... yet another great K drama, but despite not attaining that standard it is still worth a watch.
The comic potential of the plot yielded some good laughs in mid-series. Plus the manifold barriers to the central romance created some emotional impetus. But just as I was beginning to think this was another Korean gem the implausibilities began to mount. Of course, the best dramas propel the audience through plot contrivances, sometimes so that you don't even notice them.
However, the final episodes add one huge implausibility too far, in an attempt to set the scene for a romantic crescendo at the end. But, for me at least, the impact was the opposite of that intended.
Sorry to be so ambiguous here, but I don't want to give the plot away.
