    Okay But Far From Great

    This show is okay but far from great. Actress Jin-ah Won and and actor Kim Seok-woo are excellent thought. If they were then what's the problem? Too many other romances, stories and character's issues going on. So many that it detracts from the main character's romance. It was hard to keep track who loved who, who hated who. There is just not enough time given to the main characters' story and romance. On the positive side the show does give us an interesting look into the world of a cosmetics company and its employees. I have o admit that I liked the ending. Korean shows (Kgramas) are known for their non-definitive open ending. This show at least shows what happens with the main characters.

    Needed more romance

    This was a one-sided love mostly throughout so there isn't much romance throughout the first half of the series - thank goodness for Rowan who played Chae Hyun-seung because he is the one that made the series watchable. There could never be such a nice guy in the world anywhere and I was so wishing that the main lead female could have been just a little nicer to him please .....so frustrating throughout how awful she treated him. By the end, I was really wishing he would just walk away. So I would have liked to rate it higher but I can't and all my stars go to Rowan who was the perfect actor to play this role of the handsome nicely perfect boyfriend and no one could have done better.

    Excellent drama perfectly done

    Beautiful drama overall. Rowoon has done a splendid job. He has huge potential and talent and all of it shows in his beautifully played character in this drama. I wish him best of luck for his future endeavors and can't wait to see him soon in his upcoming projects. Saw him for the first time in this drama and am already a huge fan.. Best of luck Rowoon. You've got all that it takes!

    Loved the story the rest of the cast and the direction.

    Attractive couple, characters and story is lacking

    You have an attractive couple but the writing is lackluster, which creates lack of chemistry in the leads. The female lead's main character is too aloof. She's almost even joyless. The problems in this show I blame on the director and writing, not the actors or actresses.

    Jae-Shin, her boss is treated unfairly by everyone. He doesn't score many points for hiding his engagement but I feel like his parents were awful, the chairman was awful to him , and even his best friend and fiance was absolutely awful to him. But he was also awful to himself. He was a social climber who allowed people to walk all over him When he walked away it was too late.

    A hidden gem!!!

    So, this is the going to be my first ever review because the movie was so Good. First, for those people who like slow romances and butterflies, this is it. I don't understand how people think that the movie is not romantic enough. Second, for some people complaining about the female lead, I believe she did her best act as a "sunbae". I don't think anyone else would have done better. Third, Rowoon will set your standard high GIRLS!!!! He is so caring and everything that a woman wants (imo). Finally, it covers many topics and is a very realistic movie; marriage issues, long distance relationship, teamwork, love, friendship, everything is there. I can rant about this movie all day long but it is a masterpiece and I wish it received a better recognition.
