If you are looking for a light fluffy unapologetically cheesy drama this is it.
During the holidays I avoided watching anything heavy and went for pure fluffy ,chessy fun and this was definitely the right choice. If you are looking for a rom-com that will have you all giddy and giggly whenever the Main couple is on the screen then this is definitely it.The two main leads had great chemistry and they were cute and adorable together. The writers did a good job showing and making it distinctive that the ML was also falling for his secretary, who is the actual FL and not for her as Veronica Park. Dramas that have this kind of plot line usually fail at this department (Yes Oh My Ghostess I’m looking at you)
The ML was such a pleasant deviation form the cold/emotionless CEO we are used to. He was so cute and sometimes childlike and thanks to the actor he did not came across as annoying or irritating. But I also found him brilliant in his most emotional scenes, he really made you feel for him.
In the same lane is Veronika Park. She was such hard character to get right and get people to like and root for her, so kudos to the actress for making her come across in such way!
The FL was also a breath of fresh air, not only to the weak and spineless FL we usually get but also to the doormat secretary. She was not afraid to stand up to herself and ask for what she though she deserved.
I also enjoyed the fact that upon the ML choosing and forgiving the FL, she didn’t change her looks and actually the ML liked and fell for her with her normal looks. Usually dramas tend to give the FL a short of makeover first so that the ML would start to take notice.
The female friendship and the support among the secretaries was amazing and something you unfortunately very rarely see in a K-drama.
As much as I enjoyed the drama in general there were a few things I did not like. For one I did not like the 2nd ML. He was too wooden and blunt and honestly did not feel his relationship with Veronica.
When it comes to the plot, at first for me it was clear as to why the secretary did what she did. She was someone who always put others first and took care of them, her boss, her brother, her sister drowning her own wishes and desires. For once she saw the opportunity to be taken care of, she saw the person who always ignored her to finally “see” her and treat her the way she always treated him, but then it just took her too long to tell him what she did to the point that it was kind of uncomfortable to watch.
Another plotline I did not quite like was at the beginning when the FL was insisting that she got fired. She wasn’t. She had a one-year contract that was not renewed and although it sucks it is not firing and she knew it was coming. Those were the terms she signed up for.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this drama and I will definitely recommend it if you are looking for a light fluffy unapologetically cheesy drama.

Non gli avrei dato due lire e invece...
Il titolo non mente, era lì fermo nella mia lista ormai da più di un anno.Improvvisamente l'altra sera cercavo qualcosa con episodi non più lunghi di mezz'ora e l'ho visto. Ho iniziato a guardarlo senza interesse ma poi la rivelazione. Era una sorta di cenerentola dei drama con episodi brevi.
La storia è carina, nessun capolavoro, ma molto simpatica. Ha tutti gli elementi che ti tengono un po' appiccicata allo schermo: il colpevole, la coppia segretaria sfigate e capo ricco ma con i suoi problemi esistenziali, la madre di lui ovviamente acida e antipatica come da copione, la ricca, l'amico meno famoso e bello di lui.
Alla fine ho finito tutto con un sorrisetto compiaciuto sulle labbra, perché sì mi è piaciuto.
Lui è stato molto bravo, con quella faccia da prendere a sberle a tratti ma mi ha incuriosita così ho cercato altri suoi lavori.
Se cercate un drama leggero, che possiate vedere senza fare notte fonda fa al caso vostro,

Trash acting and story
At the beginning, I thought this was an exciting story, like office romance stories in general, but I was wrong. I don't like male actors and their acting is bad. I don't know why I feel cringe when I see his acting. Shouldn't he be acting authoritative and firm? When he's the director of a big company, he's actually like a stupid child. especially with the strange story that ML was stabbed by a knife and fell and suffered from the disease of not being able to recognize faces?? what is this rubbish story. Worst drama I've watched this year.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
I can say that i really liked the chemistry between the leads but I really couldn't go on after the 10th episode, yeah, a good plot in general but everything was soooo slow that bored me in really no time.
Is a good drama to watch when there's nothing else or when you want something really light but absolutely not my cup of tea...

Desisti de assistir na metade do segundo episódio assim que soube que a protagonista ia mentir e manipular seu chefe que estava com cegueira facial. Não sei como acham isso aceitável e engraçado, e percebi também que vários personagens eram mal caráter, achei ridículo também a irmã da protagonista mentir para ela mesmo vendo que a protagonista se matava de tanto trabalhar para dar o melhor para ela. Já imaginava que seria um dorama meio polêmico por causa da época mas tem coisas que não dá para simplesmente ignorar. ¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
However, I keep on watching this because of the bright mood. I believe there would be something refreshing about this drama^ ^
Other than that, I think the director doesn't really direct the cast well. Because they don't seem like acting natural not because they can't. Something is a bit off.
