Maybe it will get better with more episodes? Just like in King2Hearts it took me several episodes to get used to Ha Ji Won's accent.

Oh, I kinda became "a fan" of satoori after this drama :D It was a bit unusual for me in the beginning, but like beca256 said at moments it was even funny, for ex. when ** Yoonjae went to Seoul and started speaking the standard language in everyday life, but Shiwon kept her satoori speech so she continuosly teased him about his Seoul accent <3 "Switch it off!"**
Now I even wanna hear some of my favorite korean artists (who're not from Seoul) speak satoori hihi

How this news landed on Manila Bulletin is a mystery to me. I am beginning to think they have a Kdrama fan there who translates for them.

Just finished this series, totally loved it. In the very last scene, where >spoilers>> they were taking the photo and then Yoon Jae falls and cries out that he'd broken his arm. Oh my god loved that! I'd been thinking for ages "how did he break his arm and why the hell didn't we see that!?", but it turned out that they were just saving that scene for us! That was just the icing on the cake. The flashbacks were always so well placed, and everything fitted together so well. And Eun Ji and Seo In Guk just meshed so incredibly well. Looking at the behind the scenes footage though, it looks like In Guk is just a really friendly, outgoing person. So i think he probably brings that out in others.
