THE SHORT VERDICT:
A show with a fun concept that largely manages to deliver on its promises – quite a rarity in Dramaland these days, yes?
Im Ji Yeon sparkles in this and I absolutely love her, but I have to admit that it’s Heo Nam Jun who truly surprises, by infusing his character with layers and fun quirks – and the best swallowed leaked smiles that I’ve seen in quite a while. 😍
Our OTP is sparky and great together, and combined with Show’s blithe first half, make for a watch experience that feels both fun and satisfying.
Show’s final stretch does let up on the fun hijinks in favor of dealing with bad people and bad fates, but I do see this as par for the course, since these are built into the narrative from the beginning.
Stops short of being amazing because of some missteps, but I’d still say this is very, very solid.
