If you are looking for a light fluffy unapologetically cheesy drama this is it.
During the holidays I avoided watching anything heavy and went for pure fluffy ,chessy fun and this was definitely the right choice. If you are looking for a rom-com that will have you all giddy and giggly whenever the Main couple is on the screen then this is definitely it.
The two main leads had great chemistry and they were cute and adorable together. The writers did a good job showing and making it distinctive that the ML was also falling for his secretary, who is the actual FL and not for her as Veronica Park. Dramas that have this kind of plot line usually fail at this department (Yes Oh My Ghostess I’m looking at you)
The ML was such a pleasant deviation form the cold/emotionless CEO we are used to. He was so cute and sometimes childlike and thanks to the actor he did not came across as annoying or irritating. But I also found him brilliant in his most emotional scenes, he really made you feel for him.
In the same lane is Veronika Park. She was such hard character to get right and get people to like and root for her, so kudos to the actress for making her come across in such way!
The FL was also a breath of fresh air, not only to the weak and spineless FL we usually get but also to the doormat secretary. She was not afraid to stand up to herself and ask for what she though she deserved.
I also enjoyed the fact that upon the ML choosing and forgiving the FL, she didn’t change her looks and actually the ML liked and fell for her with her normal looks. Usually dramas tend to give the FL a short of makeover first so that the ML would start to take notice.
The female friendship and the support among the secretaries was amazing and something you unfortunately very rarely see in a K-drama.
As much as I enjoyed the drama in general there were a few things I did not like. For one I did not like the 2nd ML. He was too wooden and blunt and honestly did not feel his relationship with Veronica.
When it comes to the plot, at first for me it was clear as to why the secretary did what she did. She was someone who always put others first and took care of them, her boss, her brother, her sister drowning her own wishes and desires. For once she saw the opportunity to be taken care of, she saw the person who always ignored her to finally “see” her and treat her the way she always treated him, but then it just took her too long to tell him what she did to the point that it was kind of uncomfortable to watch.
Another plotline I did not quite like was at the beginning when the FL was insisting that she got fired. She wasn’t. She had a one-year contract that was not renewed and although it sucks it is not firing and she knew it was coming. Those were the terms she signed up for.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this drama and I will definitely recommend it if you are looking for a light fluffy unapologetically cheesy drama.
