Wild Romance? Where? Did I Miss It?

Last weekend I decided to finally finish watching Wild Romance after many, many months of it being on my on hold list.  The drama originally aired between January and February of 2012, I watched the first episode probably sometime in March of last year and then promptly dropped it.  I hated the first episode.  I hated the characters, I wanted to bitch slap them so hard they would see cartoon birds circling their heads.  Last weekend, I was in the mood to give second chances so I decided to watch Wild Romance from beginning to end, damn it I was going to finish it no matter how many alcoholic drinks it took, the vodka did help by the way.
The drama stars Lee Dong Wook as Park Mu Yeol, a famous baseball player, and Lee Si Young, as Yoo Eun Jae, his spunky female bodyguard.

If only they looked this good in the drama...sigh.

The drama starts off with our two leads meeting in a karaoke bar and getting into a drunken scuffle since Eun Jae is a diehard fan of the rival baseball team.  This being dramaland it leads to her becoming his bodyguard to protect his image and her job.  They instantly hate each other, and I can see why because I hate them too. It seems that Mu Yeol is being stalked and that is the cover that they use for her becoming his bodyguard.  The first half of the drama they spend sniping at each other and making funny faces as they try to go about their daily lives.  She slowly warms up to him realizing that she has feelings for him that move beyond disgust, and just when you think that maybe this drama will be good in walks the crazy ex-girlfriend.
She is literally crazy something about her being bipolar and prone to go into catatonic stages.  She comes in to add a wrench to our main couple's pursuit of happily ever after.  It really pissed me off that our lead male has more kissing scenes and make out scenes with the crazy ex than he did with the main lead.  For an episode there I thought the drama was going to really surprise me and he was going to work it out with the ex and they would have the happily ever after.  Maybe that would have been more enjoyable.
The last fifth of the drama finally comes back around to the stalking plot, and it was meh.  It seemed to much like they were trying to turn what should have been an entertaining rom-com into a thriller complete with murder, psycho best friend, and bat shit crazy housekeeper.  I didn't buy it and only mildly entertained.  I knew from almost the start that the housekeeper was the stalker; she was just plain weird and overly hovering.
The only reason I didn't drop this drama a second time was because of the hilarious side couple of Manager Kim and Kim Dong Ah.  These two had more chemistry than the lead couple and more ahhh moments also.  They were wonderful.  From her asking about his fantasies and offering to watch porn with him to him losing his robot facade to defend her against the psycho bad guy.  I just loved them.  I want to see them in a drama again with more airtime.
