I'll be honest, I watched this because of Park Seo Joon (after he finally swayed me in Fight My Way). The thought of a noona romance doesn't usually draw me in, but I had had this one on my watch list for a while. I thought the story was going along pretty well up until episode 6 (when the ex showed back up) through about episode 12. Then it turned from romantic comedy into a a mopey sad show where the leads are pining and crying all the time. I kept watching, waiting for it to pick the pace and the story back up (because the romance started with a bang), but by the time it did I had lost a considerable amount of interest and it never seemed to get back to where it started. The personalities of the leads had shifted somehow also, and it felt more forced and awkward.
Park Seo Joon was great in this role. I don't feel like I'm being biased, because I didn't really care for him at all until recently. He had a good character to play in this show and was charming in the role. I wasn't quite sold on Uhm Jung Hwa for her role, though. I felt that she was a bit miscast as I kept feeling that the age difference was too big between them. If it had been a different actress, it may not have felt quite so vast even if the gap was the same. I also don't feel like I am biased against her, as I actually enjoyed her in the last show I watched her in (even though the show itself was disappointing). I enjoyed the actors that played Soo Chul, Na Rae, Min Gu, the mom, and the boss. However, I disliked Shi Hoon (can't pin down a specific reason, but there are a few) and Eun Chae (just not expressive enough). Park Seo Joon was really the shining, charismatic element to this show, followed by the actor playing Soo Chul.
The music was average, nothing stand out. I watched this on Drama Fever, so I don't know if it was particular to this platform, but there was an annoying little mid-show pause where it showed UJH's character with the name of the show and a little bell sound. Like when a show pauses for a commercial and comes back. It really took me out of the story every time it happened.
It was an okay watch, but nothing really stand out or special in any way to me. I also felt let down by the ending as it felt a little bit open. I think the main characters deserved a better wrap up. I won't rewatch this.
