Nothing revolutionary but still good.


I liked the first half of the drama, then at the second half it kinda fell flat for me with the whole plotting and scheming. It had a really big potential l to become a stand out in the rom-com genera.

I have to say tho that NGJ/LSA best scenes together were the bickering scene. I really enjoyed those and also the first episodes that focused on her getting revenge. Pretty fricking funny and clever. The thing I liked the most was NGJ's whole shtick about having amnesia, it was a tongue in cheek jab at the overused trope that made sense and felt right to the character of NGJ.

And speaking of him...Kim Jae Wook must have some pretty bad back pain from carrying the show. His acting was close to perfect and it really helped Krystal to shine even though she isn't at his level of acting.

BUT I have to say that that NGJ's whole redemption arc and apology marathon was really annoying. He basically harassed and abused most of the people around him and through the power of a simple apology everything is fine and dandy. What kind of twisted Cinderella story is that?

One thing I have to give them a lot of deserved praise is the clothing and make-up. All of the cast looked impeccable . NGJ's suits and casual clothing were so good I couldn't take my eyes off him. Especially that purple suit. Also Lee Shin A's Jessica Rabbit style gown was perfection! And her office wardrobe was the perfect mix between granny chic and casual office with just enough flair.

Maybe I'm an angst fan but I wished that Lee Shin A's illness didn't just disappeared with a convenient misdiagnosis. I think it would've made their love story even better and more intense as I felt it got a little bit boring and flat. They kind of almost fell in that cliche formulaic type of drama couple towards the end.

I would have loved to see Lee Shin A family and Chu Ok Hee /Lee Soo Ho have more screen time (their chemistry was also better than the main couple's imo. Their aegyo was so cute I almost had a nose bleed hehe).

It was a nice drama to watch, it wasn't a BAD drama per se but it didn't blow my socks off. It could've so much better if the second half of the story didn't get so chaotic and weird in a bad way.
