Love Scout: Lee Jun-Hyuk and Han Ji-Min's chemistry gets thumbs up as show's ratings skyrocket (Check Reaction

Korean drama fans seem to have given a thumbs up to Love Scout. It has Lee Jun-Hyuk and Han Ji-Min in the lead. She is playing the role of Kang Ji-Yoon, the boss of a recruitment firm while he is her secretary. She is a dominating ruthless boss and no secretary wants to stick it out with her. Comes in Yu Eunho, who is efficient, calm, resourceful and reliable. He is there for her in his work hours, and goes beyond his expected duties to calm her down. We are seeing that the two are slowly forming an emotional connection that seems very endearing.

Mature romances seem to be the new buzzword in the K-drama world. We saw shows like The Trunk, Love Your Enemy that got great response from the audience. Love Scout also has a past connection between the two leads. Many fans feel this was unnecessary as all writers give romances this trope that feels too done and dusted. Lee Jun-Hyuk is doing a fab job as the single father with a huge amount of emotional maturity. Even Han Ji-Min is in top form. They have got together a really good ensemble of actors for this show on Viki.

It seems both our leads have some past trauma that needs to be resolved. Love Scout has a male protagonist who has all the qualities people expect from a perfect female lead. This gender switch is very interesting on the show. Lee Joon-Hyuk is known for his romantic roles. He was adorable in My Sweet Mobster. Indian and Asian viewers have compared the basketball scene of Love Scout with that of Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Anjali (Kajol) in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. He too is the single dad of a daughter. The show is seeing really good ratings in Korea. After When The Phone Rings, this show is the new craze.
