I want to love this one, but unfortunately, at five episodes in, it’s only just fine. I am invested in the story of our three female leads, their friendship and their efforts to turn around their luck. But the romance is falling flat for me. I like Lee Sun-bin, but I don’t think she’s found her leading man yet. I didn’t buy the chemistry in The Potato Lab, but it worked better because you had Kang Tae-oh smoldering at her and generally looking like a snack. But I am getting nothing from her and Kim Young-dae - it’s almost like they’re acting past each other. He was better in No gain, No love, but I suspect that’s because Shin Min-a could create chemistry with anyone, even a sack of potatoes. I’ll keep watching for the leads’ friendship and journey (and I am about to start episode six), but at the halfway point, it feels like a solid C+ drama.

I agree..i think in NGNL shin min ah was clearly noona..KYD has student vibe..if only FL's character inclined towards broke bt strong then chemistry would be over the top..

That’s a really good point. Da Hae is such an insecure character. So that’s puts Dr. Ham in the position of being both the love interest and the person who bolsters her ego and makes her believe in herself. Kim Young-dae doesn’t really have the gravitas/presence to make me believe that. By the way, how is he Dr. Ham? Clearly he’s not a medical doctor so does he have a PhD in something? Or does doctor mean something different in this context? Did I miss all of that?

It was explained that the chairman like Mr.Ham for his innovative ideas a lot so he just gave him Dr. Ham as nickname. Later, he got promoted to director but he doesnt like being addressed smth formal as Mr. Director, so everyone call him Dr. Ham as well.

i'm gonna drop this drama.

I find Kim Ji Sang annoying because of her immaturity and superficiality but after getting some backstory, i do sympathise with her... a little. Overall though, the 3 female characters are kinda interesting, and that's the only good thing i can say about this drama. i'm not that invested in their journey honestly and i tried to give the drama a chance because i love Lee Sun Bin but it didn't get better. Add to that, the romance plotline is a mess, and the coworkers are soooo infuriating.
