Let me first start off by saying that I found the drama much different than the official synopsis. It had me thinking that it was about a selfish woman who lies all the time for her own benefit and her upright and moral boyfriend who loves her anyway. That is not at all what this drama is about. It's about a woman who accidentally finds herself in a misunderstanding about what university she attended and so just goes along with it so that she can keep her new job. She frequently has bouts of guilt and though she doesn't speak up about it, she never technically lies about it, either. Also, she does not have a boyfriend. The whole drama is about how she ends up with one. I started this drama because of No Min Woo but the way his character was written, especially in the beginning, was horrible! I could not, at any point, see him as a romantic contender for the lead girl. In fact, I just could not see the character as a romantic partner for anyone. He came across as a child. One who has never reached puberty and likely never will. What made it so much worse was how, in the first few episodes, the writers did all they could to creep the viewer out by adding such obvious sexual inneuendo and outright blatant sexual situations meant to be comical but instead come across as cheesy and inappropriate. With the character written to behave emotionally like a 10 year old, I found myself feeling almost dirty while watching. Thank goodness the writers eventually got a clue and stopped including it. It made the rest of the drama watchable and even cute. I still would have given this drama a lower score, though, thanks to the godawful beginning episodes, the cheesy writing and the simplistic, nothing special plot. However, what made me rate it as high as a 7 was because: 1. It did become rather cute and ended very heartwarming and 2. Jung Yoon Hak. Seriously. This guy needs a lead role now! As much as I love No Min Woo, JYH stole the show for me. I was having some major second lead syndrome going on here. His character was much more interesting and complex. Not to mention sexy! Bottom line. Not the best drama ever made. Mostly mindless entertainment, but is cute towards the second half. However, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone.
