    I am with everyone in that I didn’t think I was going to enjoy this as much as I did. I love me a good rom-com, but lately they have been too bland or too sweet to seem realistic. Plus, its a boss-secretary dynamic, which I see the appeal of a strict boss being made to the cutest of puppies, but sometimes the execution is not so good (Does she really have to keep working for him? Are they never going to call each other by their real names?!!!). However, I was glad that this drama, although ridiculous at times like with its CPR to the fish, pft, managed to show growth in both main characters and a pretty sweet love story. Also, how good were those last couple of episodes! I really enjoyed how things were wrapped up for our couple and everyone else. I feel like many Beanies have already showed their love to Veronica Park, but an aweeesome is guaranteed when talking about this drama. I loved Gal-hee and her frizzy hair and her comfortable shoes, which makes this drama so much better for me because sometimes it’s easier for me to love the main male character more since he is being swoony and all, but it always takes me a while to really like female characters. I’m trying, really though, to pay more attention to my girls out there in dramaland working hard! Still… I totally fell for Kim Young Kwang, lol❤. I look forward to both their future projects:) Once again, I’ll repeat how aweeesome it was that Min-ik’s disability wasn’t suddenly cured! He learned to live with what he had to the best of his abilities and then when he was feeling good, he was able to enjoy it as much as possible. What a nice message to all of us. We all have something, but we have to enjoy those good moments in our lives because we don’t know how much longer it’s going to take for another one of those moments to come.😀

      Side note: I couldn’t help, but laugh and be simultaneously angry on Gal-hee’s behalf on her first date with Min-ik. I’m the oldest of three and I, too, have a brother and sister, whom I have looked out after since we were little while my parents worked. We are all adults now, but they will always be los chamacos (kids) to me. My baby sister and I have an age gap of eight years, which to my Mexican family means that I have been basically taking care of her ever since she was old enough to walk and my mom had to go back to work. So, I understand that feeling of wanting your younger sister to be better off than you and trying to help her get there. My brother and I are four years apart and though for the most time while growing up I felt alone and mature all by myself, he has finally caught up and now I can share many things with him and cry if I need to. All of this to say, my family is totally the type that would tag along on a date, or “andar de colados” in the Spanish vernacular. Probably not on a first date because someone will get hurt, but they don’t pass up free food, lol. I feel like hanging out together allows that new person to loosen up a little and get to know each other better. Trust, I’ve been there with both my bro and my sis and their special someones and my parents. Beanies, I’m like the fifth wheel now!😭 More like the seventh if you count my parents T.T
