Even if she isn't Sung Joon's actual first love, that pairing has much more chemistry than our OTP does so far. The same can be said for Go Joon Hee as Ha Ri, Hye Jin's best friend. Yeah, his character is a little zany too, but his brand of zany actually makes me like Hye Jin more when they're together.

It's not all doom and gloom on the show, however! I'm pretty sure the amount of time it took me to catch a massive case of Second Lead Syndrome for Siwon's goofy reporter (and probably chaebol in disguise) must be some kind of record. Sorry, but if I were her boss, I would definitely fire her for trying to pull down my pants on the second day of work. Hwang Jung Eum needs a director who can tone down her over-the-top histrionics, but it feels like, if anything, the writer and director are encouraging her to dial up the crazy even more. A caricature is okay as a secretary, but it's not ideal to carry a show. I find it interesting that she called herself a supporting character because that's is exactly how she has been written so far. Unfortunately, Hwang Jung Eum's character isn't exactly a shining beacon of character depth.

How dare you treat everyone with contempt and then turn around and pretend to be sweet and charming to the girl you assume is your first love? It comes off as fake, and it kind of makes me not care about hearing his inevitable sob story. Instead of seeing a softer side to him in his sweet scenes with Ha Ri, I mostly just find those scenes annoying.

I don't feel that way about Sung Joon, however. As Oh My Ghostessso recently illustrated, it's possible to have a jerk boss character who is also empathetic and multifaceted from episode one. The problem isn't the type of character so much as the handling of that character so far. He's a K-drama male lead, so what did I expect? Of course he's going to be coldhearted and cruel for the first few episodes, and then we'll find out that something terrible happened to him in America and that's why he goes around telling presumable strangers that they are too ugly and awkward to deserve the same name as his first love. Let me start by saying that I found Park Seo Joon enchanting in Witch's Romance, so I really hoped to love him in this role. Thoughts so far: Ummmmmm I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are some major red flags in the first few episodes.

A series of events (aka FATE) leads them to work in the same office, but Sung Joon no longer recognizes Hye Jin. Ji Sung Joon (Park Seo Joon) was Hye Jin's first love, an overweight, awkward child who grows up to be a handsome, accomplished magazine editor. Premise: Kim Hye Jin (Hwang Jung Eum) was pretty and poised as a child, but loss of fortune and some unkind puberty turn her into an unattractive ( read: frizzy hair and too much blush) and noisy mess. Speaking of terrible male leads, let's talk about the first entry in the upcoming drama cycle � She Was Pretty. Dear Sung Hoon, if you flatly refuse to wear a shirt, I will happily use it to strangle your domineering character. It was both of those things, but it also took every single sexist trope that has ever bothered me in a K-drama male lead and put them into one (admittedly handsome) character. I just watched the web series Noble, My Love out of sheer desperation for something fun and mindless (because that's what web series do best). Am I the only one who has been longing for a new drama cycle? I'm in love with Twenty Again, but every other show on the air right now is making me roll my eyes and yawn at the same time.
