Too Much Sweet Is Bad for Your Health
I am getting too old, too cynical for this sugary confection of a drama. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind fluff, sweet, no-brainer romance, but this drama although with all the right tropes and cliches (rich older CEO ML, bright and cheery younger FL, love triangle, unrequited love, etc.), it just fails in the genuine feel department. Something is off, and I can blame it on the lack of chemistry between the ML and FL, how the FL is written and portrayed, etc. The FL, who happens to be on the average side in terms of looks and intelligence, is selected by the 2nd FL to be the ML’s assistant because she’s average. The 2nd FL, having carried a torch for the ML since college in her unrequited love, does not want any pretty females near the ML. Through some forced meetings, coincidences, and tarot card readings, the audience is made to believe that two good-looking, successful, rich company co-owners are suddenly infatuated with the FL all within the first three episodes. This is just not enough time for me, as a viewer, to really believe in the genuine feelings of these three. If I have to nitpick about wardrobe, I am questioning why the styling department opts to send the FL into a professional office environment wearing sneakers, t-shirts (tying a neckerchief does not make printed t-shirts dressy or professiona), jeans, and rompers, especially when she’s the assistant to the CEO. First day, ok, I am fine with her clothes since she interviewed for a voice acting gig and not an office job, but after that and still in t-shirts and jeans? No way. The FL’s naïveté and gullibility just make me pull out my hair in frustration. I am surprised she’s grown to be at this age without the help of the ML. This may be a trope that allows the ML and FL to have some form of physical contact, but I guffawed at how easily they sprain an ankle with a simple fall (heck, I slipped on ice, landed on my butt, and still able to walk and attend class) or catch a cold/flu while standing in the rain for maybe five seconds. If you’re going to have a boring, predictable plot for a drama, at least make the main leads’ relationship believable, genuine, and maybe a dose of sizzling hot.Was this review helpful to you?
Annoying FL and disappointing execution of drama cliche
Viewers can only tolerate childish acts and squeaky voice to some degrees. The portrayal of the actress in the character added to the reason for dropping this. I really had to fast forward the scene where she just got out of the factory warehouse and it's raining hard. It was too cringey for me to watch.Moreover, the drama used cliche plots. Other cdramas succeeded in using cliches (i.e. falling into your smile, a love so beautiful, unforgettable love, etc.) but this one didn't. Also, you don't kiss people when they are drunk and has no capacity to properly give consent. Come on, it's 2021.

don't waste your time on it
i actually had dropped it since the day i started watching it. when i read its synopsys, i was kinda interested back then. turned out it was one of the worst cdramas i've ever witnessed. let alone the FL, how come she couldn't realize her idol's voice?!! MOREOVER HIS VOICE DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL either when he was being a voice actor or in daily life.i admit that it was a light cliché drama but it's just tooo plain. besides i hate her character in which she was crotchety, dumb, naive, acts innocent, etc. sighhh

It is WAY too cliche
To be honest, I have watched many dramas and this kind of sucks. This is just my opinion but though the acting was not bad but first there is nothing interesting bout the plot so far and its quite annoying seeing the intense triangle and not going to lie its just ANOTHER one of those annoying dramas that is the same shit nothing special AT ALL . I did not enjoy the drama at all as although there was some scenes that makes u laugh but it just gets more and MORE cliche and boring to the point where u are NOT even going to want to continue the drama at all. So just before u watch it, here are some things to take note of1. Another typical boss employee drama exceptionally with nothing special just that the FL can be abit funny
2. If u have watched multiple dramas u can probably guess whats going to happen next sometimes
3. If u cannot stand having two cool male leads and are indecisive of which DO NOT WATCH cuz you are going to have a hard time with those love triangles
4. one of the only things that may make u continue watching it is the ML as his visuals are not bad and u prob seen him in many other boss employee dramas
OVERALL, im going to continue watching the drama and see if the other episodes might get better
