I was excited about this one - I knew what I was getting myself into when I saw clips of this drama on Instagram, knowing the only thing that would get me out of my drama funk was something light that didn't take itself too seriously. And I am not too familiar with Thai dramas, so it is always a safe bet for myself to try something different when I can't figure out what other genre/region I want to watch next.

I was pulled in instantly, wanting to know how the whole story was going to process and how Koji was going to go about teasing out main Noom about not calling him back after the night they spent together. And it was cute and quirky, and I remember texting my friends saying that I recommended this drama. Noom was a very independent woman who worked hard for what she got which landed her a role as a translator in a big company. And upon arrival, she continuously proved to everyone that she was great at what she did. And then we had Koji, the CEO of ViperX who was also the best at what he did and would protect his employees and business at any cost - even if it meant dealing with Mr Mark, our first villain.

And as their romance started to blossom, we got to see a quirky side to Koji who just LOVED to tease Noom. And it was cute. Until you get into the middle of the drama, and we see a lot of gender differences. I am not sure if this is a normal thing in Thai dramas as I do not know the gender roles, but I do remember making a comment in the first few Thai dramas I watched - it seems that men can get away with doing a lot more than women can. We see this first when Koji sees Mr Mark flirting with Noom and gets extremely jealous that he gives Noom a hard time, making her uncomfortable in their relationship as well as at work. He never talked with her to find out what was going on and why she was going out and meeting with him On the other hand, whenever Noom would get jealous about Koji & Rena, our big villain, Koji would just tell her not to worry about it and just laugh at her for being cute and jealous, even though homegirl was having this internal crisis. As we get more into their relationship, we see Noom become very dependent and we see her loose her voice. And not because it was taken away, but because she was too in her head. Given, Koji became an extremely sus character and I am not sure if it was because of the writing or because the actor wasn't the best (but I still love you, Luke!) He got away with a lot - the more we got the know him, the more he seemed to act like a "host" where he used his charm and sex appeal to win over clients which obviously did not sit well with Noom.

But what I will say about this drama - they did build up trust within their relationship where they were confident in one another and their feelings for one another, so when the villains tried to ruin their relationship on multiple occasions, they never doubted their feelings for one another, but instead would get angry over hoe the other reacted in the situation. And because of that, when they made up, it was a lot smoother. But don't get me wrong, Koji made some WEIRD choices and put Noom in a lot of uncomfortable positions which was hell to get through in the middle of the drama, but near the end, our girl finds her voice again and I was so proud at her for basically telling Koji that he was being a wack ass and he needed to check himself if he wanted to be with her because she is a queen. She also found her voice and told off all her bullies and the villains.

If you want to watch something light what makes you roll your eyes at all the cliche scenes (ex Noom tripping over everything and falling into KOji's arms 11 out of 10 times) because there is a lot of them, this is a good drama. A lot of the side characters were meh, but luckily we don't see a lot of them.

I feel weird for saying this and with the rating I gave this drama - but for the amount of bad in the drama, I very much enjoyed it. I saw commonalities with this Taiwanese drama (Just You) that is also not the best, but it is one of the few dramas I rewatch time to time. Just You definitely had more of a story and more character growth than this drama, but it did have the classic secret relationship with the boss and his ex girlfriend who is also his boss coming into the picture because they want to see the world burn before their ex can find happiness with someone else. I believe I am very much into this whole troupe, but with that...will always come the hierarchy of their job positions which always seem to reflect in their relationship as well.

A love hate type of thing that I always get pulled into.

I believe I bumped this up from a 7.5 to and 8 because I did watch a lot of Luke's youtube videos in-between episodes and even though I didn't like their characters, I really liked the main actors outside of the drama. And ultimately, it turned a lot of the bad scenes into quirky ones.

ALSO, I was obsessed with Hazobe who should have been given a bigger role. Also shame that he didn't develop a relationship with Noom's best friend from ep 1, but I wasn't a fan of any of Noom's friends who just seemed to play up the bad in situations in different ways. Hazobe deserved better
