In-Depth Analysis

Perfect Partner is an office romance drama that explores the genre of friendship, comedy, and romance pretty decently. The storyline of the drama is pretty nice and well-written though it had a much better scope which the writers failed to explore. The characters are written appropriately, which suits the overall vibe of the drama. The development of the relationship between the lead pair is quite natural, and even if it’s slow, the progress seems quite natural as the relationship grows from friendship into love. Some of the characters have their flaws which might eventually annoy many viewers but even so, these are bearable. The relationship between the other characters, however, had a rather vagueness attached to the nature of it.
