This one was a cute, light-hearted, fluffy drama to watch. It has cute moments that will make your heart flutter and you'll grow to cherish this drama because of how utterly innocent it is. Although the story might seem similar to that of What's Wrong With Secretary Kim, let me tell you it is not. If you've had a long, tiring and stressful few days, this drama is perfect for you to relax and rest your mind.
1. Cast and Acting:
The strongest part of this drama for me, apart from the beautiful OSTs, is the perfect casting. You get to witness the dynamic pairing of Lee Dong Woook and Yoo In Na again after they were first seen on-screen together in Goblin. Lee Dong Wook plays the role of a cold, detached attorney Kwon Jung Rok while Yoo In Na plays the role of an actress Oh Yeon Seo (Oh Jin Sim) who works as Jung Rok's secretary for a duration of 3 months. The PiChi couple makes the drama enjoyable to watch with their perfect chemistry and heartfelt moments. Their relationship evolves in a healthy way, which I like a lot. There are no unnecessary secrets, twisted lies or exaggerated childhood traumas which prove insignificant as the drama progresses. Even though they act like teenagers in love, I like how they've portrayed an innocent love between them throughout the drama. The side characters have also got their own stories and love interests, which has been inculcated in the drama exceptionally well. My favourite side couple would be Choi Yoon Hyuk and Dan Moon Hee, with their contract dating and constant bickering. I enjoyed CEO Yeon's character very much too. The bromance between Jung Rok and Kim Se Won is bound to make you smile.
2. Plot:
The storyline is a cliche one with a cold boss and a naive secretary who fall in love with each other, kind of like in WWWSK. I was not expecting much from the drama and for the first 2 episodes I was correct for not expecting much. But from episode 3, the characters started shedding their cliche roles and the character development surprised me. The plot started thickening too, introducing the Im Yun Hui case and the scandal which led to Yeon Seo's hiatus from the industry.
Although the drama is under the genre of law, I felt as if the part where it was supposed to be a law drama wasn't stressed enough. Apart from the Im Yun Hui case, there were no major cases for the drama to be classified under the law genre. If you're looking for some intense court scenes and major cases, this drama is not for you.
I think that the scandal which was the reason for Yeon Seo's break was not given enough importance in the drama. If there would've been more of a backstory to the scandal, maybe the drama would've been more serious and engaging for some viewers.
3. Music:
The OSTs! I absolutely love the OSTs for this drama! My favourite would be Make It Count by Chen (EXO). You will find yourself playing it on loop, trust me.
4. Rewatch Value:
I will definitely come back to this drama for its light-hearted moments and fun characters which made me fall in love with them.
Overall, if you want a fluffy, no-stress, happy drama with cute leads, this is the one for you. Happy watching! ;)
