Come for the romance

Reviews on this are mixed, to say the least. If you are the type of person who wants a tight, detailed plot, this isn't for you. If you are the kind of person who wants a fun, supportive, no-conflict romance as the main focus of the plot, you are in for a treat. And that seems to be the dividing line, really.

I came into this drama expecting another cliche cold CEO/employee will they won't they romance and was pleasantly surprised that that wasn't what this was. I absolutely loved this drama to bits but the story outside the romance is weak, I can admit that fully. There are things I would have done differently. Plotlines are forgotten midway and picked up later rather than expertly weaved through the whole drama, some characters get a lacklustre ending, and some story beats are coincidences contrived to move the plot forward. That being said the romance is what shines here for me, and it was what I was watching for - a simple romance. The rest of the plot was gravy.

There are no break ups, no miscommunications, they actually talk to one another and resolve misunderstandings quickly, their feelings for each other are realized and accepted quickly, and they continue to support each other throughout the drama. All while being adorable together and having some killer chemistry. Absolutely delightful, fun, fairytale romance. Some people found the lack of real conflict boring, I found it refreshing. Some people found it too cliche, but I found it took the cliches I liked and removed the ones I found frustrating. Some people wanted more plot, but for me the romance was the plot.

If you can come into this drama with expectations in check it's a very light, fun, watch. If you come in expecting more than that you'll be disappointed.
