This show suffers from sluggish pacing and a lead performance that never quite lands. The female lead’s stiff delivery, awkward mannerisms, and constant evasiveness make the character difficult to invest in, and the repeated lingering stares at her boss add more discomfort than chemistry.
The male lead, by contrast, is far more engaging, charming, grounded, and genuinely pleasant to watch, which only highlights the imbalance between the two. The production leans heavily into the overly polished, makeup‑heavy aesthetic common in many C‑dramas, resulting in visuals that feel artificial rather than refined.
Overall, the slow pacing, uneven performances, and overly stylized presentation keep the drama from reaching its emotional potential.
