This was a strong start to the drama year with its novel casting, fresh plotline and fantastic acting. The show exceeded all expectations and also brought us another fabulous performance from Seo Hye Won - the side character we all know and love.

Lee Jun Hyuk and Han Ji Min were a novel pairing that did the emotional rollercoaster such justice. I honestly did not expect such great chemistry. Mr. Lee especially delivered a big surprise with his character portrayal in this drama. The bright and nurturing personality was such a direct opposite to his usual cold and serious roles. Paired with Han Ji Min's cool and multi-layered career woman energy, the cocktail was simply too good to resist.

The drama's setting is deep in the headhunter biz with intriguing doses of melancholy and comedy. The show addresses topics like depression and grief, so of course I had to use a couple of tissues to fix the leaky faucet that my eyes became while watching this. Lady Han and Mr. Lee truly gave us raw glimpses of their characters' inner landscapes.

I really recommend this for people who want a healing romance with a side of business-life intrigue and rough life events!
