    The plot was very unique -a "baby faced" 34 year old women has to lie about her age in order to get a position she wants in the fashion world- and I thought it was a really cute drama. However in the middle I got a little bored with all the design competitions, as they got repetive and a bit old. Also the conflict with they guy's father and her father was a bit exasperating.

    The acting was very good on all parties, and I thought the male lead was so perfect at being annoying and immature one minute to really sweet and thoughtful the next. The music was fine and I would probably rewatch this drama if I ever have more free time, althought I

    My ratings for this are all over the place, which isn't a surprise given that my thoughts on Baby-faced Beauty is equally as scattered. In an attempt to organize my opinion, I'll just run through the given categories.



    Story: I gave this a 6 for story instead of the intended 5 because the story is what initially drew me to BFB. Age is an intrinsic part of how Koreans socialize with one another through their actions and communication. And so it was interesting to watch a 34 year old designer-wannabe struggle to play the role of the complacent youngster who's just a tad bit too opinionated when drunk. However, and this might be just cultural difference talking, her deference bordered on aggravating spinelessness.

    I AM SOOOOO GLAD I KEPT WATCHING! Although it was hard to keep going from episodes 1-3 because I really wanted to kill the female lead (I thought she was too weak) I kept watching & the rest of the episodes kept my interest. They were clever, funny & full of twists. I would watch this drama again.

    Sometimes tiny bit too childish and cheesy...but makes you smile.
    Its not shining romcom for teens, more like glowing romcom for family.

    I never realized how Choi Daniel's characters always annoyed me. I saw him in The Musical and the first episode of School 2013. It wasnt until then that I realized he was the same guy that's been annoying in ALL of these shows!!

    I skipped so much of this drama especially the later half, it just dragged a little bit too much. AND I honestly wanted her to end up with the CEO, there was a better chance that their love story would work because shes a designer under his company and she was acting all motherly with his kid.

    This drama was OK enough to watch. I don't think I'll ever get even close to rewatching. Some dramas you feel sad when you get to their ending, others like this one, you wonder why they ever made 20 episodes when 16 would have been better. I skipped episodes 16 to 19 and felt like I missed nothing and was okay for the ending. Watchable but forgettable.

    Awww this was so cute drama. Very good. And this is one of the rare dramas that doesn't have ANNOYING 2nd male lead.

    Just finished the drama and still have a big smile on my face! This drama progressed nicely (albeit, the constant fashion contests seemed a bit like an overused plot device near the end) and I really fully enjoyed it. What a great drama! Plus, Daniel Choi is just about the cutest thing around. =]

    I cannot believe how long it has taken the writers to actually make Lee So Young stop looking foolish & whiny. They FINALLY gave her a backbone!
