The drama was okay overall.
The actors were great. The romance was fine in general, and there was good comedy. The music was good too.
The story, however, was a bit uncomfortable to me. The main protagonist was constantly suffering, especially because of the main male lead, who had a horrible personality and bad character development. He seemingly  didn't respect the protagonist and constantly looked down on her because he was richer and thought he was more intelligent. The chemistry just wasn't too great. The second lead actually respected her and showed her his feelings in a healthier way, while the main lead just acted like the protagonist was stupid and pushed her around. I just felt the transition they made from the main male lead being the "mean guy" to "lover boy" was just messy,, he just seemed like an asshole overall.
But personally it felt like both male leads were just imposing themselves on the protagonist the whole time. Either because of the direction or the acting, it seemed as if the protagonist was generally not having a good time. And in general, it just felt like the main protagonist had bad characterization. She was shallow and didn't think through her feelings-- basically they designed her to be the typical "stupid" female lead.
I guess a lot of problems I have with this drama have to do with it being a bit older, since a lot of these aspects seem to be more common in dramas released in that time, but I don't really recommend this unless you're looking for something fun to kill some time.
