I loved this series

I find it hard to understand the negative comments about this drama and the controversy about the age gap between the two main characters . It is a light hearted romcom , a bit of a farce verging on the satire . It is brilliantly acted with clever action scenes . As usual in Korean dramas it shows two aspects of society , the rich and powerful , who think they can do anything to keep to their status , and the less fortunate , who have to struggle to make ends meet , fight daily against fraud and bullying and carry the stigma , but who manage to keep their integrity and , at the end of the day show themselves more capable than their counterparts in the executive world , because they care about each other and help each other and believe in their worth .
Dae-hyun played beautifully by Ji Chang Wook belongs to both worlds and understands how both work and so can make his choice of a less glamorous life in order to be with friends , family , with honest and hard working people whom he knows he can trust . As everyone says " he is a good man " . We need someone like him these days . I laughed a great deal , I felt emotional and applauded the witty ending mixing behind the scenes with the make believe of filming . They did not even kiss at the end , but who cares . Let your imagination work for you , as these two Dae-hyun and Saet-byu are made for each other and will be a couple for as long as they live .
