I will preface this by stating that rom/com is not my favorite genre. I began watching this because I like Kim Kang Woo. It took me forever to watch it until I got to episode 12. It goes pretty fast from there.

The plot for this drama isn't original, but it is still good. I swear they used every Korean drama trope that has been invented. There is long lost family members, amnesia, hateful exes (or in this case they are still actually married for a while), hateful and loving parents all based around three different sides trying to gain a hotel in Haeundae. The one real complaint that I have is that the ending did not provide enough story between the leads. I get they felt the need to wrap up all the extra characters story lines, but it is still annoying.

The acting is pretty good. It isn't the best I have ever seen and there are a lot of insignificant characters. The one character that I enjoyed the most is Go Joong Shik played by Im Ha Ryong. He is so adorable and brings the entire story together. Kim Kang Woo's speaking pattern in this drama is what drew me in. He was excellent. I have never seen Jo Yeo Jung in anything, but she is cute and funny while being strong enough to take care of her family in her role as Go So Ra. Jung Suk Won plays the second male lead of Choi Joon Hyuk. When are they going to stop putting him in supporting roles and make him the lead so that he can get the girl? I'm ready for it drama world!!!

The music is ok.

I probably won't rewatch it, but I don't regret the time I spent watching this drama.

Overall I would say that if rom/com is your favorite genre, then you should watch this drama. It is cute and funny. report I found this review Helpful Not Helpful
