Cyrano Agency

Cyrano Agency Synopsis: (from AsianMediaWiki)
The Cyrano Agency consists of four people from a theater troupe who offers a unique cupid service for lovelorn clients. The company intricately devises and implements schemes, custom tailored to match the interests of their intended target, for the ultimate goal of obtaining romance for their client. The boss and mastermind behind the agency is Byung-Hoon (Uhm Tae-Woong).

Things take a strange twist at the Cyrano Agency when a new client named Sang-Yong (Daniel Choi) enters their office. Sang-Yong is a straight-laced financial trader who is rather inept with personal relationships. He has fallen for a free spirited woman named Hee-Joong (Lee Min-Jung) and seeks out the Cyrano Agency's help. The boss for the Cyrano Agency, Byung-Hoon, then notices that Hee-Joong is his ex-girlfriend with whom he has really never gotten over…


My comments:
Cyrano Agency is an average romantic comedy that viewers can watch at ease because it wasn’t complex or anything. I didn’t care about the courtship of Hee Joong by Sang Yong with the help of Cyrano Agency because the whole thing was cheating. I fail to see what is romantic when the makeup, costumes, encounters and dialogues were scripted for the big moment: the confession or the proposal. I was more interested in the past between Byung Hoon and Hee Joong as they had the ‘he said/she said’ about the breakup. Nothing surprising though. I did crack up at that failed attempt to smack Byung Hoon with the bottle of wine.
