As my hands were exhausted from all the fast-forwarding, I actually switched to just reading recaps of this drama for the last few episodes. I just couldn't watch this and its non-existent plot anymore. Too bad, because I was pleasantly surprised at the tone of this when I first started watching. I was intrigued, but the show never delivered on its promise.
My Rating: 6.5
In Short: This show started out with funny humor and a fantastic comic-booky vibe, but this was unfortunately lost in the melo of it all. I really struggled to understand the motivation of all the characters. For me, they all seemed nonsensical. WAAAAAH
Pros: Secretary Ko was unbelieveably adorkable. He and the set design really stole the show for me.
Cons: Quite difficult to understand what is going on, and I think that it might not be a language barrier thing… So many of the plot threads were just really badly though out and badly executed. Plus, there were entire episodes with just melo staring and flash-backing. Lee Dong Wook did a good job with hilarious overacting which fit the show well, but he looked really tired.
