I haven't seen the original so I can't compare.
The plot was OK. They did a big build up to who the mystery woman was but it was quickly resolved. It almost felt like that part of the show wasn't really connected to the rest of it. I also found the stuff with Yoo Chan to be very deus ex machina (like pop suddenly he solves all the company's woes). I really enjoyed the vibe of the company but I felt like the show got bogged down in love triangle drama. I disliked Min Tae Ra, I just found her boring (I think this came down to the writing rather than the actor, she did great). I liked the side story with the room-mate, and the other with the artist. I think if they had spent a little bit more time on the story with the artist, it could have given them a better chance at writing a well developed Min Tae Ra. In terms of pacing it really felt like it could have been cut down to 10 or 11 episodes. I had to force myself to watch the last three episodes because there was nothing left to resolve.
Acting/Castwise. Everything but the two main characters was good and even they weren't so bad except when they were together it was like they were siblings. There was zero sense that they actually wanted each other at the end (one scene at the airport he's actually leaning away from her lol). I felt like Suho became a lot better as the show went on but at the same time it just didn't gel completely.
The music was alright. Nothing stood out and I wouldn't seek out any of the songs.
Rewatching wise - I normally have a hug of death when it comes to dramas. Even though I'm running out of space I want to have them all just in case I want to watch them in the future. Sadly that was not the case for this one.
Overall I'd give it a 6/10. It's not that the show is terrible (there are shows that are much worse for sure), it's just so bland. If I watch a drama I'm supposed to feel something or anticipate something, instead it felt like a chore. I'd suggest skipping this one and trying out something else.
