  This is one of those blatant cases where I can't help wondering why do they begin filming a drama when they haven't got the complete script yet? Why do they insist in making the viewer invest time and energies on something which changes from black to white in the space of an episode?
  
  
  
  This is so annoying, and so sad.
  
  Like everyone before me already pointed out, the lead actors did a brilliant job here. They are so natural together, it's a pleasure to watch them interact.
  
  But even cute has its limit, at least for me. I didn't know of the writer switch until the last episode, but the difference was evident. What used to be a quirky, funny, sweet and sexy script suddenly turned into a sugary, childish, cutie cute one, with these two chirping to each other for the duration of six, never-ending episodes.
  
  When mutual love has been loudly declared, the lie has come into the open, the antagonists are out of the games, what is left in terms of expectations? Who cares what they eat and when or how many times they hold hands?
  
  Somehow, they used all their good cards at the beginning of the game, only to drag it with uninteresting little scenes till the end. By the third ice-cream I was ready to smear it on the face of the director.
  
  
  
  Also, I was left wondering what happened to the majority of the characters? Were they sucked into some drama black hole, or sent en masse to Paris where they are happily eating escargots?
  
  
  
  The music was somehow schizophrenic. At the beginning I though it was horrid, with those very childish pop songs used at every turn. Then it improved a lot, it became more varied and able to enhance the feelings. At times it was hilariously chosen. Then it changed again and became a simple background sound, which I forgot a few minutes after it was played.
  
  
  
  Re-watch value is obviously low, unless something heavy hits me on the head and I think this drama's only got 11 episodes.

  I thought this was a really sweet, but predictable, love story. There was nothing original about this drama, but it does have some memorable romantic scenes. The leads are typical for KDrama, an ambitious/stubborn woman, and an arrogant rich guy with ocd. Anyone who's watched a few dramas will find it really easy to know what will happen next.
  
  The supporting cast was pretty good, but their stories were disappointing. Sung Joon was my favorite supporting character in the beginning, but after a while it was clear that his story wouldn't develop, and his acting started to feel forced. Hong Soo Hyun was fun as the annoying rival/friend, and I loved to hate her. Jo Yoon Hee didn't have a strong enough presence as the ex fiance, and I grew tired of her really quickly
  
  What kept me watching this drama until the end was the chemistry between Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan. The story starts to get really cheesy in the last episodes, but I still loved seeing them together. The ending tries too hard to be meaningful, but it was way too corny for my taste. I can't see myself rewatching this drama from the beginning, but I admit to revisiting a few of my favorite scenes. I loved the "cola" scene, and the karaoke scene made sure that "Ice cream" song was stuck in my head for weeks! read more

  My Girl

  These drama's have A LOT of similarities. Both of the leading males are rich and they both have similar friendly & supportive secretaries. Both of the male leads have a close friend/brother who becomes somewhat of a love rival, and like the same girl. & there's more that I just can't think of now.

  • The leads' interactions are very similar in both. Also, there are many repeated scenes in both.

  Full House

  Both series have a contract that the leads have signed. In Full House the motive is to share the house while in Lie to Me it involves fake marriage.
