This is about a mysterious man known as the “silent monster” Eun Hwan Ki (Yun Woo Jin), the director of the top public relations agency in the business. No one knows much about him because he always avoids eye contact and appears coldly aloof and arrogant, but in truth he’s an extreme introvert — a PR exec who hates attention and is too shy to be around people. Chae Ro Woon (Park Hye Soo) begins work at Eun Hwan Ki’s company. She is very energetic and receives recognition for her work, but her only interest is in CEO Eun Hwan Ki. She plans to reveal who Eun Hwan Ki really is.

I am agree with a whole comment above. Honestly, i almost stop this drama in first 4 eps. Cz i think the story not interesting and the boss act too much. I think one who called introvert is because they are individualize, didnt has many friends, the introvert character that represented in this drama is too much. I m glad they improve the story. The boss character not too much again. And yeah, i think day by day the story become soooo interesting. And i really like soundtrack that sang by sandeul in OST part 3 and Kim EZ in part 5. Beautiful ost. I like it.

This is the worst drama I’ve ever seen!! U fucked up. To the person who wrote this story and the idiots who backed him/her,ur all fucken screwed ur careers away!!! In the world of entertainment u get one chance and u pissed it away with this rediculous piece of shit. U couldn’t get it right the first time and u rewrote it the second time and still came out as horrible shit!! All of u need to get out of the entertainment business and just go and get a job in a another field and not in entertainment!!

Love this drama!! They are so cute together. The characters are really Realistic, silent man and lively girl get along well the most. Ppl may prefer romantic man also teasing around, while this character’s kind of talkless but sincere. Anyway, hope the drama gain a lot of successful, whatever anybody say I will always support all of them. Great Drama!!! Love it so much..

Love this drama…

Have not watched this drama yet, but it’s hard to get an idea of the content since the reviews are so mixed………………………………….but I do believe that ” foul mouthed ranting” should not be allowed no matter how good or bad a drama may be. As one reviewer wrote, don t watch.

I like this drama .. Maybe for the first time I think it’s really boring for real .. But I keep watch this and I think I like the quotes and the moral of this drama ..
March 19th, 2017 at 12:37 pm
the leading actress has poor acting ability
March 22nd, 2017 at 2:02 pm
To me it is something different. I actually quite enjoy watching this drama and maybe the first few episodes were a bit boring but on the whole was a good drama and all casts were good too. I do not agree when people commented that this drama was not good.
It is so much better comparing to Night Light which some said it was good. Just the opposite I found Night Light is more boring . Anyway do watch this one if you haven’t watch, it is emotional, compassionate,regrets, love and happiness, which made the drama interesting to watch

I’ve watched this drama until ep 13. As much as how stupid Ji Hye for committing suicide, I think the blame is to Hwan Gi’s family especially Yi Soo and Hwan Gi. The pressure that they put on Woo Il is just too much. I don’t like how Woo Il is put on the blame for Yi Soo’s death. At least Hwan Gi still has Ro Woon, who does Woo Il have? He couldn’t do what he wants for his life just because of his insecurities that Hwan Gi’s family put on him.
I’m having second lead syndrome not because I want Woo Il to be with Ro Woon. I don’t root for them at all. I just feel sympathy toward Woo Il’s life.
March 24th, 2017 at 9:03 am
I mean Ji Hye’s death.
March 24th, 2017 at 12:41 pm
Just finished watching this drama. I’m glad it’s happy ending for everyone. I think this drama is ruined by the suicide plot. Other plots seem okay.

i almost stop on this drama when i realize that the there’s a huge chemistry between the older sister and the introverted boss.. but then again i was so bored and nothing to watch.. so i watched it till end.. and was soo happy when i saw the episode 14? or 15?.. yes yes… they should have lots of scenes together.. i know you cant change the lead, but still you manage to make it right.. the truth is, while watching every episode.. i was hoping that there will be scene with the lead actor and the older sister realizing their chemistry together.. im not good with english i hope i explain this right.. 😛

Idk why people are so mad about this show when most of them just stopped watching, this drama is great, although the ending seemed a bit lackluster, although to be honest, it was my fault for expecting a proposal XD. This is a great show though if you give it a chance as it’s plot needs time to develop. The characters were to me very relatable as they gave off similar feelings to people I could relate them to, making it easier to create an attachment to them. One issue I faced however, was the issue of a lack of character development of Woo Il and Yi Soo, they barely progressed by the end of the show, that and the situation with reporter Woo and his vengeance was never solved.

Quite a creative direction but not easy to form the script, can image script writer have hard time to continue the script, coz not usual romance story in starting part. Sort of challenging romance with hilarious plots, very funny, and quite like the later part talked more on leadership and work relationship.
Always like to watch korean drama, coz they dare to try new idea, new plot, sometime we learn things from the drama. Audiences like us should challenge ourselves as well. ^.*
