A drama that does the tomboy trope justice

Other than Coffee Prince, this only other decent androgynous/tomboy representation in kdrama history. This is another one of my all time favourites. I love, love, love this drama. It's fun and 'wild' and knows exactly when and where to put in the heavy stuff in but keep it humorous and generally enjoyable the same time. I'd marry Eun Jae if I could, she's so crazy and wonderful. She takes her job very seriously and isn't constantly pandering to Moo Yul. She doesn't put up with his BS and I love how she stays the same even after falling in love. I hate it when tough female characters lose their edge once in a relationship but she remains true to herself which is just refreshing to see.

This drama also has one of my favourite side relationship storylines. Tae Han and Dong Ah have my heart. Shy, straight laced manager Tae Han and confident, eccentric yet sexually forward Dong Ah. It's a match made in cinema. She brings him out of his shell and he reels her in - it's beautiful. I also love that Dong Ah and Eun Jae are both well created representations of non traditional femininity, which again puts this drama up there for me.

The only thing that annoys me, like others have said, is the general lack of romance, especially in a show called 'Wild Romance'. I normally could care less about romance in a drama so good on it's own, but the directors generate so much sexual tension in all the relationships only for them to be barely realised. It's sad really but a girl can dream...
