I don't regret watching this, but it wasn't a great experience. The first 25 episodes could have been summed up in one - typical kdrama-like - episode. So yeah that's 25x40 minutes of my life wasted. After that the show turns into an enjoyable romance drama that made me smile occasionally, but the comedy isn't very strong here. The writing is bad, there are many eyebrow raising moments, the master Miyagi-like Shifu's antics, or the fire scene in the last episode. Gotta give it to them though, at least they delivered on the whole "boy meets girl" thing & the show reached an acceptable, albeit rushed conclusion. There are some other positives too, such as the chaebol dad, the entertainment CEO & the second leads never really pass the annoyance threshold for melo & angst, the picture is pretty and also the tunes are kind of good too. I mean one shouldn't expect jaw dropping melodies, but some of the vocal performances were really one in a million. (heard some high tones, that reminded me of the aria scene from the 5th Element, but perhaps even more impressive)
