7/10
Quite entertaining but lacks sense at places

So this kdrama is actually very dramatic and entertains throughout. Really loved the fl's character development and change in her personality as she slipped in her second life - it was super satisfying to watch. It's all fun until you see a lot of loose strings in the plot towards the end. Just to name a few points I didn't enjoy..

1. Firstly I just didn't like the chemistry between the leads. Like don't want to shade the ml but he's just not good at acting. Where were his expressions excuse me? Nah they just didn't do it for me.

2. Just don't understand why was the plot so non sensical after 12th ep. What's with all the murder scheming and stuff? And wtf was the point of pretending to get back with min hwang, like fr? So not needed. And Yoora and her actions were totally uncalled for.

3. The writers did the second leads so bad like where was their screen time? They made such a cute pair. I really wanted to see them more instead of that crazy race of killing everyone.

4. I know this is fiction and I have watched a lot of rich lead kdramas but still I always wonder do the characters have no real work to do? Like do they just scheme useless traps all day? Take yoora for example it just seemed like her full time job was to stalk ji won. Also how can you make a person hr head/ chairman's secretary/ lawyer at the same time lol. And even after that he has got time to dig everyone's dirt.

Oh and did I mention I just couldn't take min hwang seriously the whole time?? Like it's not his fault it's just that I've seen him in welcome to waikiki before and I just can't seem to take him seriously ever again iykyk. The female casting was done perfectly - ji won, su min were all great choices and did a fabulous job. But not so sure about two male leads..

Like the show is not that bad but if you are up for a typical kdrama that lacks sense here and there then just go for it.
