A Real Gem

Story 8/10
Simple typical Kdrama story about a rich person (most of the time it's a guy) falling in love with a poor person ( most of the time it's a female but here is a guy) the "money conflict" ( I didn't find a better term to it but if you have an idea you are welcome to write me) emphasise in most of the episodes ( if not all in of them)

The rich handsom guy is an famous actor having a scandal (as a victim but being blamed)
The poor guy is a (almost) chef on a resturant owns by his so called (rich) "friend" (probably more like an ex lover- but this is only an hint on the story)

The fall inlove, and very fast developing a feelings on to another, but the poor guy afraid of because he is hurt from his ex leaving him, (only himted that it's the resturant owner, but we don't really see it as it left as an hole in the story)

And this is summing up the simple story

There is a Similarity to the charaters in "Where your eyes linger" drama with the same producer, (rich soft heart playful guy and the other is poor -strong, self controled guy)

Acting 10/10
All of the actors are great, But my favourites are: Son Woo Hyun (the main actor) and funny Jeon Jae Yeong ( the manager) that looks older than him but in real life all of them are younger than Son Woo Hyun.

Sn Woon H bring brightness in a very smooth way, he is very lovely, cheerful and straightforward person, but the way he delivering it look smooth, both of the main actors acting very good.

Music 7/10
The only drama iv'e watched that was with original ost that left in my mind and hears was in "coffee prince", just to compare original music and songs, here it's more a typical pop song, it's not bad at all, but it's not creative or heartfull songs.

Overall 9/10
The romantic scenes are really good, and they filmed very well, as Korean knows how to, its hearworming, I feel that it's different from other series because it's not having melodramatic ending like in "Where your Eyes Linger" and bring we watch them developing emotions to one another with a slow burning,

the down side that it's short and there are holes in the story that was rushed in the end, but the ending is perfect. another thing is the trop of beakup and return ( the poor guy break up so he would not be hurt and than they coming back together ) and this left to the end, instead of brining more happy couple moments in the last episode, it could have been saved one or 2 episodes for nothing.

Rewatch value
(I already watched it couple of time so it's 10/10)
