Go Ho tends to give things in her
life star ratings – it's probably a trait of being an advertiser
and habitually comparing products and services. She supports her
mother and unsuccessful, perpetually a student brother, so she also
writes articles for online magazines on the side. Work is difficult
enough with cranky Manager Kang constantly yelling at her, but it all
takes a turn for the worse when Go Ho's ex-boyfriend is suddenly
hired and placed as her direct manager. The webzine writing isn't
going well either, until one night when inspiration strikes: rating
her single male co-workers. What happens when Go Ho starts to realize
many of her male co-workers are giving her extra attention? Will she
ever find out the reason why her ex dumped her? And how will she feel
about love transforming her hotheaded boss?
*Cute,
quick watch. The plot is not complicated, but enough attention is
given to character development that the viewer is hoping, curious and
ultimately satisfied along with Go Ho. The only part I didn't like
was the one manager that was blatantly sexually harassing the women
in the office – it was so over the top and made me feel
uncomfortable. I think it was to *spoiler alert* justify him being
beat up in the end, but I think that could have been accomplished
with a lot less grossness on screen. I was pleasantly surprised with
Kim Young-kwang's performance (Kang Tae-ho), as he was the second
male lead in “Pinnochio,” which was not a favorite drama to begin
with, and that character was more happy-go-lucky. *spoiler alert* Kim
Young-kwan pulled off the aloof, strong male lead quite well, and I
wouldn't mind seeing him in a longer production as the male lead. I'd
watch this again.*
