I was initially not interested in watching this drama - the published storyline seemed crass and very unkind. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that, while revenge on a ex-spouse was indeed part of the initial plot, it wasn't the majority of it. Yes, a plot about gaining and keeping self confidence might not draw in the crowds - but it should. Every person from potential villains to potential love rivals had a backstory that drew on a lack or an overabundance of self confidence. The plot, while fairly mild, had to do with real life experiences - who believes in your dreams? Who helps you achieve those dreams? What are the costs? Where does love - filial or romantic - fit into this? I like a plot where characters hold real jobs and real relationships. Cast wise - I knew of actress Lee Min Jung (Na Ae Ra) before but once again, she surprised me by developing a real, honest drama character. Yes - some nobel idiocy rears its head. But the rest of the time, her character is a nice, honest, hardworking-without-being-a-Candy kind of girl. The guys did a good job as well - you could really see Joo Sang Wook as the geeky-smart but not good at relationships Cha Jung Woo. Although he made some rough decisions, he was never off the charts as a hateful lover. And Seo Kang Joon's thoughtful co-worker Gook Seung Hyeon - what a charmer. Quite frankly - either guy would have been a good choice for our heroine. The supporting casts of co-workers, parents and siblings were also charming. What a great group portrait of a workplace and families! I am so glad I took the time to meet these characters - they deserve a much better plot synopsis. Although the main song in the soundtrack was definitely overused (think shades of the theme song of BOF!), the rest of the music was appropriate to the scenes and quite pleasant. All in all, this was a surprisingly good, short drama that drew me in and encouraged me to find other works by the main actors. Heck, I think I'm going to look up the writer as well! High rematch potential without too much over-emoting.
