I think this is a fantastic series! Im Yoon-ah just kills it in every scene, and I wasn't the biggest fan of hers either (she was just "ok" I thought in "The K2"). Her facial expressions and comedic timing are impeccable, and she has laugh out loud dialogue with the male protagonist (who also does a good job).
I noticed a lot of reviews seem to be about the early episodes, but later in the series some of the banter with her overconfident and jaded male protagonist is just great! The way she handles him, gently and amusingly mocking him at times is really well done.
I have seen several KDrama's/Rom Coms not nearly as good as this one with MUCH higher reviews...so these reviews make no sense to me.
Also, I typically do not care for the "comedic duo", or sidekicks many KDrama's have. They are often annoying or try way too hard to be funny. Not so with this series. The two women sidekicks have real problems, real stories of their own, but they are very funny in some of their scenes too. Also, the male sidekick to the male protagonist is great, and constantly gets away with needling his boss - which just goes to show that contrary to his front, the male protagonist is a "good guy".
If you gave up, give it a chance again through episode 8, the banter is truly good between them.
Just to be fair, there are a couple things I didn't like either. The Arab Prince, the Cliff Jump, etc. So it has its faults, but overall it's a great show and worthy of a "10". I will revisit this review after the series is over and adjust accordingly but if you like these types of shows you will NOT be disappointed with this one!
I have reviewed over a dozen KDrama's and have a public list on IMDB of ones I have watched and rated, and most of the time I am very much in agreement with the overall ratings. Not so with this series: I say watch it and enjoy!
