I admit that sometimes I pick up a drama based on review and comments and sometimes I pass one due to the same reasons, and this is one of those dramas that i ignored the reviews and comment and decided to give it a try for myself, I was coming out of a traumatic experience with Love in flames of war, topped it with a comic relief in The forbidden marriage so i wanted to find some balance or maybe i missed some Chaebol dose, adding that I might be developing some crush on Lee Junho too because i picked up another of his work after this one.
So my take on this one is that it was simple story,it has been used before but this time the writer twisted it a bit with the Chaebol being the son of the second wife,who doesnt care much about the money but his mom was a servant so he has a heart of gold and he wants to save people who are working the same rank his mom was, i found that this part of the story gave the drama some soul.For him to do so he needs power and to get the power he has to get in the way of his greedy sister his sister who will go to any lenghth to stop him from taking anything.
The boy was clean,despite having traumatic childhood for being left by his mom,he went on to get his masters,though it kept him away from home but he was working behind the scenes,made connections,learnt the art of running a hotel and is one smart guy despite him looking like he was born with a silverspoon in his mouth.One of the things i like is that they didnt give us too much of business juggons like Cdramas.
The acting was good as expected from kdramas actors who have been doing it for years, the visual were visualising,the sub cast did an amazing job and the friendship between the FL and her best friends was envious,they held her till the end but personally i feel like Mr No the ML's Assistant carried the fun side of the show, the man was a comedian and he delivered each line with smoothnesss and his loyalty top notch.The healthy relationship of the leads was really well done,they solved anything coming in between them with open communication and from day one they decided that they are meant for eachother, no breakups no toxic inlaws or crazy friends' influence.And the ML spoiled rotten his FL like crazy but my only negative pick was the chemistry of the FL which was ok chemistry wise but I went back and timed the kitchen kiss,it was probably the longest kiss in all the dramas i have watched at 1 min 47 seconds,Thank you Junho but Unfortunately I have noticed that other than Seo Ye Ji,most Kdrama FLs tend to be overpowered by strong MLs in the romantic department,When acting with such fierce lead like Lee JunHo who is not afraid to go all the way,You really need to forget that you will be attending a family meeting if you know what i mean,cos these men will make a kissing scedne of an intense one seem extremily real, we the viewers are left with a whole zoo in the stomach
Overlall its a watcheable drama, might not rplay it or be stuck in my head but it was a good watch for sure
