I tried to love Lucky Romance. The characters were likable, the plot was entertaining and reasonably paced, and the story was very quirky. I only had one problem with this drama and that was my dislike of Shim Bo Nui.

I understand that dramas are meant to make the watchers emotional, but Shim Bo Nui is honestly one of the most annoying characters I have ever had the displeasure of watching. I found her to be very manipulaive, selfish, and hypocritical. I was constantly infuriated by her selfish actions. She only thought about herself and would do things that would worry the people aroud her with any remorse.

I could not support her. I found her and her extreme superstitions annoying. She was constantly doing reckless things. For example, around the beginning of the series she would go around the office looking for a tiger while people were working. Her constantly fooling around at work made me reject the characterization of her being hardwaorking. Her constant lies (especially when she basically threatened Soo Ho into fake dating her) were alarming. I know I'm looking too much into this, but I can't help it.

I found myself only watching the show because I liked Soo Ho. I know that disliking a show because of one annoying character (that many others don't agree is annoying) is kind of extreme but she ruined the whole experience for me.

I don't think I'll ever watch this show again but don't get me wrong, it's a good show. This is just one of those cases where one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.
