A quite original drama actually
This drama is not that special in the sense of its story, it`s very cookie cutter - older woman and younger man start off by getting to know each other and they have vastly different personalities. That`s where the true originality of this show lies. The characters are all not quite what you would find in a drama like this. The female lead is cold and, at times ruthless, but still likeable. The actress playing her has done a GREAT job in showing her both clumsy, but endearing side and that serious, mysterious one. She`s also very attractive, goes forward and has a surprisingly positive outlook on life by the end of the show- which is not as common with this character type. On the other hand, the male lead really becomes one in episode seven. Up to that point, he`s always reminded me of that cute younger brother, that doesn`t know how to do anything but you still keep him around. He`s not as pensive or mature as men in these types of dramas usually are, which adds to my whole point of originality of the actual couple dynamic. Other characters compliment the whole thing well, though they are quite one dimensional, at the end of the day.
As for drawbacks, the romance doesn't really kick in until episode 7 or 8. Up to that point, both the female lead and male lead are both busy with their issues and also getting to know each other and their habits, which, this drama includes cohabitation, which I typically like as a trope. It`s always easier to believe a romance when two people fall in love despite seeing each other in pathetic conditions and situations. The way they decide to wrap up the romance is not my favourite either, but it's still fun to watch.
