v1olet's Comment :
Cerita : kalau suka drama profesi, boleh nonton serial ini.  Apalagi kalau suka advertising/periklanan, boleh dipertimbangkan untuk nonton drama ini.  Drama ini ringan, ada soal kerja, romance, komedi, cukup menghibur.  Ceritanya tentang perusahaan advertising kecil tapi kreatif yg bersaing dengan perusahaan advertising besar dan ternama yg berkuasa.  Bagaimana caranya supaya bisa survive dalam dunia periklanan yg kompetitif ?  Persaingan asmara tentu jadi bumbu penyedapnya.

Casting : Ada bintang-bintang yg sudah top seperti Han Chae Young dan Jo Hyun Jae, tapi mereka bukan lead, tapi peran antagonist.  Pemeran utamanya justru belum punya nama besar, tapi not bad. Bolehlah ...

Ending : Happy

Rating : 7/10
