For a romantic comedy it is quite enjoyable. What does not quite work is the side stories about the colleagues. The dramatic kidnap back story and his relationship with his brother is quite diverting. Also the workplace issues about them dating are funny. The comedy is good in how he interacts with her family and the wedding preparations. Their love isn't as timid as in many K drama comedies are. She has an expressive face unlike some of the actresses popular today. PMY is sweet and very attractive as the long suffering secretary. Its nice how they show how valuable she is. The way he treats her initially is refreshingly politically incorrect. PSJ is quite funny and well cast as the narcissistic arrogant VP. They are both good at making fun of their characters quirks. Highly Recommended!įirstly the chemistry between the leads is successful. But if you are in the mood for a classic, RomCom K-Drama with an old school fairytale ending which pulls no punches in the physical contact department, you would be hard pressed to find one more satisfying than this. If you are looking for something "fresh" or "unique," this probably won't be your cup of tea. This show, however, follows through on all the buildup, rewarding viewers with 6+ very invested kiss scenes, as well as (gasp!) a passionate bedroom scene. 3) Plenty of Adult Romantic Payoff! Most mainstream K-Dramas tend to stick to the "G-Rated Love" standard, with (sometimes frustratingly) limited romantic contact between the leads and little resolution to any sexual tension. Additionally, it realistically highlighted many of the struggles a normal couple would face in developing a new relationship (especially inexperienced first-timers), but kept the contrived angst to a refreshing minimum with (gasp!) actual communication. Unlike many romance stories which focus on the complications of a love triangle, this one kept its focus firmly on the main pair, despite the potential for a triangle. They are by far the best thing about this show. However, by the end of the first episode I was totally in love! Their couple chemistry was insane and their performances (both together and alone) were amazing. There are plenty of other celebrities whom I personally find more attractive than PSJ and PMY. I thought this show had plenty of strong points, but since they have already been covered in other reviews, I will limit my comments to the aspects in which IMO this film stands out from its peers: 1) The main leads.
