Eun Hwan Ki (Yeon Woo Jin) is an introvert
unable to look people in the eye. He has a hard time communicating, and spends
a lot of time contemplating about what to say in order not to hurt people’s
feelings. Due to that nature, being a CEO is impossible for him as he is unable
to stand in front of a big crowd and say what is on his mind. His best friend
Kang Il Woo (Yoon Park) on the other hand is an open and charismatic man, who
does all the social interactions instead of Hwan Ki. Unfortunately, Hwan Ki is
the more competent CEO, but due to his personality he is unable to show is, and
Il Woo gets all the credit.
Chae Ro Woon (Park Hye Soo) is
bubbly and outspoken theatrical actress. After her sister kills herself, she
decides to start working at the company her sister worked in, to find out how
and why her sister died. Her goal is to find the CEO for whom her sister
worked, and outs him as a tyrant. After getting involved in an accident, she
finds out that the CEO is Hwan Ki. So, she starts to work on her revenge, and
due to Hwan Ki’s personality, everything he does makes him even more suspicious…
I really liked this drama because
of the theme – anxiety. It is something that is taboo in Korea, so them doing
it in a sense of humor made it great to see. I laughed so much and I felt sad,
so I believe that the drama represents it very well. Yeon Woo Jin is amazing in
this drama, and he makes it so believable that I don’t think anyone else would
have done such a great job. The rest do a superb job, which makes it even
better.
Though I enjoyed the back story at the beginning, it started to get
ridiculous later, and especially the twist at the end made me annoyed. Also, the
final scene was cute, but just completely different than what this drama was
supposed to be. I mean Chae Ro Woons character went a 360 degree – I don’t want
to spoil, but it was just a complete change of character. Which made the
overall irritating, and didn’t make sense.
Anyways, a funny, cute and well-acted drama that I would recommend!
