Headhunters in Love
It took sometime for me to give this drama a shot. I'm not a fan of both leads. And yes, I'm not into Kdramas anymore these past few years after realizing Cdramas has more good looking men. Been trying to check out Kdramas once in a while and finally decided to check this out.
I like the story premise. I've always been a fan of office romances and romcoms so to speak. I must say, my favorite character here is Byeol. She's the main reason I was able to complete this drama. She's so adorably smart kid.
As for the leads, I think this was the most okay role that Han Ji Min has done. She tends to over react in her previous dramas like in Familiar Wife, One Spring Night, Rooftop Prince to name a few dramas I've seen her. I mean this was her most subtle role I believe. As for Lee Jun Hyuk, this was the only 3rd drama I've seen him and was never a fan of him. But, he definitely nailed his role here as Eun Ho. He's too husband and dad material. The romance between the leads was definitely a slowburn. I like that the FL's character is straightforward. One flaw of this drama is that, it so lacks fire and passion. Like, having two adults falling in love after not being in a relationship ever for the FL and quite a long time for the ML. The kisses and skinships were too wholesome for me. I was even looking forward for them to get married and have a kid of their own so that Byeol will have a sibling. But, of course, it didn't happen. Second flaw is that it focused on the business aspect, where the business politics and competition is quite predictable. Nothing new to offer honestly. There are certain scenes that are quite unexplained such as the fire incident where ML was involved. Even FL's trauma, like it felt there's more beyond just after losing her father. The SC's story is quite okay and cute. But, I felt more interested for Kang Ji Yun and Woo Jeong Hun to be a couple. I think they would have much a fire chemistry given Jeong Hun's young and cute character.
The office staff of PeopleZ also made the story interesting. I enjoyed the humor and the bond that the team have formed. Overall, this was a very wholesome drama. I think MDL got the ratings right this time. I was suppose to give this an 8. But, Byeol made it for me to be an 8.5
For rewatch, not really for me. But, this is a feel good drama and most recommendable who likes a mature man like Eun Ho who's good not only at work but also a good cook and does good in housechores as well. The perfect husband and father you'll ever want in your life.
