Five Stars

This was a drama with a linear plot and very coherent. I loved the acting of the actors, in particular Kim Jae Wook. He has a really good comedic performance in a subtle way. I was afraid the authors would spoil the story at the end, but I found it very cohesive. There is a redemption of the main character, Noh Go Jin. It ends up being much more complex than that superficial image of a cold person that passed in the first few chapters. I also liked that Lee Shin A shows a strong personality until the last chapter, going to work in the competing company. From a completely toxic and abusive duo (in the boss and employee relationship), they become a very healthy couple, supporting each other. I also liked that they gave Oh Se Gi a bigger base. Maybe the pacing at the end was too fast, but nothing that spoiled the plot totally. It's a very fun and unrealistic series, initially reinforcing abusive behavior that should never be normalized (in real life, an employee should never accept bad treatment like Lee Shin did, let alone get revenge, let alone relate to the abusive ex-chef, but ok, this is just a drama and we are here to get out of reality hahaha). By the way, The Devil Wears Prada's influence is absolutely clear here. In the first two chapters, there are almost identical scenes of the relationship between the boss and the secretary. I really liked this reference, because I really like the mentioned movie. Anyway, it's a very light and fun drama that in the end brings redemption to the characters and reinforces good behavior, something completely opposite to the first chapters, lol. I loved it and will definitely see it again in a few years, hahaha
