"Go Ho's Starry Night" is the kind of romcom you can binge in one day, which was exactly what I was looking for, and exactly what I did. The story is lighthearted, and the episodes are super short, which is how this drama stays entertaining when there isn't much to the plot.

The drama centers around Go Ho, played by Kwon Yoo Ri, who's work life and love life become one big mess when her mean boss has her moved to another team where her ex boyfriend will be her new boss. (AWKWARD!) I thought Yoo Ri was ok in the role, but Go Ho is supposedly a super aggressive and impulsive character, which I don't feel like she was able to pull off. She was likable enough to keep me interested, but not a standout leading lady. The character also analyzes everything with a star value system, which was cute at times, but honestly didn't add much to the plot.

To me, the real MVP of this drama is Kim Young Kwang's smile as the "mean" boss. Even though the mean boss is a kdrama romance staple, there's always the danger of coming across as too abusive and dysfunctional. That's not the case here, and I even feel like maybe his temper didn't seem bad enough to warrant his reputation. His chemistry with Yoo Ri is also the highlight of the show, and I think that is also thanks to his smile. There were enough cute moments to give me exactly what I was looking for in a rom com, although without much depth. My one petty complaint is that he was in desperate need of chapstick for the majority of the show.

The rest of the characters range from quirky and funny to just bland and average. Most characters are played to a stereotype, so don't look for much depth there either. There are also a lot of fun, and very random, cameos in this drama.

The story was least impressive part of this drama. It was predictable, simplistic, repetitive, and definitely cliché, but because the episodes are so short it was just enough to keep me interested, and keep me watching. I did think some of the subplots were unnecessary, like the rivalry with her weird brother, which I just didn't get. I also hated the random guy who harassed the female staff. The office drama was funny at times, but there was nothing really interesting about what they were doing. I wish they spent more time building up the ex boyfriend character, so that he would be a much stronger second lead. Instead he had no real chemistry with Go Ho, so it made his character pretty bland.

Overall I liked this drama, even if my rating may seem pretty low. I found it looking for a romcom similar to "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim", which I am currently watching, and I can see why this one was recommended. If you are in a very romcom mood, but don't have the time to commit to a major drama, I would definitely recommend this. Think of it like a drama snack, not a full meal.

I can't give it 5 stars, but even an imperfect drama can be the perfect one to watch sometimes.
