Yes! The eye candy, the smile, the tallness, the oozing hotness and fashion sense… that’s all Lee Min Ho in this drama which he pretends to be GAY.
This is a really hilarious drama with conflicting emotions to watch. Why? It’s so hard to believe that he’s gay and that an older man likes him with the thought of him being gay. Anyways, putting that aside, there’s another reason that made me watch this: Son Ye Jin.
Yes… the epic melodrama actress.
I really wanted to know how she’s going to be in a comedy. I’ve always seen her in melodramatic movies and this one she nailed! Though she’s gotten older and her prettiness pretty much disappeared in this drama, I still love her to bits.
The series was quite hilarious due to it's main concept: guy pretends to be gay, girl accepts guy whole heartedly because of his sexual orientation but ends up falling for him and having mixed feelings because she believes he is gay. With this as your core plot, there are a LOT of things that could happen and eventually it did.
The only downer side of this is when we get to the last 3 episodes and this becomes too serious for my taste. I was sort of disappointed on how they inserted additional conflict to the story along with a twist, when the main conflict - guy pretending to be a gay - was already interesting enough. The twist wasn't even strong enough to make an impact in the whole story line. Just to say.
All in all, setting that disappointing factor aside, I still end up loving the drama :)

It's no different from it's synposis, a clean freak-arrogant-proud-always- get- what- he- wants guy meets an untidy-impulsive-stupidly-kind hearted girl and the God of love pulled a fast one on both of them. And of course, there are characters that don't want both of them to be together. Actually the storyline might not be any difference, but the plot was well-laid.
The main characters had issues from their past, that they've lived with and they have to challenge their present, in other to be able to solve (let go) the past. Most of the characters also underwent some changes as the drama unfolds i.e they had a better and clearer perspective towards life and...... The acting and the characters were wonderfully portrayed, mixing the characters up would be impossible.
The OSTs were really good, I for one have no complaints whatsoever about the OSTs.

BUT, notwithstanding of all these, I recommend to watch "Personal Taste"

If u like dumb clumsy annoying female character this drama is for u.
I started watching it after going through good reviews, & of course becoz of lee min ho, but in the last.. it was... Borrriiing...The comedy lacked
Plot circling around an old house & cheating ex bf & bff
Female lead, dumb, clumsy, stupid, easily manupulated, no bravery, and messy, a grown up but acts more like a child
Male lead lacked chrasima
Utterly boring, i hoped for many time it will get better. But in last I decided it to just drop.
The cheating ex & bff seems more imp in the story so no point to continue watching it.

1. Great acting from both leads as well as supporting roles.2. Great plot, yes there were some cliche moments and etc. but wasn't it enjoyable?
I mean come on, Lee Minho had to pretend to be gay... YES, GAY!!! He also had to act as a love/makeover/dating expert for the female lead, let's just say... I learned quite a lot in those scenes... and you would too if you join the bandwagon!
3. I think this is quite subjective but I found this drama to be extremely rewatchable, Idk why but yeah... for me this drama is kinda like a classic, something I would watch repeatedly without getting tired of the drama.
I've watched some other dramas acted by Lee Minho before stumbling upon this treasure but I never actually like those dramas, like for example, the one and only "Boys over Flowers". Yes, I know, it's kinda like a classic as well and probably a lot of people's first-ever dramas (it was mine), and maybe that drama was the start of people's deep infatuation with Lee Minho. But for me, this was the drama that Lee Minho truly shone his versatility in acting, even though he acted in this drama quite early on in his career, he managed to portray the male lead perfectly, he manages to capture the maturity that is needed to be able to portray the male lead properly, all the while still at the start of his career. It was from this drama, that truly showcased to me how much potential Lee Minho has in the field of acting.
I don't really understand why the ratings of this drama in this platform seem to be so low but I don't care, this for me is the best K-Drama. Sorry, not sorry. So, hopefully, for people who've been planning to watch this drama now for quite a while or for people who have given up on watching this drama because of the low ratings and have returned to this because you're bored or something, please don't just look at the ratings, look at the other reviews made as well. I really recommend this to anyone and everyone, so please watch this and rate this drama higher. LOL.

This program has a classic fun idea, but has some story foot-dragging that delayed its end
-- probs cause the studio needed 16 EpisodesI'm a sucker for this sort of plot-line & I still had issues with this program. I believe this program didn't have enough ideas to warrant 16 hour long episodes. This is a great show to dabble in and get out quickly whilst the going is still good. The phrasing referring to a gay person being less than a man was mean-spirited in my opinion, but I suppose that could've been the South Korean culture or scriptwriters bias at the time (all this social convention stuff is protean; so hopefully it has changed for the better as of now or anon). You could try to watch this program at a quickened pace or skip the filler bits like one does with the 40%+ Naruto filler, but it'll be a puzzle. So you'll probably need to find a person who had already watched the program to tell you which bits are the good bits.
Methinks I got out at a good spot. I waited to find out how he was going to come out, and his coming out ended up sort of meh so ROFL. This show had potential, but it sort of faded for me around episode 7-11.
