Mostly good
I subtracted one star because of the last item listed below...
What I liked:
1. The wooden box and the book of spells. Audience never quite knows if the spells worked or not–but they were lots of fun.
2. Kim Ro-Woon transforms from a cold-hearted attorney into a spurned lover and a kind-hearted boyfriend. Jo-Boah was cute and appealing at times. The romance between these two was a little clunky, but if you don’t look too close, it’s believable.
3. The co-workers in the Environment and Greenery office weren’t funny. But I really liked the buffoonish Mr. Gong
4. The Environment and Greenery Department–a government department with a focus on plants, flowers, and greenery. The cherry blossoms, the walk in the meadow at the end were gorgeous–nice to get away from the unrelenting urbanization in some of these dramas.
5. Appropriate and tactful sex scenes.
What I didn’t like
6. Jo-Boah’s acting was over the top and way, way too self-conscious. Never-ending mannerisms, posturing, simpering, and over-acting. Tone it down, Girl!
7. Too many plot elements borrowed from other Chinese and Korean series (My Demon).
8. Hey, K-drama writers...there was one scene that was really stomach-churning. It shows a certain character grabbing an octopus and throwing it in boiling water. C’mon. Octopuses are sensitive and intelligent. If you have to keep eating them, at least don’t show people torturing them too. Thanks.
