Not worth the hype

I was actually looking forward to this. It had such a huge star cast. I am writing this review several years after I watched it and a lot of the actors went to give some awesome performances elsewhere, but not here. It was so hyped up because it was Lee Minho as well as all the other cast. I think the rating shown here for this drama was made from just purely Lee Minho fans. Let me just say that I don't hate Lee Minho, I have enjoyed most of his other dramas like City Hunter, Personal Taste, etc. But not even having his beautiful face along with Park Hyung Sik and Kim Woo Bin could save it. I was also not a huge fan of Park Shin Hye's acting at this point in time...she has definitely improved since. I had hoped Lee Minho would be able to app up the chemistry with her and make it a good watch.

BUT OMG how a drama can get this bad I do not know. Plot sucked. It was like for all the progress kdramas made at the time just regressed to an overused plot of several different drams stuffed into one...like someone cut up the plots of different dramas and tried to make a drama out of it, just so they could have all these stars in it.

The acting by the leads and some of the secondary wasn't great. I have seen dramas where older actors play teenagers and a lot of times it looks a little odd but doesn't affect the tone of the drama. But sadly that was not the case, they all looked too old for school which made it weird. They could set it at uni and it may have been easier to believe.

There was some chemistry between the leads but the kissing scene was so bad that I wanted to throw something at the screen. There were no side characters that could have saved this...not even Park Hyung-sik with his comic scenes. Though I must say the frenemies scenes of Kim Tan and Choi Young Do (played by Lee Minho and Kim Woo Bin) were probably the only thing I enjoyed about this drama.
