A fantastic drama from the Hong Sisters. The storyline was great, both romantic and funny, especially with the puns that were scattered throughout each episode. The subtle messages between that fine line of appropriate and almost-sexually-inappropriate was hilarious and wonderful. I don't think that I've actually ever watched another drama that has this same storyline, so props to the scriptwriter for originality. If there's anything that I would want them to work on, it'd be the storyline for the whole kidnapping thing. It seemed like the central theme at first, but then slowly got pushed to the side. Don't get me wrong, I'm not peeved about it, but it seemed to be dragged out a bit too long since it kind of got pushed to the shadows after the first few episodes. The cast was fantastic! I could not have chosen anyone better to play Gong Shil than Gong Hyo Jin. I can't even imagine another actress that would have played Gong Shil's character better than how Gong Hyo Jin portrayed her. So Ji Sub was a pleasant surprise when I first heard that he joined the cast, and now that it's over, I would love to see him in more romantic comedies after this performance. He plays the character of a sarcastic but realistic CEO very well. The OST was incredible as well. The background music was played in very well-suited parts that fit the mood, and I could not have asked for better singers that could bring forth their emotions. Just for the comedy and the sexual-but-not-sexual puns, I would definitely rewatch this again. Even though the chemistry between the two leads isn't exactly steamy and sizzling, they definitely have that connection there. The extra episode extension was played well too, as it didn't feel rushed at all. If anything, I felt like the extra episode sort of dragged things out a bit, but it's nothing that deters the drama from it's value. Overall, this drama was very well-done and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic-comedy.
