I wish I liked Hwang Jung Eum's attempts at comedy more than I do. Her over the top acting choices during comedy scenes can be irritating and make me want to skip forward. That said, when she's more subtle in the heavier emotional scenes she does an absolutely stellar job. Since the show revolves around her character, it was a series of hits and misses with the show never quite finding a steady rhythm.
Park Seo Joon took a character that was pretty boring and made him someone to root for, which is a special kind of magic. I wish Park Seo Joon would go back to his rom-com roots. After seeing him in 'Kill Me, Heal Me,' 'What's Wrong with Secretary Kim,' and 'She Was Pretty,' I think his strength is rom com.
This was a character driven story, but even so the plot felt a bit empty and shallow.
