Tonal whiplash, anyone? Initially described as a romance, this drama’s promo materials have been all over the place, and I’m left with the feeling that this drama might be darker and deeper than we originally thought. While I can’t guarantee the tone, I think it’s safe to say we are getting ye olde love triangle, with our heroine/concierge Seo Hyun-jin, and the two men (Kim Dong-wook and Yoon Park) that enter her life. There’s much to do in the promo material about how each of these characters is wounded and has this “heart of a child” aspect to them. Are we going for a more literal Thirty But Seventeen heart of a child, or something more like what we saw in Come Here and Hug Me, where childhood traumas kept characters from moving on emotionally? Either way, I’m here to find out.
