Not worth it unless you're bored

This drama starts pretty well. The story is not very original, it's one of those classic 'damsel in distress' plot with a touch of fantasy. Nothing wrong with that.
My problem is with the main's character lines... It's like writer's believed that Kim Yoo-jung and Song Kang physical appearance's where enough to fill the plot. Instead of exploring the relationship on a deeper level, we're sitting through several minutes of empty stares, futile discussions or Jeong Gu-won changing outfits like it's a fashion show. Don't get me wrong, I like playful scenes but this was painful to finish. Kim Yoo-jung and Song Kang may not be the greatest actors but this was an absolute disservice to their career (even though the ratings will say otherwise), specially Song Kang who already struggles with facial expression.
I wanted to stop after episode 10 but I pushed through. I do not recommend unless you have nothing else to do.

It was okay

This drama has a classic "chaebol" storyline with a refreshing twist. From the first episodes, it hooks you with excitement and high expectations. The pacing is nice, the characters are interesting, and if you don't think too much the conflicts are enough to keep you watching the next episode.
The last episodes were mid. From my understanding, the writers wanted to keep the plotline from the novel (at least for the finale), however the execution was very poor. Episode 12 feels completely out of place and exaggerated. I have seen worse endings but it was still disappointing.
Overall, this drama was a nice watch.
