It's been forever since I wrote a review, but I wanted to jot down my thoughts.. One thing about watching old dramas is that it renews your love for watching dramas all over again. This drama was not the best drama, but it was not entirely bad. The story was interesting because you see the female lead playing the role that is usually given to the male lead. It was like a reverse-cinderella story even though it's not a rags-riches story. It is about a star (A-list actress) and a regular guy (lecturer/writer) falling in love. I thought it was interesting how their lives intertwined. It started out so good, dragged through the middle 12-17 (so much annoying things happened that I was wondering if they were simply giving love too much value) but the drama begs the question: Is love worth its value? It was addicting and fun to watch. You have a female lead that wants to be loved and a male lead that does not know how to love. It wowed me how such different characters could fall in love with each other. Their CHEMISTRY was always on point. The ex-girlfriend was so pathetic that it made no sense for her to continue to be in a situation that was hurting her own happiness, but did she care, NOPE! So many obstacles tried to disrupt the main couple relationship especially the overly obsessed manager. Description of lead characters: The female lead character annoyed me through the drama, the only thing I liked about her was that she was a caring and honest-hearted individual. But she was also a selfish, immature, self centered, irresponsible, whiny person. She was used to getting what she wanted, so I can see why she was so spoiled, but I could never offer her my sympathy because she simply always behaved without considering the consequences. Male lead- Smart, cold hearted, responsible. He was the rational one out of the two but sometimes I felt like he was too self-righteous. The cast did an awesome job overall. But I did not have a preference towards any character. Overall the plot was interesting, but the conflict was too redundant at times. I thought it could have been shorter. I tolerated and completed it because I wanted to know how the main leads life was going to play out. I recommend this drama if you want to hop on a dramatic rollercoaster with some talented, handsome and beautiful cast members. I realized there was so many guest roles in this drama. Ji Jin hee was my favorite:)
