Loved it so much. It's cute, cute and cuter. Usually hate amnesia tropes, but when it's used as main story and a comedy and not a desperate plot device then it works and can be fun. I can't say I cared for the story, the char development or anything really that was going on with the supporting characters. I was bored to bits but kept coming back because of the cute main couple. They didn't have chemistry but they can act....
Nothing amazing, but still well produced and wins my heart because of the good acting with a cheesy script. And... I love cheese!

Someone get a helmet to this poor Louie!
What a nice, kind, loving story!Even though Louie and KoBokSil are the most kind and trusting unbelievable characters ever…. I was cheering up for them since ep 1.
Louie is just such a spoiled young adult, so fragile but hanging there, trying to condront his adversity…. The actor was amazing… You can not even get angry with him…
Ko bok Sil.. same thing.. such hard working, responsible girl… always taking care of everybody… the
The only character that was a bit over the top was Mr Cha… even though the actor was also amazing, the age gal was very noticeable…
I loved the story and the ending…
Would I watch it again? Yes…
Would I watch a season 2? Absolutely!

Funny drama with some crying in sensitive places.
Good actors, the actors had very good chemistry on screen.There are funny parts, some moving, and some overwhelming.
It was a bit annoying and incomprehensible the whole part where the main actor took so many blows to the head. (How did his head not open?)
Each character brings sensitivity and love to something that in my eyes is beautiful.
I liked that they didn't spread the role of the bad guy, and they ended it nicely.
I loved that there was love between the main actors from start to finish.
And show how it all started between them.
I liked less that they did not refer to the love of the following actors:
Jo In Sung.
Nam Joo Hyuk was my favorite.
Especially Baek Ma Ri they didn't say what with her at the end especially she was kind of a main actress.

Drama divertente con una storia carina.
Attori diventati piuttosto famosi che erano al inizio e che in questo drama sono alle prime apparizioni e sono davvero carini e già molto bravi.La storia di per se non è un granché lui ricco bello è tremendamente viziato tanto che ritrovato in strada e senza memoria è un incapace. Lei una ragazzina povera che lotta tutti i giorni per sbarcare il lunario senza mai arrendersi. Si incontrano e succede di tutto tra soliti cliché,triangolo amoroso e varie disavventure finché non si innamorano.
Davvero divertente in certi momenti e lui troppo buffo così impacciato.
Happy ending per concludere il tutto.

The story is nothing original. Actually, sometimes it looks like the writers were really trying to mix all clichés of dramaland: amnesia, chaebols, poor female lead, lost brother, forgotten childhood encounter, evil relatives who want to steal the inheretance... Everything is just so cliché, but when put together somehow this drama made it work. Maybe it's because they wrapped everything in a nicely cute and light atmosphere, endearing characters and funny situations.
I know it might be my bias talking, but I really love Seo In Guk here. Unlike many others male leads, Louis is lazy, irresponsible, spoiled and dowringht annoying at times. He has the riches, that's right, but he lacks common sense and drive to spend money wisely. Actually, he pretty much lacks common sense in all matters of life. He's like an overgrow kid and, althought exaggerated sometimes, it's adorable how he slowly begins to learn how the real word works. Obviously that by the end of the show he's still got a long way to go, but it's so refreshing seeing such a different male lead.
I also have to praise Nam Ji Hyun for delivering Bok Shil, who begins as a cliché poor female lead but grows and grows, turning into a capable, independent woman who can take care of not only herself but others as well. She acomplishes all that but still keeping her sweet, sometimes naive personality. Also, kudos for Yoon Sang Hyun as well, I feel that he was more the type of the conventional perfect male lead but with quirks and flaws that made him humorous and cute at the same time. His chemistry with In Guk was astounding and I couldn't stop laughing every time.
I think the real strenght of this drama lies on it's characters and their interactions, because let's be honest and say that the plot was a bit of a mess. Like mentioned before, it has a lot of clichés, but I think what really stops it from being a flaw at all is because this drama, althought a trainwreck, is still perfectly aware of it's absurdity and sometimes seems to play on that.
Don't watch this thinking it will be a super serious, consistent drama.I think you already guessed by seeing it's poster.
However, even though the plot is not exact a flaw, I would've liked better if the lenght was shorter. It could've been 14 episodes long and still solve everything, leaving no holes. But it was cute the final additions of their past.
All in all it's a good drama. Not the best out there, far from that, but a good entertainment for pretty much anyone.
(Also, I'll never listen "A Whole New World" the same way again after watching this haha. Please somebody tell me I'm not the only one >.<)

I got bored in the second part of the drama since it didn't live up to my expectations. It's a shame, I do think it got potential.
Most of the characters were cute and I liked Bok Shil's and Luis's relationship. Though I have to say that their kisses were awkward, like, always. I felt like they were selfconsious and made it so obvious that they were on a set, surrounded by the productionteam...
A minor plothole that irritated me was in a recordning from the mid 90's. In the video it was very noticable that the recording wasn't from 96, they looked way modern. I know this is something not many high producing networks are very particular about but it takes away from the quality.
All in all, it was cute but nothing more.

Personally, I started watching this for 2 main reasons. First of all, Seo In Guk is the male lead and he definitely played a completely different character than usual. Second, this drama had a very high rating in the romance category. However, it was not as good as suggested but not as shabby as described in the storyline. If I had to describe the drama in short terms, I'd say that this is a "filler drama". You know, it's one of those daily dramas that you watch as you're waiting for an epic drama to drop. Yes, it's filled with many cliches that are known to the every Kdrama fan's core. Yes, the whole story and characters seem absurd and unrealistic. But we shouldn't forget that this was made for entertainment purposes and we shouldn't judge it so harshly. To be clear, this had sad scenes as well as amazing comedy and fluffy romance scenes - a bit of everything to create an unforgettable drama. The actors did an amazing job as well. So many recognizable faces too like Nam Ji Hyun, Uhm Hyo Sub. Just as I mentioned before, it was super weird seeing Seo In Guk turning into a complete scatterbrain, but it weirdly fit him. Nothing special about the OST nor have I found anything to add about rewatch the series. There are just so many episodes and in my opinion, the last couple of episodes were completely unnecessary, so I started losing interest at the end.
All in all, if you're a fan of good acting and light romcom series, this drama is definitely for you!

Typical amnesia drama
If you have watched the actress's "100 Days My Prince" then it is almost the same. Rich kid loses memory, ends up with poor girl who takes care of him, and the rich kid is incapable of doing anything other then spending money and sometime does some cool dude things, which steal the girl's heart. This drama's got a less serious tone to it but the basic premise is almost the same.The best part of this drama was the music and that's all. I didn't see anything that I haven't already seen somewhere else. The acting was sub-par, the story was so-so and the comedy was ok. I didn't like the boring character of the female lead. The male lead didn't really have any charms either. The villains were jokes.
All things said the story was somewhat well paced and not too draggy. Showed minimal flashbacks. The general vibe of the drama was cute.
It's an ok watch if you have nothing else to watch and need to kill time. Not a masterpiece, but it's ok.

Its funny, slow burn romance you can say, i really love the supporting roles too, they have their stories too, there exists a triangle, but it's easy to get over the syndrome, rich girl-poor guy yk concept.
On the final note, all ends well...it's has a happy ending...it's just so underrated. I hope it helps. Byeee enjoy!!

This was fairly entertaining, it did not feel like time wasted. That said there were some cliche moments & some unnecessary plot developments. The second male lead definitely overstayed his welcome, the actor had the exact same character in I Can Hear Your Voice, but here he had a LOT more screen time.(I hate forced triangles) This feels like the same sub genre of romantic comedy that Secretary Kim & Oh My Venus belong to, but the writing is definitely inferior. For example I was anticipating the moment of Rui returning to work after his identity is known to everyone, but they completely messed up the timing with the "OH noez Bok Nam is dead, let's separate for life" plotline , so the comedy of that anticipated moment was completely destroyed for no conceivable reason what so ever. The ending is a bit of a mess too, it is supposed to be one of those 3 hour long happy endings, where everyone is getting the happiness they deserve, but then the focus has shifted to some side characters that I did not much care about and even for them I was like WHAAAT is happening at times, like how Mari's story ended on a sour note, or how that SooBin cameo has turned out. I listed many negatives, none the less this is still a great show. There were about 4-5 truly outstanding episodes & they did not drag out the stupid shit too much. I'm also surprised how I did not figure out the obvious meaning of Kobashi, I was embarrassed about my mind being blown in that big reveal scene at end, which was a pretty great way to end the show too.
Kim Byung Chul surprised me, at first I couldn't even recognize him being the same actor that played the main villain in Goblin. Such a great supporting actor! I'm suspecting that the gene that makes certain Koreans look like rock fishes, or blow fishes help them with acting somehow.
