When I saw news of this drama I was incredibly excited. I had enjoyed Rowoon in Extraordinary You and I had always heard of Won Jin-ah but never really watched her in anything, so of course I had to tune in for this show. Unfortunately, I never finished it and ended up dropping right towards the end.

The first few episodes really took me by surprise when I found myself hating Hyun Seung whenever he was around Song Ah. The two barely knew each other, yet Hyun Seung felt entitled to her space and her personal life all because he had a crush on her, which is incredibly creepy when you view it from her perspective. It is something I can not stand in dramas, but I stuck with it anyway as I assumed there would be some character development. I began to enjoy it a bit around episode 4 when the two started working together and as their friendship bloomed, but that is where another issue comes in.

The two of them didn't have any chemistry, and it was unbearable to watch. As Song Ah began developing feelings for Hyun Seung, I honestly couldn't tell she was until she said the words right out of her mouth, but I didn't feel any excitement or relief. The two of them were dry together and I honestly felt as though Won Jin-ah was awkward around Rowoon(I had watched behind-the-scenes clips). I recently started Just Between Lovers so I already knew that she wasn't the issue. Rowoon wasn't either, I just don't think these two were all that compatible with each other. They were better as friends and I enjoyed watching them together when there wasn't any romance involved.

Another issue I had was the characters. Although the acting was okay(minus Lee Joo Bin. I felt she was a bit over the top and incredibly cartoonish compared to the actual tone of the show), the characters were awfully boring. They didn't feel real and it was like watching paint dry. The storyline itself was just as bland as the characters, and the will-they won't-they schtick became incredibly repetitive. I don't want to be too harsh on the actors because I know their capabilities and I am sure that their blandness was mainly because the material they were given to work with, or lack thereof, was dry.

It really sucks that I feel this way because I was incredibly excited to watch this and I know Rowoon and Won Jin-ah could have done so much more, but their chemistry was lacking, the story was lacking and the characters were lacking. It was just a very boring show that didn't have much to offer. The only reason why I am giving this 3 stars instead of 1 is that, even if I didn't like it, I also didn't hate it and there was a small point in time where I was genuinely enjoying it. If the two leads were to ever be in a drama again, I hope it is only as friends or acquaintances.
