This drama was definitely not on my radar for the cast, as I didn’t even know who the main actors were. However, I always like to give new romcoms a try and the plot sounded like it might be different and a lot of fun… Story: Originally the plot was suppose to be about a prosecutor who loses his memory after an accident and thinks he’s a gangster /really becomes a gangster and falls in love with a gangster’s daughter. However, the writers decided to change the story so while I was kind of disappointed they left the turning into a gangster part out, I was pretty pleased with the writing. It was funny and it had a plot. Was it original? No. Was it predictable? Yes, it’s a romcom. But the writers still kept me engaged all the way till the lovable ending. Acting/Cast: This is where interest in the show itself was minimal. While Jo Yeo Jung and Kim Kang Woo had chemistry, I didn’t feel a connection to their characters. JYJ did a lot of overacting and it made her character annoying. I feel like anyone could have played the main male character. While KKW isn’t a bad actor, he just didn’t own his character. I did like the supporting cast and their characters more than the main. And although Nam Gyu Ri’s character was clingy, I felt sympathy for her character and liked her better than the female lead cause she’s just a better actress and has more screen presence than JYJ. And for the second male lead, I always like him in his dramas and this character was no exception. Music: It was fun and matched the tone of the show Rewatch: I didn’t love the main characters so theres not really a need for me to watch this again. Overall the writing is entertaining but it could’ve been an amazing romcom with better casting. Worth watching once though if you love romcoms like me:)
