good boy down bad

started this drama on a vacation in december 2023. i was mostly alone on that trip and wanted something light and fun. this 100% fit that bill, except it turned out to be really cute and good and i had to share it with my husband. he joined me on episode 5.

the female lead, cheon sa rang, is so cute i want to scream. the male lead was selfish and rude in the beginning (gu won go to therapy) but the growth!! he started simping so hard and being absolutely pathetically in love, which is very appealing. this man cares for nothing besides cheon sa rang and it is a whole mood. on paper he has all the power, but then he's out here tripping over himself just to get her to look at him and is big sad when she doesn't. she is so independent and powerful, and he basically devotes his existence to serving her; we love to see it. her best friends are also amazing, i love them.

the music in this drama was top tier. the synthwave "outrun the night" vibes of "Confess to You" by Lim Kim were perfect in every scene. i liked seeing awful bosses get what was coming to them, and i think the show overall made a thoughtful critique of unjust labor systems. at the same time, the best solution it was able to offer was "put nice people at the top," which isn't much. still, this drama made me happy and hopeful and i love it for that. plus it is very pretty to look at and the conflict is low level so i just got to vibe while watching and that is mostly what i come to kdramas for.
