Is it worth it

The most comfortable watch here and the least ambitious. A divorced copywriter lies her way into an entry level job at the publishing house run by her childhood friend, and the appeal is entirely the office: manuscripts, cover meetings, books treated as a business. Lee Na Young and Lee Jong Suk are warm rather than electric, and the age gap the plot keeps flagging never becomes a real problem. It flattens badly after episode ten, once the story runs out of anything to want. Put it on when you need a drama that will not hurt you.

A gifted writer who's the youngest editor-in-chief ever at his publishing company gets enmeshed in the life of a former copywriter desperate for a job.
