Fantastic romcom chemistry
I have repeatedly said in my reviews that I take the MDL ratings with a huge pinch of salt because this platform is distinctively skewed towards younger viewers who love idol romance-melo dramas. Here I'm proved right again.
============Spoiler starts================
This drama has SO many tropes that I've lost count. Super handsome chaebol/rich male lead falls in love with very poor girl who isn't that pretty, except after he pays a lot of money to dress her up. Somehow he loses contact with her after a fascinating love-at-first-sight encounter and somehow she ends up in - no surprises - his company and works as his employee. They are continually thwarted by a rich girl he's force by his family to marry and his rich family. What happens next is no one's guess.
===========Spoiler ends=================
Such tropes are at least 25 years old, aka so last century. YET despite that, I am STILL watching this drama. Because the leads are great and their chemistry is SIZZLING. I have been following Ahn Eun Jin in all her dramas and even Jang Ki Yong. Despite his model background and stiff start to his acting career, he's improving by leaps and bounds with each drama. He still has a long way to go compared to Ahn Eun Jin but he is making good process. Of course, his pretty face certainly helps.
If this is even remotely like the very cheesy yet super fun Business Proposal that celebrated and really hemmed up such tropes, I am in for a treat! I am certainly looking forward to the rest of the season!
