Abysmal In Every Way
I would have given this negative stars if possible.I'll be completely honest and confess that the only reason I didn't stop watching sooner was because I normally like Sung Hoon, and his shoulders looked particularly lovely in this drama.
The biggest problems with this drama are the horrible writing, the female lead, and Sung Hoon's purple toupee. Candidly, I would have kept watching if even one of those things was not on the list, but added up, the drama was unbearable.
The script was horrible, even for a light-hearted fluffy piece. Maybe some of it was due to the translation, but I had the feeling that the writer had never had an actual conversation with another human being. Yes, the dialogue was that bad. Add in stale tropes, unconsensual power-play type touching from the boss, and a female lead who is a nutritionist who can't cook a decent meal, and you get this horrible mess.
Equally distracting was Song Ji Eun's complete inability to move her jaw when she speaks (no, not just when she was wearing the splash guard). I have no idea if that person can act or not because I was so irritated by her whiny lockjawed voice that it became almost impossible to notice anything else.
And finally, poor Sung Hoon. I think most people would say that he is well above average looking, but it seemed like the hair and makeup folks wanted to change all of that. His toupee was, I believe, unintentially PURPLE. That, in itself, wouldn't be too bad if it was normal to see purple hair on a wealthy executive, or even if the toupee was of good quality. It was, however, very poorly made, and the front was placed way too low on the actor's forehead. I spent an entire episode actively trying to ignore it, but I somehow became unable to look away. Bless his heart, poor Sung Hoon looked like he was sweating bullets under all of that man made hair.
If you can see beyond a bad script, jawless talking, and a cheap purple toupee, this might be an enjoyable show for you. Otherwise, don't waste your time.
