"My Man Is Cupid" Is Pretty Much Mixing Romantic Comedy With Some Legal Drama (Some Spoilers)

It's known that I don't find Jin A Nana all too great. There are times I feel that she's good as a sideline character but not as the mainline. Sure, I enjoyed her in Oh My Ladylord or Memorials. However, I feel Nana's acting is simply meant to be meant for the sideline. So yeah, her role as Baek Ryun in My Man is Cupid was okay. It's because Baek Ryun isn't the main character.

Meanwhile, be ready for some Anime-ish humor as this show progresses. Let's face it October is Halloween month. That means any kind of horror goes. It coul...
