KTH at her cutest and SSH at his romcom best. Together, they make one endearing pair.

First, the bad. The script feels uneven and wanders a bit in the middle part. The music sometimes doesn’t fit the scene. The director missed a bunch of things here and there (probably due to the live shoot system).

But the good makes up overwhelmingly for the show’s flaws. Our main couple is adorable. They are extremely comfortable with each other and start off as co-conspirators and semi-friends. They’re sweet without being cheesy. They playfully argue without actual bickering. Their characters grow without losing their essence.

I've watched Kim Tae Hee's other romantic pairings before and her role here as a modern princess plus her pairing with Song Seung Hon is the best of all (for reference: she was good with Joo Won in Yong Pal but her character there wasn't; her pairings in Jang Ok Jung and IRIS were tragic). Also, I've seen SSH in his older melodramas and in 2017's Black and couldn't see the charm—until here.

If you like either of them, then I suggest giving this a try. This is one of those few older shows that I can absolutely rewatch and recommend (albeit with some fast-forwarding).
