Started strong but soon fizzled out; kinda picks up again at episode 16

For the most part I thought this drama was good, but on reflection it lacked the effect of keeping me gripped.

I feel like it started off strong but soon fizzled out. It was another typical office romance with nothing particularly special about it. I feel like the main difference between this drama and other ones is that the romance was focused more heavily from the male lead's perspective.

Don't get me wrong, I liked both the male and female lead as they were nice, charming and cute etc., however, because they were mundane and nothing was particularly special about them, it didn't make it as interesting to watch.

I think the casting crew knew what they were doing when they chose Rowoon for the male lead. Ngl, I probably wouldn't have had it on high priority if he wasn't in it.

I had a really hard time caring about Jae-shin and Hyo-joo's relationship. Initially I did think Jae-shin was awful and like, "how could he do that to poor Song-ah," but once you find out some backstory it all starts to make sense. I ended up feeling sorry for the dude.

I liked both of Hyung-seung's sisters. I was glad when Ji-seung coupled with Jae-woon, and he was so cute in the final episode! Almost had me crying.

Hyung-seung's other sister, Yeon-seung had to go through a lot and I felt bad for her. Ha-eun was cute and such a smart little cookie. It was sad to see her upset about her parents divorce, and it was awkward with her Dad.

The final episode was my favourite and most enjoyable to watch. We got to see a whole bunch of fluff which was really cute! However, the every ending left me a little underwhelmed. I was hoping to see an actual wedding but instead we just saw them trying on their wedding outfits.

Acting was great, good cast - I liked most characters.

I don't imagine I would be reaching to watch this one again, at least not anytime soon.
