    For a drama called Romance Town, I went in to this drama expecting a great deal more romance than what we are presented with. In fact, the biggest story point of this show isn't even mentioned in the synopsis, which is the lottery ticket and money. I almost regret that I stuck through to the end with this drama, but there are a couple of things that almost make it worth the 20+ hours I invested in it.

    First, could Jung Gyu Woon be any more adorable? I mean, seriously, that is one good looking guy. Even Kim Min Joon (whose MDL picture just does NOT do him justice!) is ridiculously cute in this show. I felt like they could have done more with both characters,

    Confession: Out of all of the May/June dramas, I was most addicted to Romance Town. Not The Greatest Love, or Lie to Me, or even City Hunter. Nope. My drug of choice was Romance Town.



    "But Romance Town doesn't have a plot!" Well, there is a plot, but it without a doubt became a secondary concern for the writer. What the writer brought to the forefront was a thoughtful (albeit at times heavy-handed) and quirky character study, and it was this slice-of-life aspect that grabbed me. The characters became so real that I found myself accurately predicting their every move, not because the plot itself was predictable, but because I came to know these characters so well in and out that guessing their

  • The main guy's character is similar in both series, at first he's weak and then changes both physically and mentally. He becomes stronger.

    It was all good till the greed kicked in and I couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Wish for more romance instead of that constant fighting over money. Another dropped drama... sigh.

    If the love stories weren't so good and the side characters so hot i would have dropped this drama for all the greed. I'm pretty sure at this point if would win the lottery I would run away screaming and crying. But was so good just man so much greed

    In the beginning, it looked promising. But it sucked towards the ending. I stopped at episode 12 and then just jumped to the last episode. Oh, and if you ask me, the title is also unfitting (romantic moments hardly ever appeared on screen.)

    The maids greed just spoiled it for me, I just did not like how the characters started acting, it was quite annoying.

    agree with sandition when saying that "It's like Desperate Housewives" even tough never saw any ep of Desperate Housewives, Romance Town gives me that impression but even tough i`m at ep 12 i wouldn`t give it a 10, but still it`s better than expected, so just try it.... it`s really fun ^___^
