I was drawn to this drama because of star power cameo list. I expected an office drama with a lot of humor. Jo Yeo Jeong's episode 1 cameo was a fully developed story arc with a great performance. It was the highlight of the series. The rest of episodes became repetitive, formulated and problematic. The agency story lines were poor and not well executed since the thread holding them together was manipulative lies.

I know some liked this show, but I cannot recommend it (except for the first episode.) The ending was a terrible mess of open ended plot lines.

This series put me off because they took a vibrant and strong young actor - Joo Hyunyoung - and forced her to adopt that ridiculously babyish voice and that subservient persona. The gendered and deeply annoying portrayal of young women in some KDs is just infuriating. The French original had an inexperienced but interesting, charming, engaging newbie who spoke as an adult and earned her stripes. I can’t say the same about the Korean one.

I think I'm in the minority that liked this drama (Of course except the awful open ending).
I understand was people didn't like it. The characters were doing bad mistakes over and over and over again and it was frustrating. However I liked the characters and I was excited for the cameos, humor was good for me and the actors were excellent.
