes made it impossible NOT to ship them. It was unfortunate that their timing was off, I would've been okay if Oh-sol had ended up with him too. I was kind of mad, that they didn't give him a romance. The idea that he just leaves Korea to go back to the States hurts me deeply.
After re-watching this drama twice, I went and watched the Chinese adaptation 'Use For My Talent' and while I did enjoy it a lot, I realized that Kdramas will always be the superior dramas
