Youngie - “What makes you always so confident?” Oh Soo - “I just don't want to be pathetic.” I had to take a break towards the ending but then got right back on board after skipping several minutes of predictable anger and drama after the shit hits the fan. After things settle back down, I really liked what happened with the characters. It even felt like the acting improved. Young Youngie is a serious and sad little thing. Cynical too. But she's not one to be messed with. Even though she is disadvantaged in many ways and doesn't care about what is happening around her she knows how to stand up for herself in a heartbeat. When she does comes round to wanting something, she will make it happen. I liked seeing her browbeat someone who she has allowed to browbeat herself because she simply can't be bothered. She refuses to be manipulated. It's true that she hates accepting help but I didn't like that Oh Soo overdid things for her. Youngie really comes to love Oh Soo quite quickly. It was nice to see her have a safe haven even if it was built on lies. I liked how confident she became in their relationship and it was nice to see her feel so comfortable with him that she'd take him for granted and become a demanding little sister instead of always pushing him away or relying on herself. Throughout the drama, you can never blame Youngie for anything, she is strong and makes her own way. I think I didn't like her as much because I really really like the actor who plays the hero (Jo In Sung) and I was always on his side no matter what, so that kind of skewered my perspective of her. Oh Soo I first saw Jo In Sung in That's Okay, It's Love. He has such a lazy, arrogant persona. Oh Soo doesn't like himself very much. He doesn't have a lot of will to live but when he starts a con, he goes all out. He knows how to con really well. The people around him worship him, but he can't get it into his thick head that he's someone that people love. One of the characters points out that Oh Soo knows how to put down his pride for love. And that is true. He is open about how he feels and he can make himself vulnerable. He is at his best when he is bluffing someone. I really like how well he portrays that arrogance and the smugness. Jin Sung This guy just broke my heart over and over again. He is so loyal. He has his own problems and he just wants to stick with Oh Soo till the very end. Actually, he's more like a mother bear around Oh Soo. He'll get Oh Soo through come hell or high water and he still smiles. My gosh, this kid. Moo Chul I actually grew to like this guy quite a lot. He has a very soothing way of speaking even when he's threatening someone.
