The drama flips traditional romance cliches, showcasing a female lead who confidently guides her male secretary, eliciting cheers for the "cool sister" trope. Lee Jun-hyuk's understated yet impactful performance ignites a thrilling sense of excitement, while his quiet care for Ji-yoon (played by Han Ji-min) positions him as the ideal romantic hero, winning over viewers' hearts. As his character gradually becomes more concerned for her, the emotional depth becomes increasingly convincing, leading to the sentiment that "Eun-ho was brought to life by Lee Jun-hyuk."

Moreover, the chemistry between the two actors creates a tension that rivals even a kiss scene, drawing viewers deeper into Ji-yoon and Eun-ho's story. The moments where they express their desire to get closer yet hesitate due to reality are beautifully portrayed through subtle hand gestures, amplifying the emotional weight. When they finally decide to pursue their feelings and become a couple, their sweet expressions of affection send dopamine levels soaring with each episode. The detailed facial acting and the vivid emotional connection between the two characters naturally lead to viewers becoming deeply invested, resulting in a surge of fans expressing their love for the "Kang-Yu couple."

With their perfect romantic chemistry and acting synergy, Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk have driven the narrative of the drama.
