I went into this knowing it will be a typical rom-com k-drama. It just so happens I love those, and welcome them as much as possible. Life's hard, man... I just want something fun to take my mind off it.
GOOD - (Eye Candy) In the EC department there are two major... MAJOR lookers: Joo Sang Wook (the main guy) and Seo Kang Joon (beware of second lead syndrome!) They may not seem amazingly cute at first, but they will attach themselves to your soul after the third episode. It may also have something to do with the way their characters are written. Anyway, good luck.
GOOD - (Acting) Overall not INCREDIBLE... but good. Not many awkward moments. Lee Min Jung is a pretty solid lead and so is JSW... everyone else isn't bad either.
BAD - (Flashbacks) You know when there is a flashback of something that happened in the same episode the flashback's in? Yea this happens often here. Which to me means there isn't much writing going on, or not enough of it at least. It is flashback galore in this drama. Some scenes are flash-backed more than once.
MEHHH? - (Character extremes) Although the writing itself isn't bad, and there are brilliant moments, and funny moments between the characters, there are a lot of extremes. Sometimes the "good" guys are too innocent and good, the bad guys are too crazy and conniving... Gestures are exaggerated a bit. People aren't that definitive in real life. Don't know how much that takes away from the drama though?
OVERALL - Watch this if you like romantic comedy k-dramas. You know more or less whats gonna happen, but you love it anyway. The characters are funny, cute, and not really annoying (except maybe for a few backing ones) ...The key is not to expect crazy surprising twists and turns. Just have fun while watching, cuz that's what its all about!
