It's a drama leaning heavily on the comedy and it actually works, only to the detriment of showing us real people to root for. The comedy takes up so much space that there almost isn't any left for real talk and real issues, and whatever pops up, and there actually is quite a lot to delve into, is brushed aside after a few dramatic scenes for some more comic relief. So it left me dissatisfied with how some of the conflicts are resolved.
Mi-kyung gets over So Baek-ho's past actions too easily, apparently because his looks are lethal and she just cannot stay mad at him. On-ju's betrayal barely registers, when in fact On-ju could have spared her months of her doubting herself and stumbling in the dark. For all of Mi-kyung's verbal and physical abuse, she seems to forgive and forget all too easily, which in the real world would actually make her a doormat. Plus her brother is solely used for comic relief and I really felt for that poor guy. The chairman's daughter is excused for forcing herself into a man's life just because she was madly in love.
So it's a drama that you're not supposed to take seriously really, so the dramatic moments do not get much of a resolution, although I must say the acting is pretty good and effective, for both the comedy and the drama. Mi-kyung abuses her eyebrow movements a little too much and also there's no real explanation as to where her tattooed eyebrows went from one episode to the next, but let's chalk that up to the comedy, which I believe was the intended purpose. I appreciated that the lead actress has a distinct look that sets her apart from the general leading ladies of k-drama.
The ending made no sense, I don't get how they got those jobs, but again I'm overthinking things.
They're cute, it works, I was waiting every week for the two episodes, not each episode was worth the wait, but there is some magic at play here.
