I don't like love triangles, so I picked this up after seeing it on the list of a like minded individual. I don't regret watching the show, it was entertaining enough. It's just that everything about the drama is somewhere inbetween good and mediocre. The comedy is present, but I felt that the show could've been much funnier. I enjoyed the romance, but I did not feel blown away by the main couple's chemistry. There is very little relationship related makjang in the show, they talk about the occasional problem like adults and there is no breakup or a forced separation so that's a big plus going for this drama. Even the "ohnoez he is a divorcee" mom & the semi psychotic ex-wife were bearable.
The quality of entertainment drops at around episode 12-15. All the office BS felt boring to watch and there were fewer romantic scenes & no progress in their relationship until the last episode. People like bashing Secretary Kim these days, however I believe that the office romance thing is hugely more entertaining there. WWWSK had just as many, if not more office related scenes, but somehow it was a lot better. The creators did not delve into scheming nearly as much in that show, nor did they have cartoon villainy adversaries etc.
The miscellaneous characters are great actors, I've seen many of them shine in other dramas, but most of their performances fell short in Jugglers. It's like they were collectively lacking enthusiasm and drive in this drama. It could be just me, but it felt that the scenes involving the "crew" could only be described as dull. Even the ever so brilliant comedienne Park Kyung Hye's character felt bland in this drama, I mean how is that even possible???
Obviously this show for the most part did not take itself very seriously & that's how it should be in a cheesy romcom like this, however Bona's character did not fit the show. Her sob background story & her actions felt out of place. (show not taking itself seriously vs. really serious Bona vs. cartoon villain boss of Bona )Let's not even talk about her redemption ark thing.
