All in all, there are worse ways to spend your time. You could, for example, be unclogging a toilet, or watching reruns of Three's Company, which are on a par with each other. But, if you're running out of things to watch, on Netflix, like Hotel Del Luna, Mystic Pop Up Bar, Vincenzo, or Crash Landing on You, then give it a whirl. As with too many K-Dramas, this one packs 12 episodes worth of plot into only 16 episodes, resulting in too much cheesy romantic dialog, filler plot and that music I am growing to dread. The basic concept is a good one, but I think the 2 leads' weaknesses should have been linked to each other, where the plot seemed to have headed. As with most of these shows, the acting was good-yes, even the first male lead whose personality was supposed to be that of well-meaning cardboard. Grandpa was a pistol who usually stole his scenes, as was first male lead's sis, very well played, too. I didn't feel any chemistry between her and second male lead, but curiously, the only two compatriots who don't hook up, the female lead's manager and the first male lead's assistant, generated more romantic sparks then the others, all buried in their K-drama sweet roles. So, give it a shot. But, if you're growing tired after about 10 episodes or so, you can skip the rest, knowing with confidence where the plot is headed and avoiding too much fluff.
