I AM VERONICA PARK
The title probably is the only good thing in this show. Maybe the correct theme for this show should be "Play Stupid Game, Win Stupid Prizes". All of the things happened in this show were mostly the characters own medicine that they had to taste. Jeong Gal Hui got her own by kept pretending as Veronica Park. Do Min Ik got it by kept pushing aside the assault case. Lee Eul Wang got they price she had to pay after embezzling the company funds and stupidly got confronted by Chairman Sim.
Jin Ki Joo and Kim Young Kwang did quite well here. I really liked the way Ki Joo played Gal Hui. However, I feel Kim Jae Kyung is the star of this show. She did excellently as the eccentric Veronica Park, and her hilarious character brought a fresh breath into this complex storyline. I finished this show because of her and Dae Ju. Koo Ja Sung as Gi Dae Ju, on the other hand, felt too stiff to become a stiff person.
The pacing is slow, and either the romance or the comedy appeared rarely. I found the characters were extremely frustrating. Do Min Ik intentionally picked on her secretary for no reason, claiming it as "to make his secretary feels inconvenient and resigns", but at this point it seemed more like a workplace harassment. He also frustratingly forgave his toxic mother and his perpetrator easily. Jeong Gal Hui chose to side with the mere secretaries, who didn't even care about her, over Min Ik whom she chased for so long. Gal Hui's siblings had complex victim mentality issue , and it was very annoying. Lee Eul Wang was very shameless by seeking help from Min Ik, after leaking "some info" to Chairman Sim and got disposed. I really can understand the reason behind the "breakup", but I felt they dragged it for too long. The music scoring (not the OSTs) is extremely horrible. There are a lot of music that don't match with the scene vibes, like they put romantic backsound during funny scenes, etc.
Should I recommend this? Well, if you have other shows in your watchlist maybe it's better to pick other shows. Watch this if you're up for Kim Jae Kyung, or if you have nothing to watch anymore.
