Seung Yoon's acting was bland. She plays a girl who has fallen in love with a co-worker who doesn't believe in love. I felt bad for Jong Hyeon (He plays her co-worker she falls in love with.) you could see he was trying to make the drama more exciting and more interesting acting wise but it just didn't work out.
Jong Hyeon and Seung Yoon were a very awkward lead couple. During some scenes I couldn't help but cringe. I don't know why it was like that...maybe it was because Seung Yoon had the same type of expression throughout almost the whole drama? I don't know.
Now on to the plot. Hmmmmmm....how can I really put it into words? Well I felt it lacked something. The whole plot was basically about there romance and the only thing which kept the story going was there trust issues with each other. Even till the last episode they still were worried the other person was getting involved with someone else (That's never a good sign in any relationship).
The ending was cute. I will say that.
Do I recommend watching this mini drama?
Not really. I would say there are a lot better mini dramas out there.

Seriously, this lacked a lot of things, the story could have been a bit faster paced, considering it was such a short drama, it didnt have much substance.
The acting was quite bland and expressionless. There was absolutely no chemistry between any actor, especially the lead couple, as this was a drama based purely on romance, I was expecting some sparks!
Note the kissing scenes, so awkward and distant.
Overall, like I said watch if nothing else is there, but dont expect any fireworks.

Lets get down to it.
The good: I really like the shoes theme within this drama. With a plot as common as the one found in this drama you've got to have something a bit different to help it stick out and the shoes definitely stuck out in my mind. The other woman (Manager Kim) was kind of the redeming thing for me in this drama; watching her go from crazy in love to 'you know, maybe not' was a nice change to see but other than those two facts it's just your run of the mill love story.
The bad: After watching this drama i can understand why Hong Jonghyun is usually cast for more villianous characters. Something abaout his acting just screams deviant who is plotting to ruin everything. With both characters maintaining one expression throughout the entire series it was hard to bare at some times but we made it through.
The ugly: If you love awkward kiss scenes then this is your drama. The kisses in this drama made me feel something I've never felt before and it wasn't nice. You'd get a better reaction from me by shoving two barbie dolls together. Honestly, it felt like I was intruding on a weird staged moment.

The female lead's smile and acting is awkward at times. She just couldn't kiss back except for the final kiss.

This got my attention. What with? The runtime! LOL
See, all korean dramas I ever watched had episodes at least hour long and forgive me to say, most of the cases it did NOT flatter them. Such runtime can actually afford only truly super-fun series, like 'Boys Over Flowers'... Else, the single episode runtime is like the K-DRAMA GREATEST WEAKNESS. (Note: I never binge-watch and require the SERIES to be actually working IN episodes. Each episode must win me over, again. Each should end so I feel excited to see more, not tired to death.) Here, at Her Lovely Heels, we're at the opposite extreme. It is not sitcom, yet the episodes are 15 minutes only. I am accustomed to 22-minute japanese anime episode runtimes, and it works well. But 15 minutes?It's really as short as it can get. Can that be enough for a drama? Surprisingly, yes. It doesn't feel rushed, or like something is missing. Turns out, with such runtime, we just got short all the clamoring side-characters that only annoy, all the (in pure fact) un-related side-stories that only tire. Nothing is disturbing the drama's pace. Nothing dilutes it to more average feel.
As this is a romance drama, I can confirm what happens to the main couple in 1 episode, IS equal to what happens in 1 episode of regular k-drama. Amazing how much time this drama saves you, LOL. No seriously, you don't get the familiar FEEL of wading-through just 1 episode (I'm not saying the dramas won't reward you for your patience, but still:)
On the other hand, it also kinda exposes how banal most of the dramas are, LOL. Take away all the embellishments and fluff and this is what remains bare. Truth to be told, the actual story is often nothing much. But didn't I always insist that story is NOT what's truly important in a drama? Yeah! LOL:) So, good drama has that untangible "something" more... Some atmosphere, some vibrance, humour, chemistry, feeling... Something. Can that SOMETHING fit in the 15-minute runtime, too?
I think in this case, we got all the conversation and interaction and sad song playing scenes as we would have, even if this was full k-drama runtime. To me this was an average romance. Had I watched this with say 3-4 more side-character's stories, about twice as many scenes with the plotting rival and some ocasional comic relief, I bet I should definitely complain about it being a draggy drama. Because not much is actually happening. But! My point is I DID watch some k-dramas which had even LESS content than this one and they DID bore me with 1,5 hour long episodes. So even if this is an average k-drama, it still achieved something above average.
