Cutesy revenge story with everyone's idol darlings in a Taiwanese production that's surprisingly high quality. I really liked this drama and it thoroughly entertained me. I had seriously low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Some of the usual Tdrama problems where not present, like horrible audio quality. However the female lead acted out the usual cute and whimsical aside some clown characters performing the usual Taiwanese style slapstick. The music was very good but repetitive. The audio was dubbed and thank the maker they changed Siwons dub after 2 episodes. The story is engaging and at some points even deep enough to be immersive. Just when it's serious and you're holding your breath someone falls over and the moment is ruined. I couldn't help wondering how these novice actors felt about meta acting, especially when they were supposed to portray acting perfection. I believe the director did a superb job with them. I don't know why I wished for more romance. What was shown suited the story. However I wished we'd get a final confrontation that was a bit more than what they ended up doing. I watched this because I love Choi Siwon as an actor and think he's a comical genius. His role here was much more mellow and stiff. So a tad disappointed. Then there's the other Super Junior dude who I have no previous knowledge about. Can't really say he did bad. Overall an ok drama with some moments that are fun, sweet, sad-ish, exciting. Good cast, good directing and good story.
