Is it a spoof?
K-drama lovers like myself enjoy a cliché or two or three. We don’t watch to be too surprised…. But I had to pick my jaw off the floor so many times at the complete absence of plot beyond the unbearable level of miscommunication, and endless repetitions of the K-staple scenes: fevers x 2, rush to hospital x 5, fall in the forest x1 , the chaebol arranged marriage, umbrella moments… I had the speed watch the second half, so it might actually have been worse.It such a shame because all the actors were actually good, and the chemistry between the leads sufficient for a very decent romcom.
I can think of no legitimate reason to start watching this series, it was painful enough to rage-skip-watch in case it improved … it didn’t

All the clichés but some original storylines too
First of of all… the three main leads are gorgeous!! And the costumes and locations are a feast for the eye.I love the matchmaking storylines and the clever tricks they employ to get couples together.
Special mention for Byun Woo Seok, devastatingly charming in his role as a ladies’ man. The expression ‘come to bed’ eyes must have been coined for him.
Overall not groundbreaking, but enjoyable and worth a casual watch.

No chemistry
Chemistry is everything whether the story is good or not. There, the premise is interesting, a doctor saving lives and a grim reaper taking them, the production is not bad, but the lead actors are wooden and seem to have no interest in each other.I watched first episode, skipped ahead to confirm my suspicions then dropped it.
