I really disliked this show. Sorry! I know it has loads of fans and I can see why it would, it's flashy and the actors are gorgeous, but I hated the storyline. Basically the main actress shouts her way into having Stockholm Syndrome and falls in love with a guy who tried to have her sexually assaulted. He was jealous, controlling and vindictive and I just didn't get it. The "But I changed him" thing doesn't work for me. I never saw the change, he's just beautiful. I know that my main issue with this is not exactly this drama's fault, it is in the original manga, which I have also read in an attempt to understand the hype over this drama more. I also watched the J-drama version. After all the tears and tantrums and chloroforming, I not only disliked the drama, but found it boring. Maybe I would have liked this if it was the first K-drama I had ever watched to get me addicted, but it was actually the third after You From Another Star an Coffee Prince and comparatively, this was just terrible. I did laugh ridiculously when "This must be Paaarrraaaadiiiiiiise" played out over Jun Pyo kicked the crap kicked out of him. Worst music choice ever for that moment. This is just my opinion though, I can understand that there are elements that probably would draw in a captive audience, but for me the first few episodes made me irrevocably hate the male protagonist and that damage was never undone. Send your brain on a marathon run before sitting down to this and you will have a great time.
