The leads in this drama are both appealing and like-able. Both male leads are chaebol sons, the two female leads are sisters who are unspoiled and who were raised by their grandmother. The older sister is married with a child, but is heartbroken by a serial cheater husband. The younger sister is a free lance journalist but is still a little childish but not annoying. This is a romance drama, not a comedy, but there were funny moments, happy moments and poignant moments where the tears fell. This drama has key kdrama ingredients: rich vs poor, chaebol sons, struggling young women, birth secrets, a car wreck, a scary mother in law, a scheming ex girlfriend, almost a shower scene, a piggy back ride, some extreme drinking to the point of passing out, Soju, Karaoke, illness, car wreck oh and the hair and clothing of the cast was well done. Some background on the couples: Woo Joo-Young is the eldest daughter of an average family who strives for success after dealing with a cheating husband and then a divorce. Woo Joo-Mi is the younger daughter to Joo-Young. The girls were mostly raised by their grandmother Cha Kyung-Soon. The older sister Joo-young takes her son Chan-noh to a soccer game and meets Jang Woo-bin, a former national soccer player who’s now a sports agent. They become very close. Woo-bin is a chaebol’s son and his parents force the couple to break up due to their differences in age, social status and life experience. The yonger sister Joo-young ends up meeting and dating chaebols son Jang Woo-jin. Woo-jin has never been serious about a woman before because he is afraid he would be cold and cruel like his father, so he resists Joo-Mi for awhile, then one day he realizes he is in love with her and very happy. The chaebols, Woo-jin and Woo-bin also happen to be cousins. As with most good kdrama romances, I fell in love with one of the leads, Woo-bin. And I felt admiration for the female lead who I thought was very strong, yet kind, Joo-young. I really enjoyed this drama and recommend it, but admit that I had to watch several episodes before becoming addicted, and then I was "marathoning" it over the week end.
