WOW! I loved this drama so much! I was hooked from the first episode and couldn't wait to watch it all. Out of all the dramas I have seen so far this had the most solid story yet, there were no plot holes, no over the top cliches and kept me on the edge of my seat. I was more of a thriller comedy with romance than anything else, but I'm still surprised how much I loved it. I loved the meta romance references too, and the writer making fun of all the drama cliches, like the back hug and the main character getting amnesia. I even liked the cut throat business conspiracy side of this drama too, even having me laugh out loud over some of the tactics. I hadn't heard of these actors but they made a killing performance especially Jung Kyung Ho and Yoon Hyun Min. At the beginning Jung convinced me that Kang Min Ho was a complete jerk, even to the point he physically hurt women, he was an evil bastard for sure. Later on though, he completely changed the character and I was looking at a different Kang Min Ho and really put on a stellar performance with all his adorable characters quirks, leaving me wanting to see more. Although I wished he retained some of his jerkiness from earlier along with his old hairstyle. <3 Seriously Kang Min Ho is the best drama character I have come across, just watching him is addicting! My only problem with this drama, and its a big one, is the female lead, Kim So Yeon. Throughout this drama she was as cold as ice, though she wasn't supposed to be. I found her performance completely underwhelming and emotionless. Although maybe it wasn't so much that Kim So Yeon is a bad actress, but that Jung Kyung Ho was amazing and completely outshone her... I thought that slowly she'd start to melt and be sweet with Kang Min Ho but I kept waiting and waiting and it never happened. I understand she's supposed to be a mature and serious person, but honestly I wasn't feeling the love she had for Kang Min Ho at all. It really let down the whole drama in my opinion. It felt like Kang Min Ho had a one-sided relationship with an ice queen. I also really liked the music, it wasn't over the top and it was refreshing to hear all the newest english songs whenever they were in cafes. As for the rewatch value, I will definitely rewatch this drama at some point to see Jung Kyung Ho's performance again. Honestly I would recommend this drama to everyone to watch. The story was amazing, the lead actor was amazing and it didn't have the seemingly obligatory meta cliches that korean dramas all have. WATCH THIS NOW
