I didn't know what to make of this drama when I first heard about it but I was looking forward to it because of the cast. I won't lie the set up is quite your usual one in romantic drama except it's set in an office and while the first two episodes were confusing it turned out to be an enjoyable drama.

Now, l will be honest the only thing that made the drama this enjoyable was the main character Chae Hyun Seung. In my 15 years as a drama watcher Chae Hyun Seung is one the best male characters I have seen on screen.
Despite what episode 1 & 2 can potentially show, Chae Hyun Seung is a respectful and responsible character who always put Yoon Song-Ah, his sunbae, well-being first. While he was fairly honest about his feelings toward her he never imposed it on her or forced her into anything she didn't want to. Every one of his actions has Song-Ah well-being in mind regardless of whether it will make him look good in her eyes or not. It wasn't about winning her heart or making her fall in love with him, it was about protecting and caring for the woman he loved even if it meant looking like the bad guy.
As if he wasn't already good enough, Hyun Seung was this character that kept on learning and never stopped questioning himself about his behavior and its consequences on Song Ah. His love for Song Ah was obviously unbalanced but he accepted it and embraced it. For him it wasn't a competition on who is more in love or who will hurt the most, it was about being able to share his life with the one he loved.

I can't speak about Hyun Seung without talking about Rowoon who just nailed the role. He really suited the boy in love with his sunbae type and did amazing portraying the shy, in love but also mature and responsible Chae Hyun Seung. I don't think it's a stretch to say that he carried the show on his shoulders and I'm looking forward seeing him in a new drama.

As much as I loved Rowoon as Hyun Seung I have to say I was disappointed in Won Jin Ah as Song Ah which is a shame since she was one of the reasons I started this drama. Now I don't think it has much to do with Won Jin Ah's portrayal, though I did find her quite emotionless, than it has to do with how badly written Song Ah is. She was just a very boring character, not even her conflict with her mom was interesting enough to make us root for her. If anything I felt like she wasn't good enough for Hyun Seung and it's not the last couple of episodes that made me change my mind. I can't tell if this was done on purpose to portray a normal/lambda woman or not but either way it's disappointing. It's particularly striking when all the other female characters, regardless of how small their roles were, had so much charisma personality.

The good does outbalance the bad thankfully and I would recommend this drama if you are looking for a nice romantic story that will make your heart flutter. If not with Hyun Seung you will definitely find some fluttering with the other side stories that are just as enjoyable as the main one.
