Best Viki drama so far!
I truly enjoyed this! I like that we're getting more drama's where the female lead is allowed to be complex, reserved and more "grumpy" than sunshine.
I liked how Han Ji Min played Ji-yun as a complex woman with a backstory that made her less likely to be open and warm with new people. I loved how she bonded with Byeol and how the story established they had similarities personality wise. I loved her determination and how she made candidates appreciate their talents and experience and that she genuinely cared that they were being properly appreciated in terms of employment. She had principles and that made her one of the better female characters I've seen.
I loved Eun-ho! There were so many green flags for him. He was handsome, kind, supportive, talented at literally everything, and he was so attentive. I loved seeing him with Byeol and how dedicated he was to her. I worried that there would be a point that his attentiveness to Ji-yun's needs came across as overbearing, but it never did in my opinion.
I loved the chemistry between Eun-ho and Ji-yun and I kind of hope we see them in another romance drama in the future. This drama was well paced and, despite the confession coming earlier than I expected, we got a more time of them as a couple than I expected. Much appreciated! When the reveal came about Eun-ho's tie to Ji-yun's dad, I was surprised by how invested I was in the fallout.
I liked the candidate stories, while I think the authentification plot was a little too long. I enjoyed the cast of characters, especially Mi Ae. The 2FL and 2ML (I guess?) didn't get a ton of time. I loved the illustator's scene where she talks to her adoptive son about his parents. I thought that was really well done.
As for the antagonist - while I was annoyed at her vendetta against Ji-yun, I think her performance was well done. The show balanced the other plots well so that, while it was as frustrating as it was meant to be, I don't think it took over the majority of the show.
Definitely a recommend from me and I loved this couple! I hope we get even more grumpy/sunshine-like stories where the grumpy character is the female lead.
