I'd like to begin by saying, the description here on Imdb is very incorrect and misleading.
And this drama is severely underrated.
This is nothing like your office romance goes, especially between boss and secretary, so to compare it to What's wrong with secretary Kim and Her Private Life would be absolutely incorrect.
As your usual tropes of office romance goes, this one avoids most of them very nearly and refreshingly, first of all there's no secrecy involved in the romance, like I'm boss and you are secretary and no one should know about us etc, this drama doesn't even bother to address with this silly trope which honestly has been stretched too far by every other Kdramas.
As the description says ML is "heart of stone", is far from truth, on the contrary I can't remember previously when I saw in a kdrama, a ML who's rich, a boss and is not flashy or rude or arrogant etc. ML is a soft hearted character, has patience, chuckled and smiles like a kid, doesn't get angry at ridiculous things, even when facing adversities and betrayals, doesn't go around acting like man child and blaming everyone around him, is true to his feelings. It was such a refreshing vibe, absolutely loved it.
And the FL is absolute love, works hard, doesn't act smirky, again doesn't blame anyone else for her wrongdoings or runaway or quit like I have seen in several other dramas.
The chemistry between the two is amazing, it was like watching two best friends falling for each other, or realising how much they wanna be with each other more than anything else. It was beautiful, and both actors did fabulous job in their roles. Even though they officially become a couple just 2 episodes before finale. Their whole journey to that point was nothing less than watching two people in love with each other.
I also absolutely love how 90% of the show and screentime goes to the main leads as the core revolves around them, and even the side stories and subplots are related to them and doesn't distract us from the main plot, even the second leads romance was good enough.
My favourite part of the show was having no love triangles, absolutely none. I'm tired of kdramas stretching out the love triangle thing so much, two man going bonkers for the FL. This show kicked out at that trope with ease and I absolutely love them for that.
This kdrama will remain in my top 5 kdramas of all time, ost and bgm wasn't that remarkable. But it made me binge watch every episode, even though one can predict the story, it was beautiful and emotional enough with lovable leads as to make me wanna keep watching all of it unfold.
Thank you for making this show, and I hope more similar ones are made.
