Since I'd already watched one Noona Romance (Witch's Romance) which was terribly cute and fluffy, I thought I'd try this one based on some recs. I haven't watched any of the others in this series, but my understanding is they are all standalone, so it doesn't matter.
I liked a lot about this show. My favourite wasn't necessarily the romance, but rather the relationship between the women. I love to see women interacting as friends and rivals even, in a way that doesn't just revolve around men. Obviously a lot of it was about men and relationships, but a lot was also about work, and about their own friendships. High five for this show!
Then there was Sung Joon's character Joo Wan, who was just a little bit too perfect. I mean, come on, how can one guy be so perfect? And so hot? (I hate to be so shallow, but omg!) I can't even understand why Kim So Yeon's character Joo Yeon had even a moment's hesitation about this guy! Okay, I do get it, she still kinda saw him as the kid she had to babysit when she was a teen, and she also couldn't get past her own jaded view of relationships, but come on, just look at him!
I liked the more realistic feel this show had about people and relationships, in that it didn't make women chaste or sexless, and it rounded out each character--each woman had her own flaws as well as her own redeeming qualities.
I was frustrated with Joo Yeon and her infatuation with her boss, Tae Yoon. I actually started out liking Tae Yoon, but he was so completely not right for Joo Yeon, and I think he even knew that, and yet he was so selfish with her, and she was just too oblivious or just had so little love for herself even to let go of him. And I really can't forgive him for how he hurt Se Ryung. There was no justification except for him being a selfish arsehole. I had to dock points for this whole plotline dragging out way too long, and Joo Yeon not waking up sooner.
