[I honestly don't remember much, I wrote this review in my notes 3 years ago]
Unlike most people, I take it for what it is - an exuberant early 2010s romantic comedy drama. And honestly, I found it quite enjoyable with the lame jokes and dry humour. I watched this to see the chemistry between Lee Chung-ah and Lee Ki-woo (IRL couple) [FUTURE EDIT: rip @ this being a 3 year old review] and was not left disappointed in terms of the scenes they had. BUT I was hella disappointed (even though i definitely anticipated it) that their characters did not end up together. I love Jung Il-woo but his character was not it in this drama. Cha Chi-soo (the male lead) is the most stuck up and annoying character and did not deserve to end up with the female lead. Removing biases towards the couples aside, I'm pretty sure I would have still liked the second lead male over the first male lead. Totem pole boss was kind, nice, and attentive while Cha Chi-soo was a rude spoiled little brat. I'm sad that not enough people acknowledge how much better the second lead male was. However, despite this disappointment, I am at least glad that the female lead mutually had feelings for the second male lead for majority of the drama. I really liked this aspect of the drama because you don't really see that often. But I would like to argue that this does make it somewhat unrealistic and illogical that she ended up with Cha Chi-soo (but i should preface that this COULD have been due to the fact that I only watched the wife and hubby couple scenes but I still watched other aspects of the drama tho so I still think it's a valid argument I have). I give it a fairly high rating than what I would usually because I am in love with the chemistry between wife and totem pole hubby boss.
