First Impression - 100% Meh.
Girl A works at matchmaking service, there is no need to pretend that it is more than that. But Girl A wants to match with love, but based on the montage of clients, even they aren't interested. What is Girl A to do? Throwaway person (or not) with a F rating in Girl A's matchmaking job comes for help with setting up a meet with quintessential Korean A++ chick. In another show, this lovely lady would be the perfect feminine girlfriend of Hero Alpha before he meets crazy poor heart-of-gold girl. She sets up the blind date, but her 'plan' is foiled by the appearance of some dude whom A++ thinks she is in love with.

Seo Byung Hoon aka the Boss: So observant could be psychic |
She accuses Seo and the gang of treachery of the lowest order. He says fires back at her, what makes her love better than his [Better observation?]? Anyhoo his way is better, here's a job. She promptly tells him to go f himself [Not really] and sees her boss has fired her by text [Who does that? Someone needs to look into Korean employment laws]. She goes back to her work in the morning, and in the clear light of day, her boss has forgiven her silliness, but she decides she's rather have her harem so off she goes. She gets there and remembers she has to eat crow or a crow is eating her for she's making faces and flailing. She runs to hide in a restaurant and meets
Cha Seung Pyo the Chef: Love interest going to lose.
In their meeting which takes place in about a minute, he acquires the k-drama land expression of someone who's fallen but doesn't even know it [Korean male actors are miles better than a lot of their female counterparts]. He advises her to take the plunge. She tries not to fart.
She gets the job and I get bored of the show here.
Sob love story ensues. Surprisingly amusing hijinks follow. Insults are absorbed in the process of learning the job. I lose interest.
Conclusion:
Gotta say, it is quite prettily shot. It's like a Korean movie; all soft orange glows and what not. But Cupid has not shot his arrow at me for this one. The chick is pretty but bland. The guy is hot in his own special way but my heart doesn't go *shink*dugun* when I see him. The set up is a bit too gimmicky. From what I have read on the Internet it's one of those 'Flower Boy' shows...-.- neither of the previous ones grabbed me. Tho' the rest of the k-drama watching Internet were grabbed by the 'nads', personally I feel nothing.
