> Secretary romance & Prosopagnosia overcooked Fluffy Romance! Don't take anything seriously because the drama didn't.

This drama was about as cliche as romantic comedy dramas in kdramaland could get. Literally grab a kdrama bingo card and play along while watching this.. I bet you can score bingo within the first four (eight) episodes.

PLOT
-----
As mentioned beforehand what a bunch of cliches and also absolute madness. Literally. Things did not make sense.. I tried to rationalize it being that since he's lost his sight it takes him a while to get used to his other sense but holy sh*t the stupidity was wild in this one. I am a fan of messy plots and find them entertaining if done correctly, unfortunately the gaps were quite glaring in this one. I did appreciate that it portrayed face blindness in a way you don't typically see in these kdramas [spoiler] and that he wasn't magically cured at the end.[/spoiler]

CHARACTERS
-------------
I was equally charmed by Do Min Ik as I was irritated by his some of his earlier actions. I have a soft spot for Young Kwang so I felt his pain in the moments when he had to adapt to not being able to recognize faces. I also thought his character was a tad inconsistent. There was some growth in there somewhere and it may have taken fourteen or so episodes to truly see it but it was there.. Shhh.. Just focus on the cute moments guys!

Gal Hee was not attractive and doesn't try to be and it baffles me ; may be I am shallow; but how can a Chabeol like a grandma in red-cardigan ? I was supposed to feel sorry for her when she got exposed but instead I was like "damn this is dumb".

Dae Ju... Yeah nothing against the actor cause he did what he had to do but it was just very blah, his best scenes were naturally with VERONICA PARK. Speaking of... The highlight of the show was for sure Ms. ORIGINAL Veronica Park, right off the bat we are expected to see this vain, b*tch, maneater and while she is certainly all of that and more, you can see that above all else she is a child who is afraid of her mother and immature in love. She was endearing and funny and smart and certainly a scene stealer.

VERDICT
----------
I would recommend if you want something sweet to cleanse your palette after something despicably harsh or disappointing, but literally hold no expectations while going in. A minute story and inbetween 45 minute filler but the filler is so bad you rarely laugh on the jokes. It is a disaster and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but wouldn't stop you from watching ; If you focus on the fluff and don't think too much (clearly something the writer/directors didn't do) then it will be easy and breezy to get through...
