This was the first drama that I ended up not liking. I have seen this drama on countless best drama lists and it was written by the Hong sisters so I thought I would love it-I was very wrong. It starts out okay, a teenage boy and girl who don't like each other are forced to get married after the boy spends the night in the girl's room. This premise worked, I usually like cohabitation dramas. But after they graduate high school the drama became a frustrating mess. Another big issue I had with the show is that the only characters I liked were Mong Ryong's friend Ji Hyuk and his dad. Choon Hyang was initially portrayed to be a strong character but when it came to standing up for herself she was a total pushover. I hated Mong Ryong the most, he was such a stupid and irritating character. He spends far too much time with another woman while he's married and he gets angry with Choon Hyang for being cold to him. I didn't like him or the second male lead at all-I shipped Choon Hyang staying single. If the second male lead had been the least bit likable I would have shipped him like there's no tomorrow. But alas, he was a controlling jerk who tried to blackmail Choon Hyang into being with him. The last few episodes picked up and were decent but not enough to make up for the hours of annoyance that I had experienced. I liked the music a lot and I thought that the fact that she made jewelry was interesting. I wouldn't recommend this show unless you are trying to watch all the Hong sisters' dramas. There are far better ways to waste time than watching this. If this had been my first Asian drama then I don't think I would have ever watched another one. report I found this review Helpful Not Helpful
