    I started to watch this drama because of Lee Min Ho who's my favourite actor but I needed to watch only one episode to come to like Park Gae In a lot. Maybe the story wasn't a masterpiece but I think it wasn't bad- I had a lot of fun while I was watching this drama. The actors were good- especially Lee Min Ho. I must admit I do not pay attention to music in films and dramas- I can't recall even a fragment of any song from this drama so it makes me feel sure the music wasn't outstanding but on the other hand I remember it wasn't annoying. I like this drama quite a lot so maybe I'll watch it again although I'm not read more

    Good Drama! The lead male Jeon Jin Ho (Lee Min Ho; skip Boys over Flowers and watch this) is not only gorgeous but also acts honerably, for the most part, with the people in his life and mostly with Park Gae In. I like how their friendship develops over time into love. I can not give this a higher rating because there were some boring parts. There was also some choppy editing/directing but mostly it is enjoyable and fun! Its a drama to watch after a heavy melodrama when you want something lighter.

  • Both dramas have this similar female main character.

  • The premises are more or less the same: two people with little or nothing in common live under the same roof and inevitably fall in love. If you liked the first, it's easy you'll like the second. If you didn't, the same parallel applies

    I feel the need to rewatch this drama, even though I too disliked the female lead and wanted to smack a few times..ok more than a few. i did learn to enjoy her character. I think when I realized I really liked her character is when she started to change the way she dressed around him, I thought that was the cutest thing. She knew how she felt and had resigned herself to be happy beside him. I think the most underrated person was Jung Sung Hwa, that man had me laughing the whole time him and his Unni's. Yes i might have on rose-tinted glasses hence the need to rewatch its been a lil over a year. A good time to refresh myself on some good dramas.

    how can you guys possibly hate son ye jin? I think she played that character far better than how lee min ho played his character. I think that was planned for her character to seem pitiful and irritating, but it was cute at the same time. THIS DRAMA IS ONE OF THE BEST ROM/COMS EVER IMO. VERY UNDERRATED!

    Couldn't even finish episode 2. It was boring and too slow. The Main girl was annoying and the only thing that was interesting was the main guy character.
    Kind of disappointing since so many people like it
  • hvnlyslayerangel Oct 13, 2012
    This drama is funny; and the main female lead really does progress as the drama unfolds! She starts out frumpy, clumsy, and annoyingly stupid, but she does get better!

    I was not happy with this at first. I really didn't even want to finish episode 1. The clumsy lead character was irritating and I didn't think she was pretty! But as the first and then second episode progressed, I started really liking it! She went from irritating to seemingly real and more human than what most dramas seem to portray. Now I'm super ready to see more and see how this progresses into the drama filled romance I've heard about

    I didnt know who Lee Min Ho was at the time I watched this a while back. I guess because of that fact, I really enjoyed it! It was funny. I still like it even today!!

    I didn't really like this drama and it kind of turned my off Lee Min Ho. I can't really put my finger on it, I just didn't like him in this. He was good in City Hunter and BOF but I guess I just didn't like this drama as a whole.
  • blackswindler Aug 22, 2012
    it's one of my favourites ... I really liked the songs in this drama. The only thing I didn't like was the actor who plays the main role - Lee Min Ho

    I liked the story but I didn't like the actress Son Ye Jin. She really acted her role good BUT she looked old. She and Lee Min Ho didn't look good together.

    I think its boring. I only wanted to watch this because Lee Min Ho is one of my favourite actors. I'm still watching episode 2 but it's too boring. I don't want to waste time. I'll put this show on hold.
  • Day-Z Aug 5, 2012
    A good storyline, could have been extremely entertaining but the female main role irritated me so much! She was just so pathetic I found myself shouting at the screen. This prevented me from watching the whole series and gave up at around the 9th episode. Lee Min Ho was fantastic as always though :)
