Amo este drama
Es uno de mis dramas favoritos. Es de mis comedias románticas favoritas.Llega a ser muy muy divertido, casi llegando a causarte vergüenza por todo lo que la protagonista pasa. Tiene el nivel de romance adecuado para suspirar y hacer que tu corazoncito se caliente. Te hace sentir mucha intriga por lo que puede pasar. Y te hace amar a todos los personajes y sentir empatía por ellos.
Es un drama muy muy bueno. Los personajes están a otro nivel, el OST me encanta y la historia es demasiado tierna. Ese final me dejó suspirando y sonriéndole a la pantalla.

Casi me meo encima con este drama
En primer lugar, este drama tiene bastantes momentos de humor del bueno, de ese que hace que te salga una carcajada que puede llegar a durar 1 minuto o más. Me ha gustado que los momentos graciosos no solo estuviesen concentradoes en las interacciones de los protagonistas, sino también en los personajes secundarios , que también han tenido sus historias.Después, como siempre y con dramas con tramas del mismo estilo que esta me ha decepcionado un poco. Basicamente porque la protagonista era pintada como los demas como la chica menos atractiva y seductora del mundo. Y simplemente era una chica, que por motivos economicos y prioridades vestía de una forma más sencilla y no se peinaba bien. A parte de eso era una chica de lo más normal que para nada era fea.
Para acabar, no puedo decir mucho porque se consideraría spoiler pero no me ha gustado para nada el final. Me parece muy poco lógico.

Beautiful Romantic Comedy
Perfect for the times when you need something simple and sweet as there isn’t even a villain or nasty jealousy in this drama.Typical for these types of drama, there is a high degree of coincidences which lead to many characters somehow bumping into each other and getting intertwined with each other. It was well done and created many feel good moments especially how the second ML tries to help our the FL.
It was nice to see that the story didn’t go overboard in the beginning when there was friction between the ML and FL. The tension created here was much better than in Secret Garden as the ML here was basically just reprimanding the FL for her mistakes which came about as she was afraid of being found out. Once she stopped making those bumbling mistakes, the scolding stopped too.
For most parts, I found the FL’s acting enjoyable to watch especially the warm moments with her best friend, her nervousness and clumsiness and her touching moments with the ML. Unfortunately, I found her loud yelling behaviour to be out of character. It was a big stretch for us to believe that she developed this rough loud behaviour just because her family became poor. If she ended up mixing with people who had this behaviour, it would have been understandable, but her best friend whom she lives with has a ladylike personality.
I enjoyed many of the conversations in this drama as it was open and honest. Watching the ML tell the FL why he loves her made my heart melt. There was some self sacrifice and misunderstanding but thankfully not too much. One stand out scene for me was when the ML and FL had a long phone conversation talking about everything under the sun - very real and brought back fond memories of my own experiences.
The ending was not rushed and nicely stretched out with a few interesting elements. This drama left me feeling good and happy.

None of the conflicts really stressed me out, except for maybe how harshly the male lead treated the FL at the start. It was understandable though, KHJ is really over-the-top clumsy at the start for a few episodes, and I'm sure that put a lot of people off. But her character ended up having one of the largest hearts I'd ever seen, especially when it came to her relationship with her friend.
That was the best part, undoubtedly. You don't see a lot of sismance in dramas, and with the way the plot played out, I was worried we wouldn't see it in this one either. But the characters actually were really mature about dealing with issues, and you could tell that the two best friends had such a powerful bond with one another despite some real missteps.
I know a lot of people had SLS in this one, and I thought I would too; I'm a huge fan of the goofy, weird ML. But the second lead was a little too immature for my liking, and the male lead was pretty soft as well — main lead's character was just more intriguing to me.
With that being said, there were a few subplots in the drama but they felt oddly lacking in development and detail: Hye-Jin's sister could have been so much more than "I don't want to be ugly like my sister," Ha-Ri's family issues could have been paced better, and the whole "who is Ten" felt very forcefully thrown in.
With that being said, I still really liked how they went about the first love situation. I was worried it would become one of those fate and destiny tropes, but I was really glad they didn't do it like that. The characters simply fell for one another a second time, and it was really beautiful to watch.

perfect rom com
this drama was absolutely perfect. the chemistry between seo joon and jeong hwa was amazing and i was bummed to find out they didn't have any other work together. jeong hwa is one of my favourite actresses because her acting is so fresh and funny and seo joon does the rich business man character extremely well and i knew he wouldn't disappoint with this role. siwon was just as perfect in this drama, he did funny, sad, serious all so well and showed that he definitely has other talents besides singing and dancing. the side couple was also so extremely cute and they really made me love the drama even more. 10/10 would recommend.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Pretty good drama with a cast that's done a good job
Honestly I thought this drama would go very differently but it gave me a lot of surprises. I love how they showed how her ugly side was also embraced by her, like she knew she could change the way she looked but she chooses to embrace it. I think that message was very beautiful. And the leads had a great storyline too. It felt very real. Honestly very laid back drama with very passive storyline that isn't generic tho. Acting was superb from all the cast members. The music was very soothing, it had a nice peaceful beauty to it. I really enjoyed it. Overall, it's a pretty great laid-back romance drama with a beautiful lead couple storyline and really good cast 🥸👦🏻🔜🧑🏻😍📑🎴☂️📑👧🏻😍🔜🥸👩🏻Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Kim Hye Jin's rise from loser to writer
Even though it has many faults, even if it has its mistakes and excesses, it is a watchable series. It was nice, it was fun. What I don't like is the lame events. Everyone together crushes one person. What is this Korea's national longing? They are not afraid to show it off. They are very proud of other things. I don't like this at all. There are 10 employees. Everyone gives a job to someone. The one who is oppressed, God willing, acts beyond naivety. After this ability, a WRITER springs forth. He is also a UNIVERSITY GRADUATE. So it's not much? Is the person who wrote this so naive, or are those who watch it so naive? These are big mistakes. Or their lifestyle. An adopted move. It's KEEPING it there like a bastard.For example: The girl from Support Services, she also just got a job. They say do this. I AM FINALING MY NAILS RIGHT NOW. Let the loser do it. He immediately says sir and jumps. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY CLOSED TO HIM. SHE CONTINUES TO DECORATE.
What's this? Fun or Funny? Scraping? Why is our friend so naive? So it's in the middle. Sometimes he says, "Oh, I'm busy, you gave me 10 jobs, at least don't give me the 11th one." He's a university graduate. There is also age. We shouldn't expect such things. SO THESE HAPPENED A LOT IN THIS SERIES.
Hwang Jung Eum portrayed this naive, loser but friendly personality, attached to his past and his family and friends, well. It was the engine of the series. So it was his dynamo. Excellent acting from start to finish. Park Se Joon pales in comparison. He tried to accompany. It was fine. But I think it's overshadowed. Si Won perfectly portrayed the mischievous child, that is, the crazy character that is the exact opposite of our naive character, that is, the naive and clever one. His character is a friend who cheats on a friend, but still proves his loyalty to his friend, and his character is slightly flirtatious, and he shows this in our eyes with the way he dresses, and it suits him. Goo Jon Hee was also pretty good. I like. It was different. Shin Dong Mi. I liked it very much. Experienced actress Hwang Seok Jung performed an act with an extravagance far beyond her own, congratulations. Jung Da Bin. was also successful as a child actor. As he grew up, he played good roles. But he couldn't get over himself. In my opinion, it couldn't make the expected explosion. The actors were good. In my opinion, extremes, over-understanding, and seeing this as normal were the mistakes of the series. It was wrong. Maybe it might work in Korea, I don't know, but I didn't like these. The rest is couple harmony and acting. Shooting and management were good apart from these. It was a good romantic comedy. It could have been much better. Despite all my negative comments, I enjoyed watching it.

Pretty good
Since I love romance (especially rom com), there was not enough romance for me, lack of chemistry between leads (I didn’t feel the focus was romance.) That said, WONDERFUL show about friendships. Friendship between female leads and between the female lead and 2nd male lead. I totally had second lead syndrome - Siwon was terrific. They didn’t use the usual storyline of possessive people or evil parents, which was much appreciated. She didn’t seem too upset that he was leaving for a year - which kind of went along with the lack of chemistry.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
I really don’t want to “criticize” so much as to make suggestions to the plot in hopes that writers all over perhaps could take the frame of the story and add their brilliant touches for the masterpieces to come. There is a Chinese version already, garnering pretty good reviews, that I now must check out to see what their writers have done.
I agree with those that say the arc of the story finishes in 12 episodes, with the last four episodes mainly to wrap up everything and tie in all the loose ends. I wish that the arc would branch out further and use all that white space at the end to detail more instead the beauty spots of the story. For example, the friendship between Hye-Jin and Ha-Ri needs to have more hurdles to prove the strength of the girls’ soul sisterhood. Ha-Ri as a character needs more development because the way it is, she’s a major character of the story not to have more background. We know she’s well-off from her dad, but with a broken family due to a missing mother and a mean stepmother, Ha-Ri is ripe as a character for more complex internal interplay. Her sole anchor in life is her friendship with Hye-Jin but her relationship with her dad has poorly influenced her perception of men, to the point where she’s simply using most men for short-term flings, to be discarded once she becomes bored.
This is a person very useful as plot device to build bitter tension between the main couple only because she is quite capable of doing both good and evil. Her heart is different from Hye-Jin’s, whose inner beauty always shines through and very willing to suffer self-sacrifice for her friends and family. Ha-Ri should’ve been more daring, manipulative, greedier, all the time being confused over what she could potentially lose in order to gain the love of the one man so different from all the rest she’s had before. At what point does Ha-Ri realize that her need for this man is more a possessive act due to her miscast feelings about the sexes as the result of her upbringing? At what point does she recognize that she will lose her life-long friend just by standing in between them, keeping them apart, and thus breaking the hearts of two good-hearted people in love? These questions can be quite interesting to explore for the drama just by adding a few more calculated mishaps caused by our confused catalyst.
Then there’s the character of Sung-joon. I may upset a lot of star-gazers but PSJ looks simply too polished as a male model to play a character like Sung-joon, a chief editor of a fashion and style magazine, whose hobby is life sketching, and who has introverted pursuits like secretly drawing Hye-Jin biting on sea-weed at the seaside. PSJ looks too sharp and white-collar chic, gawky as a male specimen belonging in the photos of The Most rather than one of those in the shadows making it. It’s the difference between Shin-Hyuk as Editor Kim and Shin-Hyuk as Ten photographed in that last issue of the magazine. The two can be equally amazingly handsome but style-wise, PSJ does not behave like a frenetic, work-absorbed man bordering slight-autism whose awkward aloofness melts away next to the spunky, child-like Hye-Jin.
The role is difficult because in many romantic comedies, the male lead is put on a pedestal and his personality is pretty much written in stone to be unbendingly arrogant, tough but suave in order to attract and sustain female desire. Sung-joon is a hardcore romantic, who frequents art galleries and prizes a jigsaw puzzle because it’s a leftover from his childhood. It is difficult to get through to Sung-joon since he lives in his own world most of the times, people can’t read and understand him, and more importantly he doesn’t allow many to enter in that world - that is, unless it’s Hye-Jin. He has never forgotten his childhood sweetheart because she alone was able to break past that thickly woven layer of disassociation from reality having lost his mother at a young age.
The two of them together felt right as rain to him, and he seeks to recapture the spirit of their romantic friendship the same way he keeps listening to Carpenters’ bluebird song. That is why it is all the more compelling to him that a complete stranger, a new intern in office who looks nothing like the Hye-Jin he knew and loved, could so easily give off that familiar vibe and make him feel at home again. The drama is most fun when the two of them are together, recognizing each other but pretending not to. There should’ve been a few more escapades of the lovebirds struggling over how to behave and contain themselves as they walk the line separating work and enjoying each other’s company in order to fulfill another deadline. It is only because Sung-joon is quite abnormal personality-wise , and not just another handsome face, that in time, the heart wins over the head to validate his suspicion that Hye-Jin is his Hye-Jin all along despite the evidence otherwise presented by Ha-Ri time and again.
That is why PSJ, although he’s fine in the drama, falls short somewhat – because he hasn’t delivered a Sung-joon that has been lovesick his whole life and bumbling over how not to be a fool standing in his office as the boss. PSJ shows us his cool and collected, while Sung-joon is really a floppy mess, but they can both be very handsome men still, right?
And what about Shin-Hyuk, who is like a Joker thrown into the mix. His role is not unlike Ha-Ri's by way of effecting the relationship of the main leads. Another plot device, he mainly exists to pull on Hye-Jin and create a love quadrangle of sorts for the drama. For the amount of white space available, why not add another layer of complexity by giving his particular friendship with Hye-Jin more detail? Like Ha-Ri, Shin-Hyuk is underused as a character, whose flair comes in none other than as comic relief with signature jokes and poignant lovesick stares. Indeed, precious little is said - albeit purposely - about his unique personality and background until the very end. The character grabs so much of most viewers' sympathy, so why not more of viewers' memory too by slowing down the transition of his feelings from friendship to that something more. Rather than the abrupt disclosure at the end, give more room all along the way to spotlight him as a personality in need - someone who realizes himself through his quasi love friendship with Hye-Jin the atypical quality of his own family or upbringing - such that viewers understand - gingerly - his impulses to fight tooth and nail to hold on to the thing he's got with Hye-Jin. He could still be a character shrouded in mystery - following the path the writer's set up - simply because he loses his will to wreck the main couple and advance his own fantasy, as he confronts something new to himself little by little: Hye-Jin's own waking feelings for Sung-joon.
Finally, there's Hye-Jin, our bubbly protagonist whose force of personality holds in orbit the other characters. Here, I have to compliment HJE as an actress. She adds such vivacity to her character, with loud squeals, cackles, and tons of quick facial expressions that are a delight to behold but nevertheless would be a concern for someone keeping up a goddess face. She got my attention early on with her energy and comic timing, which is so lacking in female leads since many have such boring body language, either at best lounging themselves on the men or at worst just sitting or standing pretty. Instead, she is so game to play for laughs and go against type that for me, the show became a love at first sight. I want so much to see a heroine who can be silly, awkward, and ugly – in adorable ways. HJE delivers just that.
Now, I must mention a fundamental flaw in the storytelling I believe with the character of Hye-Jin. Her attraction to Sung-joon was too quick and easy, it was like she was ready and willing as soon as he started his pursuit. Exactly what was his record in the story other than acting boss-like, yelling condescendingly “You Intern!” everywhere like she was his servant, and generally being the stoic, arrogant alpha male to stoke female desire. Yet, for a woman like Hye-Jin, who sees past this kind of thing and is more unencumbered by superficiality (supposedly she lost her childhood pretty face and was used to playing second fiddle to Ha-Ri her whole life in attracting male attention) Sung-joon for much of the first half of the story offers little of the qualities that reach deep into her heart other than the stereotypical fancy of a trophy boyfriend. Another example, Ha-Ri gives her a really expensive and fashionable pair of shoes, which doesn’t interest Hye-Jin at all. To Hye-Jin, beautiful though they may be, the shoes are uncomfortable and just don't fit her kind of person. In a way, Sung-joon is no different from those brand name shoes that only Ha-Ri seems to desire.
Nothing is explained about why or how Sung-joon becomes special in her eyes, other than their sharing a childhood past at one point - a past that initially Hye-Jin was ignoring despite a stream of emails from him asking for a catch up but that midway into the story suddenly became a past for which she was beholden, one where he was now quite meaningfully her childhood sweetheart. It would have been much better storytelling to have Hye-Jin not fall so quickly in love, to be more on guard, to have her even avoid or hide wearing those unfit shoes so to speak, to have the two of them stumble over antics and mishaps in order for them to confront growing feelings that they are in fact perfectly matched, just like they once were. Hye-Jin should have resisted Sung-joon a lot longer – first because of barriers set up by Ha-Ri and Shin-Hyuk and later because of Hye-Jin’s own wrongful, preconceived notions about Sung-joon from the beginning. The moment she sees him as "her" comfortable Sung-joon - the same, pudgy but lovable boy of her childhood - she accepts him wholeheartedly despite the changed appearance.
For a show that makes much ado about breaking with image, I think the end would have been sweeter to have the he’s and she’s recognize that for all their prettiness it is still the heart that matters most - gorgeous appearances included, of course.

A Great Office Romance - Love it
9/10 is my rating. This is a 2015 South Korean Drama with 16 episodes (60 minutes/episode).Kim Hye-jin once had it all - a wealthy family and beautiful looks. However, her family's business goes bankrupt and she quits taking care of her appearance due to the hardships associated with surviving. As a child she befriended Ji Sung-joon (Park Seo-joon) who was a hefty kid with few friends. They become best friends but eventually are separated when their families go their separate ways. When Sung-joon returns to Korea he wants to unite with his childhood friend she panics at her current state and asks her attractive best friend and roommate Min Ha-ri (Go Joon-hee) to pretend to be her. As fate would have it, Min Hye-jin winds up working for the same magazine where Sung-joon has just transferred in as deputy chief editor. Kim Shin-Hyuk (Choi Si-Won) is Hye-jin's immediate supervisor and befriends her early on.Spoiler 🚨 I enjoyed the entirety of this. I liked how she evolved and how things in her life improved. I loved the relationship she had with her best friend/roommate. When she got the job at the magazine it was fun to watch the interplay between all the characters. The romance was believable and the story wrapped up nicely. Park Seo-joon starred in "Fight My Way" and I enjoyed his acting and character in that one. This was a very different role where he was not Mr. Nice Guy all the time. Kim Shin-Hyuk, Hye-jin's supervisor is hilarious. That character made me laugh a lot and reminded me of some of the pranksters in my life.

The leads make the show a good watch! but all the other scenes are meh.
The chemistry between the main leads was great and their emotions toward each other was good to watch at first. Their love for each other was strong from start to finish and their conflicts with their love due to misunderstandings was done well. Problem is they did not really focus on their relationship at all. Finally when they get together, they still show the SML chasing after the FL which makes no sense. Also you did not even get to enjoy the leads relationship because when things stabilize, melodrama comes in and the ML has to move to New York while the FL stays. All the other side plots were not interesting and got old after awhile. A lot of the plot was on the SML, i guess they wanted the actor to get a lot of screen time but it really made me go from liking the show to hating it.The triangle wasn't annoying at first because the FL only ever considered the SML like an uncle or older brother, but they kept making it a part of the story even up til episode 15. The SML is a nice guy, but it is just weird to see an older guy chasing the FL when it is clear she does not like him romantically. He comes off as a creep to me and completely ruined the show for me. Like he confesses to the FL early on and she rejects him but he still keeps acting annoying. Eventually, I had to skim through the scenes with the SML because it was just too annoying and creepy. He knows she loves the ML and the ML loves her but will not give up. Even when the leads are having an emotional moment about finally reuniting he has the nerve to say "dont go" "if you cant go to him just give me a shot" "just give me a try". The FL never lead him on and only treated him as a friend, but he acts like a creep. All the scenes with the SML and FL were just creepy. The SFL was good and she was a real friend. She did the normal thing when she knew the ML and FL loved each other and let the ML go. The SML however does not care about anyone else but himself and keeps being a creep. And finally when he steps aside we are supposed to think of him as a good person for doing the right thing and that it was a good moment? She clearly stated she likes the ML and has no feelings for the SML so what other choice does he have? why flip a coin to say whether or not he will give up? SHE DOES NOT LIKE YOU BRO, end of story. And even after "he let her go" they still show scenes of him being sad while looking at cute moments between the leads. He took advantage of FL being a good person to constantly harass her. It was absolutely disgusting to watch. The SML chases the FL til episode 15...even though there was no deep connection between them. He just had a crush on her and slightly helped her with her career as a mentor, but for some reason the SML keeps acting like a creep even when the FL dismisses him multiple times. Like even after the ML and FL are dating and kissed, the SML basically kidnaps the FL lying to her and then he takes her to dinner and an amusement park and they walk romantically down the street. like wtf is going on. The FL is too nice but cmon, what BF would want their GF going to an amusement park with another man, especially when that man has explicitly said he likes her. AND THIS IS AFTER HE SAID HE WILL GIVE UP ON HER. I get that they made it seem like oh they are going on a friend date before he says goodbye, but then he comes back and hugs her again the next episode! Like make up your mind writer...he says he gave up on the FL like 3 times and still keeps harassing her until the last episode. It is ridiculous. And they have the nerve to put on sad music during his goodbye scenes. How is it sad? She does not like him, get over it. She loves her childhood friend who also loves her back. Why is it sad that she does not like some creep?
The ML and FML make the show and their scenes were beautiful to watch in the beginning. It was refreshing to see leads so in love like that with nothing coming in their way. The misunderstanding was nothing to them due to their love. I was so glad they did not make the reveal melodramatic. The ML loved her so much he blamed himself and not the FL for lying to him which was so nice to see.
By the end though you kind of disdain the FL. She was very selfish herself and did not really acknowledge the ML's feelings. It felt like she did not love him as much as he loved her.
