It may be too much to expect much originality from most Korean romantic comedies but this one plumbs remarkable depths of stupidity and charmlessness. Third rate characters, lightly scooped from the standard recipe book, tossed carelessly, and then served up without a hint of shame at its ability to waste the viewer's time. The hero's grandfather, the heroine's co-"workers", the idiotic would-be girlfriend of the hero's right hand man, each more annoying than the last. Irritating KDrama tropes, woefully executed, fall over themselves and land flatter than a pancake that has just been run over by a steamroller. Our leads are completely conventional, the hero a typical competent businessman who is heir to a wealthy but typically controlling grandfather who wants him to marry and therefore sends him on blind dates with "suitable" candidates; the heroine, a put upon office worker who attracts his attention, at first as a decoy for his grandfather and then, inevitably as a genuine love interest. Is there anything new, even just a tiny bit, about any of this?
KDramas are full of these rich man-poor girl stories. They rarely break new ground, but this one is just an unpardonable retread. If you are fortunate enough to read this review before giving up precious moments of your life on the series, move on. Literally any other show you pick should be an improvement.
