This K-drama was so full of heart (pun intended) that I watched it again, and the second time with my teen-age nieces and nephew. This is a story of a man who focuses his life on getting revenge before he dies of heart disease, instead he gets a heart transplant, and then he begins to change as a person. He falls in love, develop friendships, finds a purpose, and (dare we hope) a happy ending. Jung Hyung Ho plays Kang Min-Ho up to all kinds of corporate shenanigans to ensure the company his father built, and his uncle stole was destroyed. May I say that Jung Kyung Ho was hilarious and got funnier with each episode, seconded only by his trusty side-kick Woo-Sik. The trio of Min-Ho, Woo-Sik, and Ok Hyun were amusing as Captain Hook, Tinker Bell, and Wendy.

Yoon Hyun Min did very well as the friend turned not-so-nice guy and his story line of the progression from good to bad was believable. The budding relationship between Min-Ho and Soon-Jung was sweet and well played out. Still, most of the scenes were stolen by the funny comedic timing of Jung Hyung Ho. I hope to find another show with him playing such a well-rounded and entertaining character. The other supporting characters were well developed and well played in this upbeat K-drama. Please note that I prefer all bad guys eventually get punished for their misdeeds and this show did not disappoint in that regard.

The music and camera work enhanced the story and did not detract from it. I found little about this show to complain about as long as I’m a person easily entertained by lighthearted comedy and drama, and I am. If anyone reading this review prefers to watch a serious drama with lots of angst. This is show is not one for you. While there is a smattering of serious scenes, the majority of the show can only be described as moderately paced fun with interesting characters and witty dialogue (keep in mind my dialogue was subtitles). I love that there was a moral to the story, especially at the end. Please give me more K-dramas like this.
