loved this
stumbled across this one . Loved every main character.ML - great range of comedic ability and ability to show heartbreak and cry.
FL - outstanding job, physical actress, her crying is probably the top 10 I've seen. She plays two characters -- very well done. Her crying broke my heart.
2FL - refreshing!!!! LOVED her. Don't want to spoil it. Love the relationship/interplay between 2FL and FL. No backstabbing here.
2ML - he's pretty good. Loved the loyalty and the relationship between the ML and him.
some of the villains (you'll know who I'm talking about when you watch,) have a backstory that makes you understand their actions and sympathize. Not all the villains are cookie cutters. Though others in this show are cookie cutter. But, giving everyone a backstory would make show drag. Some people in real life are just jerks and even a backstory doesn't justify them.
As others have said, boss/secretary, mistaken identity, injured main character. But the refreshing writing and acting made this a great one to watch.
(only save 9s or 10s for masterpieces.)

This drama was nothing special. In fact it reminded me a lot of "what's wrong with secretary Kim?" and a little bit of "devilish joy" . Seriously , what's going on with this whole amnesia / blindness / can't recognise names - faces-voices thing on kdramas? It's really annoying and not realistic at all. At first I thought it would be a funny drama and in fact it was but then it just reminded a lot of "what's wrong with secretary Kim?" so I got really fed up. I loved the main leads but sometimes their dialogues and actions were really stupid . Like , Galhee would pretend she was Veronica but Minik couldn't understand it was her even by her voice ? Also I don't think there was a real chemistry between the main leads. Would I recommend it to anyone ? Yeah maybe but there are much better dramas with same story more or less so I guess it wouldn't be one of my first choices .

Loser male lead who is madly in love with the female lead.
If you have watched "Lovely Runner" and you fell in love with the male lead, then you will like this drama. The male lead in this drama is literally a loser and a simp for the female lead, who is his secretary.This drama is a perfect romance drama to watch when you feel bored or just want some fluff. Personally I feel the love and the relationship of the second couple seemed a bit superficial and that that many things could have been more detailed.
However I liked how they portrayed the problems of people who have facial blindness and have to deal with it daily. The male lead did a great portraying the struggles, his feelings and how he overcame the fear of not beeing able to see faces anymore.
In conclusion, this drama is a 7/10.

Going into particulars, the friendship, and bromance serves well to the palate of a hungry drama enthusiast. I hoped the female lead not to get involved in the cliche love triangle. And boy was I surprised to see the second female lead to have such an 'awesome' character :p. I thoroughly enjoyed the male lead's character which could have turned very dark if the writers changed certain things. I appreciate the artists' performances during the show.
Storywise, the focus was almost always on the storyline between the main leads. Although the side stories did exist, they failed to spike the interest and I have no complaints about it. I cannot stress the importance of the light-hearted warm feeling you get when you see the smiles on the faces of the two main leads.
All-in-all, this show is for anyone who wants to chill out, relax and enjoy a sweet drama.

So, I just finished watching this drama...and the ending..was good. I like how it turned out...we don't know if he was fully recovered from the disease..but at least he had the chance to see her again.I recommend watching this if you're into CEO and workplace dramas...I was into it..but when the drama was about to end...it began to slow down..like I'm losing the motivation to watch it but I told myself if you started it, then finished it.XD
The second main couple thooo...:0 WOW. I loved them. I just found out that the girl, Veronica Park, AKA Kim Jae Kyung, was the main actress from Noble, My Love. I love her acting in that drama and I'm so pissed how I did not recognize her. Those parts/acting really fit her personality and I wish to see more of those in the future. I like how Veronica Park/Kim Jae Kyung is the one who goes for it instead of the guy. Like..kissing..and yadiyada. She's the leader of the relationship.
I don't know what else to say, but I love how they add filters and such...and the antagonist guy..I feel bad. xd Like...ehh
I was actually shooked by how the truth turned out. It was actually good, TBH. Like...you weren't expecting that.
I would watch again but only for the good part...like the romances and comedy of this drama.
If you are into romance, comedy, and little suspense..I recommend this. I finished it in 2 days..with Homeworks xD

For The Non-Ambitious Watchers
This drama came across young and for the young at heart, fluffy, amusing at times and can be quite enjoyable if you are not an ambitious viewer looking for depth and every episode to make sense.I personally disliked it for the following reasons :
- Jin Ki Joo playing Gal Hee did a mediocre job acting in this role as one expected more as her role was key in leading the entire drama. The make-up department also did not help by giving her such heavy make-up and over dyed red curly bunch of hair which was quite glaring that it was hard to focus on her character. Poor thing, for such a pretty girl.
- Gal Hee's character was too meek and being able to share words of wisdom to her boss at times did not do much to hype up her character.
- Story line could have been better if the boss Min Ik (Kim Young Kwang) was not drawn to or liked the fake Veronica Park (Gal Hee) in the beginning, then it would have flowed a lot better. I understand that the story is trying to show that the boss is actually liking the same and one person, but for us who watch it was irritating, not required. Instead, if it was the fake Veronica chasing the boss and he in turn is more attracted to Gal Hee, the secretary....then the drama will make more sense.
- there were also many plots that did not make sense.
However, I scored slightly above average at 6.5 for overall viewing as I agree with a lot of other reviewers, Veronica Park (played by Kim Jae Kyung) truly SAVED the show. Her character was written out well and she also acted it out to perfection. Veronica Park is naturally beautiful. Loved her loud, irritating, arrogant and animated personality which actually have a great sense of maturity and a heart of gold. Her second couple role with Dae Joo (Koo Ja Sung) did a good job to keep us interested. His firm stance and not allowing Veronica Park to always get her way stood well and helped him to get and keep the girl!
As for the main lead couple, there was no need to make their relationship appear childish and innocent in demeanor. Hard to watch. Thank goodness we know Kim Young Kwang (the boss Min Ik) is a good actor and have been seen in a lot of other very good dramas.
Anyway, the drama can be entertaining to watch. Like I said, IF you are not taking the show seriously. Cheers!

We won this is a someway Rob review here. I am not extremely picky but I am a little picky when it comes to commonsense and integrity. I want you all this writing is coming from a person that really does not like movies that have foundation or plots built on lies. For me it’s like watching a fairy tale knowing the wolf or bad thing will arrive any moment. Well somebody see this as a pleasant drama I found it frustrating because just as in reality a liar always get caught in the person that hurt by the lie it is left to be hateful or except you in your life. That change the genre for me from comedy to drama.Normally I’d loved a show with this type of atmosphere however I really couldn’t enjoy it. Hey, maybe I’m just in my feelings but it was just something about the plot that I found not entertaining, “oh yeah, the parts that had our female lead take advantage of someone who couldn’t recognize her face for 19 out of 30 episodes.
An example of this would be pretending to be somebody else and going on a date with a blind person, Then going to work pretending like nothing happened. Something about that it did not sit right with me even though they have funny music playing or sentimental music going, even though she had such a youthful, innocent face.
in those situation, the lie was just too long for me.

Sweet, but flawed and sometimes irritating
As you can see by the review's title, I'm conflicted about this drama. I, like many others, am tired of the prosopagnosia trope; but this show at least had an original twist on it. It also went a little deeper into the medical aspects of it (causes, symptoms, etc.) than I've seen elsewhere.The disease, however, set the show up for one of the most annoying plotlines I've ever seen. Almost everything contrived to prolong the secretary's deception, even if characters had to make ridiculous, illogical decisions in order for that to happen. The deception itself was pretty despicable, no matter how much justification the show tried to provide. I found myself unable to enjoy some of the cute/romantic moments because I couldn't stop thinking about what the FL was doing to the ML simply because she was, well, selfish.
I found the overall wrap-up interesting and more satisfying than many dramas I've seen. In the end I was ok with the way the relationship between the ML and FL resolved itself, but along the way there were many times when I considered not watching the rest of the show because the deception just wouldn't end. I'm glad I did finish because both the main and secondary romances were ultimately very nice.

Saved by Veronica
The main story is nonsense that requires not only a suspension of belief (which is fine) but a complete disregard for consistency and logic anywhere. I mean there's an attempted murder, the driver is nosing around in the office with a lame excuse (which the FL defying all logic piles on in support), FL finds a mysterious file on her computer, then there's a break-in. You'd think there would be some suspense and tension or least like trying to put this all together - but no - the main characters bump along largely oblivious to anything. These crimes play into a secondary robninhoodish plot that rather than being revealed slowly will just kind of be dumped into a later episode. Oh yeah, the sometimes floating apparently sentient moss balls would be stupid in 99% of dramas but somehow fit in here. Don't get me wrong they're still stupid, but they fit in.Despite all that it manages to be entertaining if you don't pay close attention unless Kim JaeKyung is on screen as Veronica Park completely stealing every scene she's in. The Veronica Park character seems whack in the beginning but as the show progresses it's obvious she's everything that everyone else is not. Smart, communicates succinctly and honestly and actually helps those that make up the clown show around her progress with there lives.

The most frustrating drama I swear! I actually knew that it’s getting boring around episode 12 but I stayed because of Veronica Park. But I’ve never been mad at the main lead before in a drama. This is so frustrating. I really love young kwang and ki joo but their character is just so keep making me disappointed. I don’t know if the characters are just slow witter or just really dumb. When the time that main lead attacked the driver and the driver was obviously holding a knife or a cutter and he found out it’s the driver he didn’t even suspect him AT ALL. Like wtf? And when the female lead came she didn’t even question what the hell the driver was doing in the guy’s office. AND THE WAY SHE KEEP PRETENDING TO BE VERONICA PARK IS MAKING ME MAD. She’s being selfish like she know that the guy has been betrayed by the people around me.
I just wish that they could give something more justice about this because I really waited for this. I really want to continue because of Veronica Park and her partner because they’re so cute. But I just can’t watch it anymore, skipping the lead and not even knowing what is happening every minute is just so frustrating. Anyways. It’s funny story I love how sassy is the female lead around other people and funny is the male lead. But I’m done.
