It has its good ways and bad ways is all I can say...

**Just to note for those who want to watch it on Netflix, it won’t be available after the 10th of February 2021**

Anyways so I finished this kromcom in a matter of full two days. I found out about this drama from Stewie on the Drama Obsess website which was based on the “ Office Romance Korean Dramas You Can’t Resist”list. I’ll tell you how I felt in bullet points for the good and the bad while watching this kromcom:-

The good
*Our main couple:- I liked the fact that the drama focused on the romance development between the two leads Na Ae Ra and Cha Jung Woo. It’s interesting how both were completely opposites like Na Ae Ra is open, hot tempered and doesn’t take any bs from anyone. Whereas Cha Jung Woo is an intelligent caring guy who wants to move on from their failed marriage but still loves Na Ae Ra. It was even heartbreaking to hear about the miscarriage, it was a pretty emotional experience. Also yes they are both very attractive and that kiss man was a delight to see😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

* Na Ae Ra’s father:- I really thought that guy who played the father did a good job at being pretty likeable in the series. You definitely would like a dad like him...seriously he is a shipper like myself with wanting our main leads back together!

*Mr Gam- I honestly would’ve liked to know who played this loveable eccentric dude like seriously he may be a typical “over the top” colleague but he was just so cute how he always thought of his family and he does care about his colleagues so much! I wish he was part of the main cast tbh 😔



The bad
Love triangle cliche- I was always frustrated with the Kook siblings going after the main leads. At first I seriously liked Kook Seung Hyeon and Kook Yeo Jin cause I thought they were interesting characters. Yeo Jin was a car crash victim who lost her husband and has a bionic leg. Kook Seung Hyeon is an attractive bubbly guy who dreams of being an artist and yet doesn’t give a monkeys ass about working in the company. He just wants Na Ae Ra. I just wish the Kook siblings weren’t the usual cliche “third wheelers” like the pair of them turned out to be pricks at the end of it. They are better off to be a couple themselves rather than siblings seriously. It would be great to see another couple tbh....

The snobby co workers- god I even hated the co workers as well as the siblings. They just ultimately keep downgrading the female lead like it was legit sexism from a viewpoint just because she was a woman and admired Seung Hyeon cause he’s a fella. It was just so uncomfortable to see like it was just urgh they should’ve written them off the story!!!!

The karaoke scene - I honestly would have rather to hear the characters voices like sticking in a random song from someone else and the characters not in sync with the song, it was just messy man! Like cmon, they could have at least let us hear the singing voices of Lee Min Jung, Joo Sang Wook and Kim Gyu Ri!!!!!

So overall folks it was alright nice enough show to waste time on but I wish it was developed properly by giving us something at least different instead of the old fashioned cliches. That’s why I’m giving it a 6/10 rating and that was mainly thanks to the main leads tbh....
