This was so cute and funny but they messed up some of the storylines and some of the characters, but it was still cute, sweet, fluffy and all those good things rom-com. I hesitate to rate it this high, but truly it's rare that I like a K-drama couple this much and consistently so.
Where it's weak is in the actual plot. The whole mystery thriller part turns out to be something pretty tame and not really dangerous, so I kind of felt deflated by the revelation, which also comes quite late and then it becomes a big thing for a couple of episodes, but not really.
The Veronica impersonation storyline was made too dramatic and almost tragic and I didn't like that for the main conflict, because she was just trapped by the story and he became cruel for a couple of episodes. I mean the boy had trauma but... I preferred that to have remained the comic relief.
Then there are the moms, who are just plain weird and extra and why is Do Mi-nik so needy for attention and recognition when he's a grown man and should just grow out of it? Why is Veronica's mother so crazy and physical? It's for comedy, but it's too much. And why is she so afraid of her, when she's supposed to be this fearless boss lady? It's not really consistent. And then the moms just give up somehow on the whole idea of the match, but Do Mi-nik's mom has no idea he is dating his secretary, and he never seeks her approval, which she never would've given anyway, but he just ignores that fact when all he wanted till then was her approval? It's like the writers just chose the convenient route each time and didn't bother with logic.
Veronica Park was a little too much at times, he's clearly meant to provide comic relief and not much more.
But still, the chemistry is chemistrying and the whole thing is pretty enjoyable.
It's true that the drama has absolutely all the usual tropes for the characters and the story, but somehow it felt fresh, which is again very rare.
