I'm not sure where to start. I watched the anime version, and at least there was some growth or change in the story by the end. Usually the drama adaptations are better. But not in this case. I watched the entire series. I'm not even sure why it went on for 16 episodes. The thing that really bothers me is that Kim Hyun Joong's character is so static and unmoving, it eventually makes me feel bitter and resentful towards Jung So Min's character. Jung's character is adorable and hard working. I'm not sure why everyone is expecting her to change, since the obvious purpose of this show is to illustrate how Kim's character opens his heart after unconditional love and kindness. I think ultimately people get upset with Ha Ni because it seems like she loses all respect for herself. Beyond that, Kim's acting is almost worse in this show than Boys Before Flowers. It's like he doesn't even try to be a different character with different mannerisms. Kim's starring role in shows should just be for him to stand and look pretty since it hurts whenever he tries to act. It's okay if you hate me for saying that. I should try to say something nice about this drama.... I like the parents, Jung's character and her friends. I liked the mother-daughter relationship that Ha Ni and Seung Jo's mom have. I think the story itself has the potential to be good. It's just not.
