Why do I say waste? Because the story line was pretty annoying. I don't know what the writers were thinking when they started brewing up the plot. It had a weak start and a weak ending. The main character was a superb actor, we all know that but the story didn't give justice to his acting skills at all.
Though I would have to admit that there were times where I laughed my ass out to some scenes but that wasn't enough for me to go on rambling and recommending the drama. It will only be a waste of time. So I'm posting it to say that this is one of those drama's which people should avoid watching. Even the music did not give color to the loose story line.

That being said, it has flaws. The plot had holes in it, especially when it came to the time jump torward the middle of the drama. Also, Eun Young's acting wasn't bad but felt a little flat at times. However, I still give this drama a 10/10 because it's strengths outweigh its weaknesses in my opinion.

Happenings that in the beginning of the drama was really important is later on forgotten without an explanation.
Maybe it was such a big disappointment because of the wonderful beginning.
I won't write: "Don't give it a try". But don't have too high expectations.

In my opinion, I loved this drama very much when I was watching.
I'll say that the story wasn't that great, but it was different in a way where it was only until the very last few minutes did we truely know who the main ship was. (and might I add, the ship wars were crazy!)
Acting was great and solid, chemistry was sizzling!
The only thing I didnt really enjoy was that there were some parts where it got slow and draggy near the middle but definately worth it!

I was just getting off my high of Wish upon a Star when I stumbled onto this drama. I had only breifly seen the main lead in a few clips from Hong Gil Dong or one of the period dramas because my friend was watching it, I knew Eun Jung was from T-Ara and Park Shiyeon, well she was the b!tchy girl from My Girl. I was set not to like it because 1. I hated Park Shiyeon in My girl and 2. She dated Eric Mun from Shinhwa. LOL I know, horrible reason to dislike her. So as I'm watching the drama I can't help but LOVE her. She has really learned a lot from her My Girl days. The whole cast was phenomenal. The story line got a little odd and the plotholes got a little loose but I think the quirky moments and great chemistry between the main leads made up for it. I think this was the most underrated drama for 2010. A lot of people complained about the ending, but don't listen to them! LOL. The ending was great! I can't post any spoilers but boy do I want to spaz crazily about it!

From a traditional and first person point of view from the female protagonist, this is not a drama one would enjoy watching just for the fun of it, because of the plot's break of norm. Since I identify with the female protagonist, played by eun jung, this is not an idealistic way of ending. But it's also this ending that makes it more like a real life situation. It makes me think that if I were her and I got that close with someone I admire, it's still lucky for me. Things won't work as you wish in real life. And the Sunsaengnim character is indeed inspiring from retrospect. These are my reasons to change my rating from 6 to 8. In a country where viewership is valued the most, this is a drama with more depth to the plot and not a focus on doing unrealistic scenes that viewers would enjoy. Which man would choose eun jung in real life over park si yeon anyways??? A sad fact but true....

Kang Ji Hwan as Jin Soo and Ham Eun Jung as Seung Yeon were the standouts with excellent support from Park Si Yeon as the long suffering/suffered publishing Company president !
Many unconventional characters and I feel many aspects of their characters seem drawn out from real life.
I was prepared for the final pairing from the comments and frankly,the same felt a right kind of a pairing.
Superb Soundtrack-the songs are on repeat mode -which elevated the show's impact and the show would not have been so good without them ,excellent writing throughout,and solid direction are the highlights too.
A show that teaches up a lot on real life truths,facing your demons and that many externally happy people could be quite broken internally..
