Story: The idea really was fresh and had potential. However the episode count really was too much for the execution of the plot. This made continuously watching unbearable. The main plot was the big mystery of who is the main guy's father. This was drawn out till the very end, which made each episode repetitive and also contributed to the unbearbleness. The romance is also put on the back burner. The last episode though is fantastic!
Acting: I wasn't fond of the main leads being together. They had zero chemistry. The female lead's character was really unlikable. I actually preferred the second leads realationship. Thier acting really stands out and they made you root for them. The supporting cast all acted really well.
Music: not memorable.
Rewatch: I dont think so.
Overall this drama could have been done so much better. I recommend you watch maybe the first 10 episodes and skip to the last 2 episodes. Believe me you aren't missing much.

I found myself watching but not enjoying the story. It just felt dragged for too long with twist that were not surprising to me.
If there is anything that saves this drama for me is Tae Hee and her way of stuffing her face with cake.

Loved it!
I was looking for a drama that wasn’t so concentrated on revenge for revenge sake.I laughed so hard thanks to Lee Si Young as Boo Tae Hee. At first Boo Tae Hee got on my nerves but she quickly grew on me. Then, as always Park Chul Min (hotel captain and butler)I just love him. He is so versatile in his characters and so refreshing to watch. He hasn’t yet failed to disappoint me. The kids were a nice touch.
Nam Koong Min, also never disappoints me. However, I think my favorite character of his will always be Ma Roo in Listen to My Heart.
The female and male leads were fun to watch.
I am glad I found this drama series.

Underrated drama from the early 2010s - Fun, Fast-paced and FUNNY!
I am watching this drama in 2021, and the re-watch value / drama hasn't aged very poorly 10 years later.The MML is Choi Seok Bong, believes he is the son of a billionaire. His mother had a one-night stand with his billionaire father, but through your typical k-drama series of unfortunate (and silly events), cannot reunite with the man again.
If you want something light-hearted, but fast-paced to watch, with some romance, I highly recommend this drama. It does drag on the main plot device, which is, finding the ML's billionaire father and some of the 'tasks' the MML does in the beginning is kind of outrageous! But I had a lot of laughs, and there were some very clever moments that make for an enjoyable watch.
Disclaimer:
I Can Hear Your Voice is my favourite, so I am Lee Bo Young biased. She plays feisty, strong-willed female characters, so if that's your jam, you would enjoy this drama.
Queen In Hyun's Man was my first drama I watched, and Ji Hyun Woo has a special place in my heart. He is a really versatile actor, and naturally handsome, but not too handsome that it distracts you from watching the show. You really root for his character here, although there are some really dumb cliches/character traits the writers include in this drama that make you roll your eyes.
Pros:
Great cast, and the side characters have personalities and side stories that add to the humour of the drama
Cinematography - still looks good 10 years later for a 2010 drama!
Solid pacing - I have been glued on each episode trying to figure out who his dad is!
Funny + Touching - had so many laughs in this drama, and shed tears as well.
Cons:
Under utilization of SL - Namgong Min's character isn't as developed as Park Si Young's and it's a shame he wasn't utilized more than a semi-evil character
Soundtrack - the music / OST is not that memorable, except for the pop rock, nostalgic throwback. Compared to other dramas made at that year like Secret Garden, I think it is lacking
Middle:
Romance - There aren't a lot of romance scenes in this drama as the plot focuses more on finding Bong's father. The romance is a slow burn, but there is still chemistry between Ji Hyun Woo and Lee Bo Young's character. I am used to seeing LBY in a Noona romance, so it's good they didn't emphasize that or didn't make that the premise. If you like tingly romance scenes, there isn't enough of that in the drama. However, the scenes between the mains are tender and sweet :)

Ugliest Second Male lead and most beautiful second Female lead
Never seen this ugly man in my whole life, he face is so squeezed like some suck life out of himdid he not get any food at all , was he living his life on only watar
in one episode he look like a hungry Begger when he took of his shirt
ML was childish arrogant and everything but at least he was Man, ML was even poor but healthy
his whole story feeling was so annoying not even boring but he was annoying Pd could have saved some money if they do not hire Begger looking man
and it was even hard to believe that SFL who is so more pretty then FL is in love with that Ugly looking Begger
he is always begging for attention , he should have beg for some food
FL is second ugly and she act in whole drama like she was born out of shit
Our FL cheated on SML then SFL also cheated on SML
