Fizzles out

This actually has a really good premise, even with all the cliches — disapproving parent, generational secrets, amnesia, cohabitation, contract marriage, etc. I felt like it actually started out really endearing, especially because the main male lead wasn't the typical cold and abrasive character, but was rather playful, fun, and nice to people who deserved it. I also liked the second female lead was nice and reasonable.

As the drama went on, however, it started to feel like we were reliving the same plot over and over the characters either became static or got worse. The entire drama was driven by the disapproving parent and even the music and the drama sub-plots seemed to take a backseat. The potential generational secrets fizzled into nothing, and both second leads just became irrelevant and horrible. I also just could not stand the second lead in this, so the fact that the love triangle was dragged on for so long (and mainly by external factors) was really annoying.

Our two main leads also just seemed to lose their identities, especially the FL who started off so strong — optimistic, yet able to stand up for herself and be mature. All that went away when the parental figures started to take up more screentime, and any plot elements just fell flat.

Mary Stayed Out All Night is a Romance Comedy.

I can't forget the first moment that they meet here, which she almost hit him in a car accident. That scene is so cute.

Wi Mae-ri (Moon Geun-young) is so sweet and so innocent... i like her.

But what i love most is Kang Mu-gyul (Jang Keun-suk), he is very suitable for the role of Kang Mu-gyul. The way he perform with his band is remarkable.

My fave scene is when Kang Mu-gyul dedicates the song "Hello Hello" for Wi Mae-ri during the promotion of Wonderful Day Drama.

I love ALL the sound tracks so much.

The story - wasn`t that bad and it was interesting but there were a few boring eps they could`ve made it more appealing. Acting/Cast - well i felt like the cast was great and fit the whole story but they lacked chemistry between the characters and i felt like Kim Jae Wook/Jung In`s character was kinda plain and not strong enough. The Music - was definitely the best we all know why - Jang Geun Suk - and only because of him i didn`t drop the drama which btw it took me 3 days to finish and i usually finish a drama of 16 eps in 1 day (but of course it has to be a good one). I usually don`t re-watch dramas and of course this one i surely won`t.

At first, when I've read the synopsis, I was like . . . "Oh! It's boring.." So, even if I really like Jang Geun Seuk, I didn't watch this drama. Well I was wrong. This drama is worth watching for (for me). It started with a thrill and ended beautifully. It's full of heart-melting romantic scenes. Geun-Geun couple's so cute. They really did well. Especially Jang Geun Seuk. I began to love him even more. I get to see more of him singing. Gosh! I really love his voice.
All in all, I recommend this for those 'romantic-drama lovers' like me. I bet you'll love this drama too.
