A better version of a lot of shitting office romances

The beginning of this drama does not bode well for the ML because he is intolerable HOWEVER he develops slowly throughout the drama to be a decent human. Meanwhile, FL is an outstanding truly hardworking gal and is exactly what you would expect from someone who is emotionally secure and stable. The ML actually had emotional baggage and terrible communication skills (his family dynamic with his father is proof). Just as the FL learns how to work and do the job she dreams of with all the minor hurdles, the ML (especially near the last 10 episodes) must deal with his problems. If we solely focus on this aspect, it is not bad drama. I actually would have SLIGHTLY preferred a friendship story, but oh well. Onwards...

The problem with this drama lies in a lot of the cliches that were thrown in, the bad guys, and the lack of necessary developments. There was also a scene that genuinely PISSED ME OFF because it was a chargeable offense. Many of the side characters were also one-note and interfered too much. The drama drags unnecessarily (a typical move).

What I enjoyed the most about this drama was Seven Tan's acting. There were also a lot of great lines delivered and the banter we did get from the FL & ML is cute. The reason I think this drama is better than a lot of shitty office romances is that it delivers good acting, and lines, and it doesn't brush aside the actions of the characters as nothing, especially the ML (being a not-so great boss and rude).
