Reasons to watch: I know a drama about an alcoholic female lead sets off about as many (maybe more) red flags as another recent drama, but the more I think about it, the more I wonder if there’s some serious potential here. After all, dramaland is filled with heroines who regularly drink themselves into oblivion and it’s merely played as a plot device. So I’m curious what Second Shot at Love will do with this theme.

Sooyoung plays our mechanic who relies on the hair of the dog, and Gong Myung — who’s totally getting around as a leading man lately — plays a doctor who was once her first love. Again, this drama is walking a fine line, and it’ll likely take an episode or four until we see what they’re going for and how enjoyable of a ride it will be, but it’s looking promising. I mean, I dare you not to smile at the cutie pie photos from the press conference!

TL;DR: Grab your non-alcoholic beverage as we watch this premiere, and let’s hope for a gem
