watch the first 9 episodes, skip to the finale
this drama can be easily cut in two half. the first half is actually about the over 30s male and female leads friendship, their jobs, dating among pressure to settle, and the male lead trauma (the complete story is revealed and resolved in ep9, and choi siwon gives such a heartbreaking performance in it, that's why I recommend to watch up to that point).
the dialogues are fresh and interesting, there are some really funny scenes, and the story is coherent. there are also some very mature innuendos you don't usually see in kdrama.
by the end of this first half segment the useless reality show is introduced and the writer forgot the main leads, to focus on many unnecessary "real scenes" from the dating show, introducing 8 new characters, and wasting everyone time.
even worst, the writer made her Female lead so inept and unlikeable that I started wondering how the Leads friendship could be ever mended.. only to have them suddenly confess, after not sharing a single significant scene for almost 4 episodes, turning the male lead into a pathetic yes man, whatever she decided he was ok with it, from being accused of being a murderer, being harassed on and off line, taking the blame for the female lead ineptitude at doing her job, etc.
both Lee Dahee and Choi Siwon evidently got tired/frustrated as much as the viewers because the amazing chemistry they have in the first half (and in every promo or behind the scenes video) was lost by the time the couple got together.
it has the worst and most annoying and pathetic second female lead ever.
I've listened to the whole OST and the instrumental tracks have a nostalgic feel to it I love it, despite not remembering many of those , so they were either unnoticeable or didn't fit the mood of the scenes, a part from the scene where the ML runs while all his regrets for not acting upon his feeling for the FL are shown in a nice montage. the track is titled JaeHoon's Heart Fluttering and adds so much emotion to that perfect scene.
there are also some nice jezzy-ish tracks and the "male pole female pole" is really sexy.
my vote is 8,5 for the first half and 5 for the second half.
