One of the most beautiful k-dramas I've watched in a long time
I've never written a review before but I had to for this one.This drama is one of the best dramas I've watched in a while.
The casting is absolute perfection- I initially watched the show for Won Jin Ah but Rowoon really surprised me here with his acting. He really shined in the role of Chae Hyun-Seung and showcased a different side of his acting here. Jin Ah, as expected, also nailed her role as a strong and independent sunbae, yet someone who is vulnerable and afraid of love. Both of them act almost entirely with just their eyes! They are class actors and I can't wait to see more of their acting in the future.
The storyline/plot may sound cliche to others but I found it refreshing - there are not a lot office romances related to cosmetics. The chemistry between the Won Jin Ah and Rowoon is just out of this world, even off-screen! I can't get enough of these two together. The character development is amazing all-around and even the supporting characters' stories keeps you invested. The story also wrapped up very nicely- it was not rushed at all in my opinion.
Another thing this drama excelled in is the pacing. For a slow-burn romance, the pacing is just right. It gives a realistic feel to the main leads' love story. The female lead's character is not someone who blindly falls in love and I really liked that. I found her character quite relatable, personally. Both main leads have their own flaws but are mature and independent and they bring out the best in each other in the relationship.
I also want to give a shout-out to all the OST in this drama - they were very beautiful and fitting songs that complemented every single scene.
She Would Never Know is an absolutely beautiful and heartwarming drama that I highly recommend to all. Please do not let the low ratings keep you from checking out this wonderful drama!!!
