This drama is angsty (yes, I made that word up) romance. There are really no light hearted happy moments in this drama from beginning to end. I admit I watched the whole thing solely because of So Ji Sub and Ha Ji Won. There really was no reason to drag this out for 20 episodes. Geez…if only my psychosis would let me skip episodes!!! The story is pretty typical. It is a little twisty at the end and is the only truly interesting part of this drama. It is a love square, triangle…something. Rich boy vs. poor boy and rich girl vs. poor girl. All of the families are totally atrocious. So Ji Sub is beautiful and can act. In Wook had the Jung family figured out from the beginning. He is smart and handles them with style. I didn’t particularly like Ha Ji Won’s character. I don’t like her playing a weepy character, but she is still as beautiful as ever and acted well considering what she was given. I will say that I find it acceptable that she could love both men. I had never seen Jo In Sung in anything, but I thought he did an outstanding job. Jae Min is actually the only one that I came even close to liking, mostly because he tried the hardest. He is the cutest when he laughs at the absurdity of the situation. I don’t condone his actions, but part of me is totally understanding of his madness. Park Ye Jin as Young Joo was good too. She just wanted her cake and eat it to…like the men in this drama. Can’t really fault her for that. At one point at the end of episode 19, I laughed so hard over their craziness that I had to pause the show. Then toward the end of episode 20 I fell out laughing for a totally different reason. The ending is stellar!!! The music was on my last nerve by the end of this drama. I’m not watching this again. Overall...I'm not sure I would recommend this for any other reason than the acting is really good.
