Exploradora del amor

I can understand why this show is a hit. She is the CEO and he is her secretary. The gender role reversal compared to Secretary Kim is amusingly handled. The man handles everything even beyond his job description so well that it is funny. From cooking to protecting. Plus Lee Jun Hyuk always looked sharp in a suit since City Hunter and Are you Human. Like a perfect wife and husband in one. Han Ji Min is good at giving life to her no nonsense CEO character. She is smart and not a frustrating person. She says things quickly and deals with issues decisively. She has a nice hairstyle that suits her.

The premise for them to be together is good. No messy in laws and she was also from a single parent household so she understands him and his daughter.

The various clients stories are quite interesting. Makes you appreciate what a headhunter has to do.

A few flaws. Some of the other characters storylines are a bit weak at times. Like the aunt raising her niece as her son and the young director. The office humor is strained sometimes as in most kdrama office shows they have to exaggerate to create excitement. This is a watchable show.

This is just a review of the first two episodes, as that is all we have to date. I am already wishing I hadn't heard of this until all episodes were released and I could binge it. I have a good feeling about this series. It appears to be 12 episodes, which, if they keep a tight storyline, will I'm sure be perfect. I'm not a fan of characters getting together and breaking up often over stupid misunderstandings just as a time filler. Although I'm happy with time away from the main characters if there are interesting secondary character plotlines. Which I think there may be going by the quick peek at the 3rd episode we received.

Right away I was interested in the premise of this series as I had enjoyed the Ryan Reynolds/Sandra Bullock romcom movie with Reynolds as the very put upon male assistant to Sandra Bullock, and I still rewatch that.

Love Scout is not a comedy but I'm loving the vibe and there were some amusing moments. I will always give a series a chance, watching at least two if not three episodes to ensure I have grasped and am in invested in the main world/character build. This caught me within 30 minutes. By the end of the 2nd episode I was immediately checking to see how long I had to wait for the next episode.

5 days!!!!!!! Luckily, as I am late to the KDrama party, (2023) I have a lot of amazing shows to catch up on. I will update next weekend.

I just finished the final episode and though not perfect, overall, the drama can be well recommended.

CEO Kang Ji-yun's character development is very well-written. I always loved a strong independent woman which she really was. I love that she was dominant but not over the top. She knows how to dominate but not make Eun ho feel less because she can also show her affection. She's cold at the beginning but a very hardworking CEO. Her storyline will really make you root for her! She's definitely one of the best characters with the best development I have come across in KDrama.

Yu Eunho is like a disney princess. He looks fragile but strong. Soft but manly. He's too good to be true. A perfect man any woman would wish they can have! (Which makes me really think since they didn't really touch the issue much why they divorced with her first wife-his college sweetheart-when Byeol was less than a year old. I was thinking-postpartum? Hmm.) Anyway, I love his relationship with her daughter very much. Byeol look up to him with so much admiration and pride. Every child deserves a role model like that. And Eunho's relationship with Jiyun is very well developed as the show progressed. I love how mature their relationship is. No unnecessary conflicts, only understanding and supporting each other. They act their age.

But one of my best story arc for this drama for me is Byeol and Jiyun's relationship. I love how they fit each other so well like a puzzle. It's like Jiyun is healing her inner child through Byeol, and Byeol having found a mother figure she definitely deserves. One of the reasons this review is only 8 is that I wish they showed a scene where Byeol called Jiyun her 'Eomma' and them living together.

Side characters, especially the people in Peoplez, are also fun to watch! I wasn't a fan of the villain characters but it was bearable. Good thing they didn't take too much screentime on the last episode.

Another reason why an 8 - I find some scenes to be a little too slow.. like walking or staring at each other for 3 whole minutes or so (yes, I timed it... it was that slow for me) BUT... it's not something Netflix's 1.25x or 1.5x speed can't fix. Lol

The actors and actresses, especially the main leads and the child, definitely gave justice to their characters. They were so great and their dynamics together are amazing! Byeol is sooo cute and so good!

Overall, Highly recommended! I would rewatch it again - though at 1.25 or 1.5x speed, and skipping the villains and company drama scenes.

I think the way you tell a story, cliche or not, is the important thing when you watch a series/movie. In this series the story is very well written and worth to watch. The story is about the relationship between the secretary and the CEO of a headhunting firm. The way their relationship gradualy grow is the main story. The two are the completly opposite where the secretary is a organized freak and the CEO is a kaos workholic and the way they let us know how each character is are very funny. If you need a break in reality and stress, watch this series and relax, better than go to a psichanalist.

In an era marked by intense dramas like "Squid Game," "All of Us Are Dead," "Sweet Home," and "Hellbound," "Love Scout" stands out as a refreshing and heartwarming series. It takes viewers back to the days of classic, cliché dramas. The writing is solid, avoiding anything excessive or extravagant.

The story revolves around a hard-working CEO and her secretary, who is a single father. The supporting characters add a delightful touch to the drama. The chemistry between the leads is satisfying to watch, and the male lead is quite handsome. Additionally, the child actor portraying his daughter delivers an impressive performance.

This series consists of just 12 episodes, making it a perfect, light-hearted escape from our daily lives. It's definitely worth a watch. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. I hope you have a wonderful day!
