Strong Start, Lost The Way Midway

The first half was quite good. I laughed a lot in the first 4 episodes. It got boring in the second half. I didn't really care for the second female lead's presence. I would have liked more of the friend and sister's stories but they barely got development or screentime later.

The show was stolen by Ji Hoon (male version). Whenever Ji Eun appeared, it was just very normal. They gave all the personality to Ji Hoon. Commendable job by the actor, Yoo Jung Hoo. I could see him as a woman. The FL has less of an impact when she is a woman than most of the cast which makes me feel bad for Arin. They didn't build much of a chemistry between the leads. I also think she could have toned down the girlyness a bit more later to show her getting used to behaving more manly like the part when she drives away the stalker. That was her best scene.

The male lead's character was also good as a supportive and understanding boyfriend.

The show lost it's footing when they tried to force in the second female lead. It got more annoying to watch and I started speeding up the show a lot. The ending was okay. Nothing really special which is unfortunate as it had a strong start.
