This drama is true to it's name. It is sweet, not too sappy. Mostly the plot sticks to the theme of the couple learning about love, family and responsibilities that come with it. The development of the lead characters and their relationship to each other is shown well. The nature of the relationship between the lead couple in this drama reminded me occasionally of the lead couple in 'It Started With A Kiss 2' (Naive girl,mature guy). But the similarity is only at an outer level,as the characters are different in both. The actors were good- all except for the lead actress. She was attractive and it would have made a big difference if only she had toned down the over acting. She was trying too hard to play up to the role of the naive/innocent teenage girl, and it was unnatural to watch. In contrast, the male lead actor was just right in emoting- that was a relief. Another relief was that that though the negative characters are there, their 'evil'ness doesn't amount to much and towards the end, even becomes humorous. I liked how the drama,while it deals with heavy family stuff, tries to set a middle tone about compromise between responsibilities and individual preferences. The drama ends on a positive note. The message they end the drama with is beautiful.
