    A "Otaku" romance

    The story revolves around a "otaku" CEO who have to hide his preferences and pose as a serious e hard CEO. His problem is his team leader who is a pragmatic woman who doesn't fear nobody and is the culprit for hers superiors fired. At the beginning he tries to fire her but soon he realise she is a very competent team leader and began to work together. The iteration of the two is hilarious and the way she finds by little the preferences of the CEO is very well written.

    Another good Korean series to recomend and they become the leader in this genre.

    I watch a lot the american and britsh series and there is not a series so god in the genre.

    Effortless Chemistry

    I was honestly so curious about how the chemistry would work between the two of them, but after just the first episode, I was completely hooked! The concept is such eye candy-it's fun, engaging, and just the right mix of sweetness and charm. As for Choi Hyun Wook, I've mostly seen him play student roles, so watching him take on the character of a company director was a nice change. It's a more serious role, but he absolutely nailed it. What I love most is how he balances his character's serious side with his childlike, more playful side. He brings such a natural, effortless energy to it, and honestly, he's so funny! There were so many moments where I just couldn't stop laughing. His performance is really complex, and he just makes it look so easy.

    Moon Ga Young, too, is incredible. You can tell she's a true actress-knowing she's way older than him, she holds her own so well against Hyun Wook. She never feels too mature for him, and they really complement each other.

    Despite the age gap, the chemistry between him and Moon Ga Young feels so natural and sweet. There are these little moments when you can see Hyun Wook blushing around her, and it's just too cute! It makes their connection even more genuine. Honestly, you should check out the BTS-it's a total eye candy, especially seeing him blush when they're filming. As for the show itself, the plot isn't heavy, but that's exactly what makes it so enjoyable. It's light, relaxing, and has this easy charm that makes it perfect to unwind with.

    Subpar writing

    Despite the talent of the lead actors (who have proven to be amazing in other shows) this drama is an unfortunate disappointment, entirely due to the writing. The lack of chemistry between them is palpable, but it's hardly their fault when they're given such insufferable characters to work with. The female lead is clearly intended to embody an "independent woman," but the writer's interpretation of independence is painfully misguided. Instead of crafting a strong, self-sufficient character, they've given us someone who is loud, rude, inconsiderate, and thoroughly unpleasant. Meanwhile, the male lead is reduced to a clueless pushover, with even his personal interests-such as attending rock concerts-portrayed as something shameful.

    The story itself is juvenile, riddled with shallow conflicts and exaggerated misunderstandings that make it difficult to take seriously. There's no depth, no meaningful development, just a frustrating series of interactions that fail to engage or evoke any real emotion. Given the quality of the script, it's no surprise that the performances suffer, as even the most talented actors can only do so much with weak material.

    What's most baffling is the high rating this drama has somehow managed to maintain. It's as if viewers are grading based on potential rather than execution. Unfortunately, potential alone isn't enough. This could have been a compelling and heartfelt story with the right writing, but instead, it's a tedious and frustrating watch.

    The opposite of despair is hope

    Mon Ga-young plays Baek Su-jeong who is the leader of the planning team, she is focused and lets her opinions be known earning her the nickname of director killer. After getting her previous director fired the new one Ban Joo-Yeon played by Choi Hyun-Wook immediately takes a disliking to her. What neither of them realise is that the deep distrust of the opposite sex they have can be linked back to an earlier meeting of theirs. Ga-young is always entertaining and the rest of the cast do a sterling job and we also have a second couple. I have given an 8 but probably closer to a 7.5 as although it is lightly amusing and a sweet story it never drew me in that much over the 12 episodes.

    Rom-com to replenish the pallet

    If uve been watching lots of intense, deep dramas and want a break, this is perfect. It's bright, light and easy to watch.

    Overall plot is cliché as is for most rom coms but still maintains uniqueness and individuality.

    Production quality is great, actors have good chemistry and scrumptious kisses.

    Side characters get appropriate screen time hence feel real and the drama overall feels lived in and lively.

    My fav were the side couple, they're SOOOO CUTE!!!!

    I hated how the character of grandmother felt bland and only redemption was later, she went from mean villain to understanding elder within seconds,, that felt quite rushed.

    Not the most mind blowing but just a simple, quality binge watch.
