At first I kept comparing this to ISWAK, but after awhile I stopped. The feel of the two series is completely different. Both have strengths and weaknesses. No use comparing.
I started watching this because after seeing Kim Hyun Joong in Boys Before Flowers I was curious about what he'd be like in other shows. I think I like him a lot better in this. He's a lot less stiff and he smiles more (which makes him even better looking than normal... just wish they had skipped the perm he has in the middle ^_^). I also really liked Jung So Min as Oh Ha Ni. She had great chemistry with her leading man and managed to play the part without getting to the annoying point.
I also liked most of the supporting cast. Ha Ni's friends were great. Joon Gu annoyed me at first but got better as the show went on. The parents were a bit over the top at times, but the cute moments made up for it. Seung Jo's little brother was great. And I LOVED the band Bye Bye Sea as Joon Gu's posse. Awesome!
Even though the storyline was kinda cheesy and predictable, it was done in an interesting, cute, and funny way. I loved all the little subtle moments with Seung Jo letting his guard down and showing how much he liked Ha Ni. Overall, a really great show! ^_^
