This is the story of two reporters who are assigned to work together, and they don't really like each other at first. Of course that changes over time. The series was about half romance and half of them actually working, and surprisingly one of them smokes (cigarettes) through the series which you rarely see in these types of shows. While the acting was good, there was no real feeling of romance or passion in the script, it seemed more matter of fact that they worked together so they got together. It wasn't bad and I did enjoy it, but it felt like it was lacking something.
