16 Episodes
Viewing
Platform: Netflix, Dramafever
Simpering, cowardly and timid Nam Jung-gi
has a son, father and brother to help care for, but he loses his job
after blowing a marketing presentation to the large Gold Chemicals
that was supposed to be a “sure thing.” Gold Chemical's new team
leader Ok Da-jung is in charge of finalizing Jung-gi's proposal, but
she turns Lovely Cosmetic down after Jung-gi inadvertently spoils the
lotion sample and sexually harasses her, all because the inconsiderate new neighbor's moving crew blocked his apartment door with moving boxes. What happens when the
ill-tempered Da-jung decides to quit and join Lovely Cosmetic
instead? Will Jung-gi be able to provide for his family? And how will
Da-jung's three ex-husbands influence life at the burgeoning
cosmetics company?
*I've only seen Yoon Sang-hyun as a
confident male lead and slightly insecure but still full of himself
supporting character (“My Fair Lady” as the butler; “Secret
Garden” as the Hallyu star cousin). While many of his situations
are cringe-worthy awkward in the beginning of this drama, much like
the humor in American film “Meet the Parents” - which I can't
stand - I still wanted to see him play this totally opposite type of
character. It was intriguing to see what happened to the character
developmentally. The music is fun and well done, but there is very
little in the romance department, as the drama focuses on the
business side of the employees' lives and relationships. I probably
won't watch this again since it lacks romantic tension, but the
musical score is good, and there is good character development, so
it's worth at least one viewing.*
