Honestly, the only reason I picked this one up because I needed something light, frothy and candyflossy to de-stress at the end of the day. And it served its purpose well for about up to episode 4-5. Then all hell breaks loose and all the familiar, annoying K-drama cliches are paraded one by one in a measly effort to progress the plot - jealous interfering ex-wife, typical-nice-guy second male lead, makjang-y secrets from the past involving accidental death of mothers. You name it. It's not like the drama had a lot of things going for it - Yun Ho is at best a mediocre actor who has finally managed to get rid of his onscreen stiffness while the whatshername actress doesn't fit the cutesy role because more often than not I found her irritating rather than innocent or naive. (Who the hell wears such adorkable dresses and rainbow-hued skirts to work?) And yet the writer went ahead and destroyed the one thing that the drama served up well - flirty banter, aegyo-filled scenes, hot kissing and skinship. Another thing which galled me to no end was how quickly the guy went from 0-interest to let's-kiss-like-we-want-to-screw-against-the-wall-level-interest. There was absolutely no build up to the romance. Further melodrama and an excess of glycerine in a rom com is a deal-breaker. Especially melodrama that makes no logical sense whatsoever. So long story short, if you are looking for straight out hearty fun, lots of laughs and rom-comy goodness, you are better off looking elsewhere.
