Such a weird drama. I'm a sucker for office-based romances and Park Seo-Joon, and I do enjoy Hwang Jung Eum as an actress, so my expectations were over the moon for this one, but the writing is so bad I don't even know what gave me the strength to finish it. Probably because the direction and the cast are great and they do wonder to save this, which is also the reason why I'm giving this a positive rating too.

But the writing... I don't even know how to begin. There are a lot of gross behavior from most of the characters and it's never addressed in a proper way. ML seems like two different persons throughout the drama, the way his character is built doesn't actually showcases any changes towards his rude behavior, at least not in a believable way. He didn't have to be as unpleasant as he is, even if we consider the 'reason' behind his actions. Then out of nowhere he is a loving and caring person, and we are supposed to accept the mistreatment he delivered towards everyone as something okay??? And of course, the problematic behind the FL being considered 'ugly' just by having frizzy hair and freckles is indeed terrible, and the way things go is as predictable as you may expect.

Overall, 1/3 of this drama is kind of unbearable and annoying, 2/3 is kinda cute and sad and 3/3 is beautiful but a little boring. I don't think I'll re-watch this ever and I don't exactly recommend either.
