My Review:
After watching a lot of suspense genre, I felt I was in the mood of watching a romcom and Park Min Young and Park Seo Joon looks like a good combination. I was expecting to enjoy it a lot and be able to have fun along the ride. Unfortunately, I was kinda disappointed, not because it is not feel good k-drama but because it is too shallow for my taste.
So, What do I Like About this K-Drama?
(1) Both Park Seo Joon as Lee Young Joon and Park Min Young as Kim Mi So have delivered their roles well. Their banter and exchanges are amusing to watch.
(2) It is a feel good k-drama to the core. Besides the kidnapping issue from the past, it doesn’t have serious conflicts that will make one feel down or sad.
(3) I enjoy the personality of Kim Hye Ok as Mrs. Choi. She makes me smile especially on how much a shopaholic she is.
(4) I like the OST.
What I do Not Like About this K-Drama?
Although, I’m a romcom girl, I didn’t totally enjoy this because as I’ve mentioned the story is just too shallow for me. It becomes borderline ridiculous and after awhile a bit boring. I was able to stand it until Episode 6 but after that I just went straight to its final episode.
Would I recommend this K-Drama? Not Really.
