I had a lot of fun watching this drama but after a couple of chaebol dramas (including this one) I realised that they don't work for me, even though Ji Heon wasn't super annoying (well, he wass a bit annoying but not because of his money and position). Anyways, the characters were pretty likeable and I really liked the friendships that were formed NOT THE ROMANCE. It's not that none of the couples didn't have chemistry but, especially the secondary couple, they felt a bit forced and only necessary because ''this is a Korean drama and someone needs to be in a romantic relationship''. I still recommend it because it lived up to the expectations that I somehow created in my head after watching the Running Man episode where Choi Kang Hee and Ji Sung appeared to promote the drama (the episode is also called 'Protect the Boss' hehehehe).
I saw the promotional poster for this drama and I read the synopsis and thought: "wow, I'm really going to enjoy this". I started watching it and the first couple of episodes were so good so I was convinced that I was going to finish it very quickly. One day I searched the title on Twitter and found many negative reviews as well as tweets of people saying that they had dropped it. At the time, I didn't understand why. NOW I DO. I genuinely thought this was going to be at first a bit dramatic story but then it would turn out a fluffy drama but but but ???? You would think (at least I would) I am that an over-dramatic plot means that there area lot of things going on but nothing ever really happens??? I'm sorry, I don't really know what I'm saying. I'm just too frustrated because I started watching this drama in January and I haven't been able to finish it because it's just so boring and the supporting characters are soooo annoying (what's wrong with that second lead? I want to punch him on the face) and selfish forb the wrong reasons (that's not being in love, CEO, THAT'S BEING OBSESSIVE).
I don't know if any of this makes sense but please. Just. Don't. Watch it. I'm sure there are far better love stories out there. And it's not even the actors and actresses' ffaul, it's the damn plot that's boring and doesn't make much sense.
The plot seemed interesting and I like both Park Shin Hye and Hyun Bin + it was partially filmed in Spain (yay!) and I've been to Granada, Girona and Barcelona multiple times, so I was familiar with the setting. I was SO excited to watch it, ever since the news came out, but somehow it was...boring? slow? it felt like nothing was going on and there were way too many time jumps and I just don't know. It wasn't for me and I didn't think it was worth pushing it more because that's what I had been doing since like episode 5. It had everything (minus the romance, although a drama doesn't need romance for me to enjoy it and also I didn't really see the romantic chemistry between the leads, but that's just me) so I should have enjoyed it. But I didn't lol. Definitely check it out and see it for yourself.
