This drama was so beyond my expectations. It was realistic, gritty at times, and had no frills, which I really appreciated for a change.
The drama is well written. In a lot of other shows, the romance carries the story the whole way till the last 2 episodes where the tiny string of background conflict gets resolved. I loved that the main plotline revolves around their jobs and the thefts, making the resolution of the conflict much more satisfying. The romance as a whole was a side piece that rounded out and made the story sweeter to watch. I will also say that the romance in general was really well portrayed. There were no evil ex-girlfriends or scheming mother-in-laws. The obstacles to love were real and believable, and the whole thing was just beautiful to watch. The main couples relationship grew slowly, like a flower slowly blooming.

The part of the story that grabbed my attention was Heo ChoHee’s character by Kim Sun Ah. Amid all the dramas with melodramatic, emotionally volatile heroines, she was breathtaking as a well rounded and fleshed out character who made no bones about her priorities in life. It was so refreshing to see a female lead that didn’t melt into a giggling puddle of mush when she fell in love, and instead let the relationship add a new dimension to herself.

Kim Bumsung’s character was well developed too I thought- very thoughtfully portrayed and believable. In fact, I really loved all the acting in this show. The cast was superb. (I will caveat that Joo Hyun’s character was annoying at times, but endearing by the end.)

I just loved this drama. Hope others do too.
