Overall 3 Rewatch Value 0 Oh my God...or better oh my Hong Sisters were are you? I miss a drama with a good story. I believe the high rating comes from the large community of teenagers here at mydramalist, unfortunately I can't give high ratings simply because "he is so hot". With a cast like this you expect the actors to keep some sort of artistic integrity and to actually chose a project worthy of their names. Unfortunately this show was pretty much a flop-slash-clique' -slash-tease (I can't believe 2 adults over 30 acts like 2 virgin teenagers). And the few good lines thrown every now and then, can't make up for the draggy romance, the repetitive dialogues, the unjustified and cruel family behavior, and the too many flashbacks. There were many things that annoyed me in this drama like pushing someone who is on a strict diet to let it go for once and eat for example carbs with sugar and salt. It's like asking to someone who doesn't like to drink or smoke to have some fun and try it out. The other is the constant reminder that Kang Joo Eun was a Venus in her teens and therefore with good determination she could get back to her older self. I think young people should know that it's not possible to compete with your past, but only with your present. So trying to set a goal based on how slim is you were at 16 now that you are 30 will simply frustrate you. Also, this drama tried to touch so many topics....dieting, exercising, stalking, abuse, friendship, romance, work issues, loyalty and long term injuries (of the body and of the soul). All these topics are great ....but ultimately I felt like everything was badly developed and I ended up not caring for the main characters, not matter how lovely and funny they were at times. I recommend to watch this drama at least once. Then I recommend to watch some oldies like Save the Last Dance and Protect the Boss, and the most recent Heart to Heart.
