I have just finished this drama and in two minds about it. Part of me LOVED IT! The other part eh... it was ok. However having said that if you love Kdrama romances don't pass this one by and here is why... The story was predictable and as clichéd as you would expect from a Korean Rom-com but I'm not complaining about that, sometimes it is nice to know what your getting yourself into. The problem I had with it was the story wasn't rounded enough to be believable. For example why would Hye Jin's character change so very much from the time she was about 10 to grown adult, and I am sorry but being broke is not enough of a reason to lose all femininity and wear ill fitting clothes! That said they really got it right when it came to friendships particularly between Ha Ri and Hye Jin . It was so nice to see an adult female friendship that includes love and caring and petty jealousy and arguments and isn't broken by it. I also loved the budding bromance between Ji Sung Joon and Kim Shin Hyuk. What I really loved about this drama was the cast and their acting! All of them gave stellar performances from side characters to the main leads. Yes some were over the top in 'THE Most' way possible. But they were the reason I kept watching. Park Seo Joon does puppy love in the most adorable way and Hwang Jung Eum truly has scatterbrained down to a fine art, but Choi Si-won really did steel every scene that he was in, he was wonderful to watch and I would certainly watch if they did a spin-off on his character. The music was suitably catchy and I would probably re-watch certain scenes if not the whole thing. I would say give this a go and watch at least the first 3 episodes before deciding whether or not to give it up. Happy viewing
