Seeing what we get after and prior this show, I'll give a massive shoutout to the screenwriting. This show brings a common workplace romance between a heartless and stiff boss with a warmhearted secretary. At first, I thought it is going to be quite dragging as usual, and complicated given all of the conditions that they show in the first episode. However, I didn't really expect that it doesn't take so long before Ji-Yun turns head over heels for Eun-Ho. The triangle love is there but thankfully it isn't threatening. Many thanks to the writer for not overcomplicating things, and that's how most shows should do! Both Ji-Yun and Eun-Ho have mature thought when responding to problems. I even think Byeol is astonishingly mature considering she is only 7.

For the first two episodes, I were dazzled by the shooting technique. The camera movement while filming Ji-Yun and her colleagues movement's around the office is absolute incredible! And the flashback scenes at last episode is just amazing.

I also love the chemistry between Han Ji-Min and Lee Jun-Hyuk, potraying FL and ML respectively. However when it comes to romantic scenes, I somewhat think that ML is sometimes a bit off. Thinking back about it, FL should be the one who is loveless and lack of romantic experience. But somehow I feel Jun-Hyuk expressions are sometimes a bit unnatural and awkward while doing romantic scene such as holding hands or hugging. Also I think the childhood relationship isn't necessarily needed! Yes you can have Ji-Yun having a trauma, but it doesn't need to be related to Eun-Ho. Why do we need it? Is this some kind of KDrama trademark? Also I don't understand why Jeong-Hun doesn't join when they assemble at the bookstore?

The pace of this show is freaking consistent, but the final episode is a bit faster. I think the writer was trying to balance between putting heartwarming scenes and giving closure to all the problems, but in the end nothing really hit the spot. There is no further explanation about what as actually happened to Jeong-Hun brother (apart from he did suicide due to depression). The screentime is a bit unfair to the second lead couple. They are already getting a little screen time since the beginning and as the story progressing, it is becoming less. And in the end, they rarely get romantic scenes. It is such a shame, especially since Kim Yoon-Hye acting skills has improved a lot here. Final scene is really questionable, why does it have to end that way? I personally think that giving longer final episode would solve this problem easily.

While you usually find passionate and flustering office romances, this show is giving a new atmosphere of more calm office romance. Though it's not an oustanding, it's worth watching, since there isn't any stupid and threatening tropes in this show.
