The LONG PILL:
LOVED IT FROM THE OPENING SCENE! (Not kidding). Casting was nothing short of brilliant. From rich, entitled, family villains- to nosy, old-fashioned town folk who suddenly appear. Everyone committed to their roles and drew you in to their world. A world that you had no desire to leave. *If I listed each and every brilliant actor, this post would be too long.
Within the first 5 minutes of watching, I knew that Son Ye-Jin’s portrayal of YOON SERI, would make her an instant classic, and that we were in for a ride. Within the first 5 minutes, I knew that I liked her, I knew what type of character she would be, and loved that Seo Ye-Jin made such smart acting choices with line delivery, attitude, and those oh so famous “K-Drama Sarcastic Facial Expressions”. Plus, her surprising comedic timing was flawless.
And then something magical happened to her and the storyline when she “crashed” into Captain Ri Jung-Hyuk’s world, brought to life by the incomparable Hyun Bin. They have that special something-something that Kdrama magic is made of.
In the words of Missy Elliott: “She’s a B%tch! But a darn good one. It’s not easier being self-absorbed and still liked and adored. She’s got that in the bag.
Okay, I have to be honest, I was a little apprehensive about starting this drama and even dragged my feet on it for weeks. When I saw the cover and read the series description, I was less than enthusiastic to bite in to it. And I know I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but… I sometimes do, and especially when it’s regarding K-dramas, I do it waaaaaay more than I should.
Rule of Drama: You’ll find your prince faster by kissing frogs (boring covers), I guess.

This is the best Drama of 2020 so far. The writer/director made great choices with moving this train ahead. It came out of the gate swinging and helped to usher in a whole new wave of Kdrama Addicts. #GatewayDrug!
Side Effects:
You may develop Seo Ye Jin and Hyun Bin fever and join the. long list of hopefuls hoping that their chemistry translates to real life! (like me) This show became a classic because their love and on-screen chemistry is undeniable.
