Sweet & fluffy

What this drama lacks in depth, it makes up in its tender moments.

This drama is just one of those sweet stories of two people falling in love and wanting to become better for the other. Kim JongChan is a bit of a standoff-ish, work-a-holic team manager who everybody acknowledges is great at what he does but isn't great at the interpersonal stuff. Woo SeungHyun is an enthusiastic intern ready to learn and grow on the job. I enjoyed watching their romance and their characters shine.

Most times I say that these types of shows needed more episodes to flesh out their characters, and while the characters were a bit two-dimensional, I didn't feel the need to know more about them. I liked that we didn't have multiple couples and that the show focused on the main couple - it allowed them to breathe and grow in a way that would have felt rushed otherwise.

While there was a bit of drama, it wasn't really super high-stakes. There was a bit of jealousy and insecurity on Woo SeungHyun's part - especially this being his first relationship - but I think it was written well and that Kim JongChan handled it pretty well.

This wasn't a super in-depth story with incredibly emotional plot lines - it was just a simple, happy, getting-to-know-each-other romance. And that's what I liked about it. A lot of stories now try to over-complicate things when they don't need to be and luckily this story didn't do that. It had realistic stressors in the relationship (adjusting to the other's needs, dealing with jealousy and insecurity, etc) and the couple's tender moments just had me smiling from ear to ear.

Don't expect this drama to be intense, dramatic and/or passionate. Just focus on the sweet stuff and I think you'll end up enjoying it just like I did.

P.S. I do wish we'd had a jump forward in time showing the company's success, but it's okay without it :)
