When you have nothing else to watch

I was hoping this series would be worth a higher score but, it never got past the muck it started with. This is one of the few occasions where everything improved when the lead actress got less screen time.

I understand that almost all Asian dramas have the lead female be extra girly (tee hee's, swooning, acting childish, etc.) because that is what the public wants and expects but, they should have worked harder for her to mature during the 16 episodes. And, to have her drunk calling him three times in the first 8 episodes? Why did he even bother? The supporting cast was odd - there mainly for comedy. One female character bordered on mental instability and the writers still had her fall in love and be almost normal by the end. Definitely, don't look for any dose of reality here.

Some actors/actresses are stellar in this production. Loved every moment they were on the screen. Others, should have been given more time. I understand this is a Rom/Com and not to expect much but, this easily could have been a 10 parter since so much of some of the episodes were completely disposable. And, the lack of follow-through - let's introduce the Dad and then wrap up his need to be there in just a few minutes and then, never hear from him again. Let's introduce a bad guy and dispose of him after only a few minutes of screen time and not even mention how his family and money couldn't get him out of trouble that time. Money talks in some scenes and then, has no power in others.

Lee Dong Wook is a gift to this production. Oh Jung-Se plays his part perfectly. Jang So-yeon did a great job. Kim Chae Eun's character was very complex and she did a great job too. Loved the chemistry between her and Lee Sang Woo.

If you want something light and fluffy and have points where you can fast forward through almost entire episodes and not miss a thing - this one is for you! LOL I stuck with it because of some of the amazing characters and their story lines. Don't hate me!
