This was really an exceptional drama! It's one of the best I've seen so far. Although the whole girl pretending to be a boy thing is not new, the setting and situation is fresh. This gives it a very different style than all the dramas it has been compared to. The beginning is slightly confusing if you have no knowledge of Korean history, traditions or culture. But as you watch, you will understand. I like how there is friendship built and emphasized as the characters encounter little twists and obstacles.

The characters play well off each other as their chemistry is greate and the actors are all well suited for their parts. And honestly, the guys are very cute :P

One notable thing about this drama is it gives you room to imagine in details yourself. For example, they don't necessarily give the full backstory of the characters. Instead they hint at many parts and let you create your own story for them in your mind.

First of all, this was a cute movie. It made me smile at times. However, this movie was unfocused and several points were awkwardly placed.

Story: This was the area I had the most problem with. At first, I was led to believe this story was about the the 2 younger leads as i read the summary and watched the first bit. I mean the two did fight, falter and fall in love (like in the summary), in a really cute way. So I thought the movie would focus on their relationship. However, the movie oddly transitioned into being about the respective parents overcoming their personal issues to let their children be together. Then the scenes with the two younger leads became awkwardly placed and filmed. Even though they were supposedly in love, there was little physical attraction (the look more like best friends)and the "falter" part consisted of about 5 lines from the girl.

Acting/Cast: all the actors did a fine job of portraying their characters.

Music: i didnt notice the music, but it did not distract me from watching the film.

Rewatch value: If i was extremely bored I MIGHT watch this again. Just because the parents are kind of funny :P
