Was not what I expected
The acting was great. Especially Lee Ji-hoon and Seo Ji-hye. MY first Song Seung-hoon show and he's gorgeous in that classic way - they are a good pair. The story and plot were good until about episode 12 and then the FL did something infuriating. I just had to speed through to the end to finish the show - the only saving grace is that they (except once and briefly) did not overuse the breakup/misunderstanding trope to keep the couple apart (they used other tropes, but that's a different story).Lee Ji-hoon was honestly a revelation - he was able to project a sense of menace to us, while feeling relatively harmless to the other characters (especially FL who seemed completely infuriatingly oblivious, though she did do all the right things always). And I saw Son Na-eun in Agency and loved her there, so that colored how I viewed her here. She walked the line of petulant and entitled very well.
I didn't really enjoy the side plot of "Keanu" and Ms. Nam - though, the other characters were memorable and well thought out (Lee Mun-jeong, Geon-woo, work colleagues etc).
I thought this would be a typical plot, and didn't expect the 2nd ML/FL to be such a large part of the story. Some may find them both repetitive and unnecessary, but their acting made it really worthwhile and different.
