Hikaru says:
The plot was promising and it made me curious to come back for more. I can even see Yi Han and Yoo Na's chemistry as a couple in this drama. I even appreciate that tvN despite being a cable channel is now at par with the mainstream channels in Korea. BUT what I didn't see, and this much I wished it didn't happen, is that this drama lost its capability almost half of the series. I don't know if its because of the switching of writers in the middle but I was really disappointed. In Na's character became so whiny and indecisive that I wanted to stop watching then and there. The plot suddenly sidetracked and lost its focus from the mystery of the murders and the hotel. I understand that this is a rom-com and that the focus could be because of the two leads but there were so many questions in my head that it really became too confusing. I finished watching this series for the sake of completing it and partly because I wanted to know who did In Na's character end up with.
