A cute, fluffy no drama, drama.
This is a pleasant little drama, but only mildly. The beginning is very slow but I think it picked up in the final four episodes or so, in the sense that the acting seemed to improve and the stories became a bit more compelling.This drama was probably created as a vehicle for the two lead actors to star opposite each other, so it lacked substance somewhat. However the two leads are cute together and I appreciate the fact that they portray a sensible relationship with good communication between them unlike other dramas where couples forget how to talk to each other and ask questions.
The lead relationship is very painstaking in that the couple's interactions are awkward and a bit cringe, there's no natural spontaneity or spark between them; I bemoan the fact that a couple who had such great chemistry and intensity in another drama (Goblin), failed to bring it out in this one, I'll put it down to inadequate directing.
I enjoyed the supporting cast and their relationships and interactions, they were very pleasant to watch.
The OST is very good and fits the drama well, the song "Make it Count" really stuck with me as I found myself singing along whenever it played.
Overall a pleasant drama for when you want to watch something stress free with minimal irritating factors.

ACTING/CAST: Oh gosh, the only reason I even watched it while it was ongoing (I have a rule to watch drama when it is already finished) is because of Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na, I loved their role in Goblin and I was sooooo excited to see them again pairing up and it did not disappoint! I even loved the other couple too, they were very funny!
MUSIC: I soooo love this song especially by Wendy What if Love! It's on my spotify and that is the first thing I play when I drive, hahahha!
REWATCH VALUE: Well! I would defo rewatch this drama if I'm craving something romantic and funny! It is light hearted and not heavy at all!
OVERALL: 9.5/10! It was a good watch!

This is not it
After finishing watching the entirety of this drama, I say don't bother with this one.Don't delude yourself thinking this couple will be similar to the Goblin one because it's way different.
The show is cheesy, with cringy scenes (I've lost count of the many times I cringed), some annoying side characters (the CEO of the law firm as an example), the male lead is monotonous and the female lead is childish and spoiled especially in the beginning (two scenes in the first episodes were frustrating), they act like teenagers in love when they're grown adults and that's a big no.
For me this drama was too uneventful and full of cheese but if your into excessive lovey dovey stuff you may like this, don't let me stop you.

Powerful Chemistry!
I’m such a fan of Sunny and Grimreaper of Goblin. And like other shippers, I also hope that they will be given a chance to have their own series, which happened!I’ve read this an adaption based on a web novel. The story centers on a very famous actress played by Yoo In-na who got involved in a drug scandal which causes her career downfall. She chanced upon a script and decided she wants to make a comeback. But the scriptwriter will only allow her if she will be willing to undergo a character study by working in a law firm since the role she wants is an attorney. The law firm owner assigned her to Lee Dong-wook who is the most famous lawyer in the firm but a very cold one. I don’t know how unique the plot if, but I find it different still and refreshing.
I feel that this drama was indeed tailored made for them. In-na is very cute whenever she has a scene. She never exaggerate in any of her scene. Same thing for Dong-wook. I love how he can be cold one minute and the next minute he will turn into boyfriend goal. I love how he speaks very seriously then he will suddenly say the sweetest thing to In-na. They have a very, very good chemistry. Audience will never be disappointed with several kissing scenes they have. I mean really several. I love how they act as a couple.
Though Dong-wook is pictured cold, he did change a bit when he realised that he likes In-na. I like it they didn’t enforce a drastic change in his character. Supporting cast is not very distracting as well. Meaning, they have their own stories but they don’t overshadow the main one which is good. Sometimes too many side stories could be very distracting and somehow they lost focus on main one. So far I’m enjoying it and worth every episode! OST wise though none catch my attention so far.

This one starts out with the actress Oh Yeon Seo taking on a 3 month role as a legal secretary to get experience for an upcoming drama she has been cast in. Her lawyer boss is forced to take her on and initially sparks fly, he comes off as a somewhat impetuous child and rather mis-treats her without any training expecting her to understand their telephone system and other processes. Yeon-Seo looks, sounds and acts like someone who has no life experience having been an actor for her entire life, bubbly, weak and essentially childish.
Yeon-Seo's character partly develops but is also partly revealed to be much more than you will stereotypically assign her at the start. You see some of the challenges that face actors, and that she's actually led quite a challenging life through much adversity and yet remains positive. Someone who starts out looking like a weak character, transpires to be quite a strong one. The scene where she's waiting with part excitement and part fear for the reviews of the drama to start coming in, along with comments from viewers, reminds us all that actors are just regular people who are hurt and rewarded by the things people say, just like anyone else.
The cast were great, I particularly appreciated that Lee Dong Wook's character wasn't as rigid as some ML's - often I see them delivering purposefully flat performances at the start but then as the drama continues, their attempts to loosen up really don't sit well - in this case LDW looks perfectly natural as he opens up and begins to smile more.
Side characters were all good too. The wacky characters of Choi and Dan were fun to watch as they stumble around their lives.
Music was great, several good tracks to enjoy when I pull the OST up later.
Overall a really heart warming drama with a positive note, there is the obligatory "stupid breakup" but they don't drag it out too long. I really appreciated that there are one or two times where "breakup-inducing-misunderstandings" could have happened but through simple communication they are easily handled.
Yes this one is full of cliches but... they worked, so...
Definitely worth a watch and makes for a good re-watch too, there's no real surprises to be spoiled on further re-watches, you can just sit back and enjoy the fantastic chemistry between the characters over and over :)

On the other hand, cast is really great not only the main characters I also love support characters, acting is great too.The way they dressed the main characters are also appreciable.

Soo boring and most irritating
This is worst drama in Korean after a long time.I didn’t knew that this kind of worst dramas exist in Korean also. Title, story and script all are meaningless. This drama is neither professionally concentrated nor romantic. So many scenes are meaningless and immature. In each and every scene tried to make comedies even in serious situations. In starting episodes, even the ML is little cold but he was dignified and matured but after falling to love he becomes full childish and his childish acting is horrible. His childish expressions looks like mentally retard for me.
First few episodes I really enjoyed both the story and comedies but I got bored because I felt like the director always concentrated to portray comedies only even in serious or life and death situations. This is law profession oriented drama but didn’t shown any interesting or challenging cases. Within 10-15 minutes cases solved and again shift to immature comedies.
Most irritating one is always empty talking and talking, FL praising ML and ML praising FL. Repeatedly same dialogues and same expressions. I am not blaming the cast because they have done a great job but poor script and direction.
The most frustrating part is FL character, she was in deep love yet she scared of being caught by public and paparazzi even she is not in a market. Even though ML helps FL in all her worst times but When ML is in trouble she refused to call or meet to comfort him because they were in break up but only she keeps on telling that she still has feelings on him. In the whole drama(except last minutes) she never show her love and affection (like she can sacrifice everything for him) except in words in front of him.

Like most people, I watched this after Goblin hoping for Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na to have a more fulfilling romance.While most of the cast performed well, the lacklustre writing brought down the score considerably. There is barely any semblance of plot, and once you see a plot point that you are hoping that will be elaborated on, it just cuts off.
For example, Oh Yun Seo's stalker case abruptly ends with little confrontation. Kim Se Won got back together with Yeo Reum without much story development, it just happens abruptly. For a romcom to not handle romance properly isn't exactly something new I suppose.
This drama tried to combine action, romance, and comedy but unfortunately it was done poorly. I would not recommend watching this unless you are a fan of the cast. Yoo In Na performed extremely well and while I am also a fan of Lee Dong Wook, his one dimensional character did not bring out the best in his acting skills.

The slow pace that seemed to me like the drama's strongest point at first ended up becoming its weakest..
I really enjoyed the first episodes a lot, the romance was very cute and realistic and it didn't have most of the cliché scenes, I also really appreciated how they weren't too dramatic but instead had a realistic and warm approach to the main couple's relationship. However, that was it.. there was no real story, nothing to keep me interested in watching the rest of the drama. The lack of events made me lose interest rather quickly and I ended up relying on the FF button A LOT..
The only reason I kept watching was because the actors did a phenomenal job with their acting and I just wanted to watch THEM.. their performance really was great and it made me unable to drop the drama..
Basically, if you wanna watch something light that's good for killing some time without any emotional investment, then this is a good drama for that..
