I'm a big fan of K-dramas specifically, but not the romantic ones. I originally never intended to watch this to begin with, I was searching for some good ones. After finishing the first episode, I was completely hooked and fascinated by the wonderful story line up and ended up watching the whole 16 episodes in 2 days. The actors have done a marvelous job, they portrayed their characters exceptionally. Loved every bit of it. The romance, the comedy, the sorrounding mystery between the two brothers, everything was fabulous! Just give it a shot. You'll regret later if you don't. It's from one of those "must watch" categories. Even if you ain't a romantic fan, you'll love it!

This is the second series starring Park Seo Joon that I have watched (before I watched She Was Pretty) and I am amazed not only of the high calibre of the young stars but the beauty of filming and the perfection of the production. The love stories are similar but still leave the viewer spellbound and anxious for the next episode. The Koreans should export these productions world-wide, as audiences everywhere will totally enjoy these beautiful young actors and actresses mesmerise the viewers with their performances. Thanks for great entertainment!

Firstly the chemistry between the leads is successful. A connection is palpable . They are both good at making fun of their characters quirks. PSJ is quite funny and well cast as the narcissistic arrogant VP. The way he treats her initially is refreshingly politically incorrect. Its nice how they show how valuable she is. PMY is sweet and very attractive as the long suffering secretary. She has an expressive face unlike some of the actresses popular today. Like the way she smiles through his conceited remarks. Their love isn't as timid as in many K drama comedies are. Beyond first base for a change. The comedy is good in how he interacts with her family and the wedding preparations. Also the workplace issues about them dating are funny. The dramatic kidnap back story and his relationship with his brother is quite diverting. What does not quite work is the side stories about the colleagues. Some jokes are painful and repetitive.

For a romantic comedy it is quite enjoyable. Some episodes could have been shortened.

I watch a lot of K-drama since COVID 19 it's all I watch 9 out 10 times. They're well made and entertaining. This drama always came up on my recommended shows but I always ignored it. But after not having much to watch i decided to try it out and see why it had such a high rating.

I must say I was immediately hooked from ep1-11. The story was done and there was nothing more to add. Sure an ep12 was needed to show how they ended up after everything had come to light in ep11. All of which could've been done in one episode instead of 5 more pointless content.

12episodes K-dramas are so good for that very reason. This could've been one of the best shows ever but they ruined it by making it so long and pointless in the end. I literally had to skip through the last 3 episodes as it just became a whole lot of drivel. I just wanted it to stop by the time it was done. I had lost the love and connection for the leads by then.

Business Proposal and Perfect Marriage:Revenge are 12episode shows. They're well made and don't waste time adding unwarranted dialogue and scenes that add nothing to the show. It's such a shame really because this could and should've been a classic.

I thought this show had plenty of strong points, but since they have already been covered in other reviews, I will limit my comments to the aspects in which IMO this film stands out from its peers:

1) The main leads. There are plenty of other celebrities whom I personally find more attractive than PSJ and PMY. However, by the end of the first episode I was totally in love! Their couple chemistry was insane and their performances (both together and alone) were amazing. They are by far the best thing about this show.

2) A Truely Couple-Oriented Plot. Unlike many romance stories which focus on the complications of a love triangle, this one kept its focus firmly on the main pair, despite the potential for a triangle. Additionally, it realistically highlighted many of the struggles a normal couple would face in developing a new relationship (especially inexperienced first-timers), but kept the contrived angst to a refreshing minimum with (gasp!) actual communication.

3) Plenty of Adult Romantic Payoff! Most mainstream K-Dramas tend to stick to the "G-Rated Love" standard, with (sometimes frustratingly) limited romantic contact between the leads and little resolution to any sexual tension. This show, however, follows through on all the buildup, rewarding viewers with 6+ very invested kiss scenes, as well as (gasp!) a passionate bedroom scene.

If you are looking for something "fresh" or "unique," this probably won't be your cup of tea. But if you are in the mood for a classic, RomCom K-Drama with an old school fairytale ending which pulls no punches in the physical contact department, you would be hard pressed to find one more satisfying than this. Highly Recommended!
