This is one of the first dramas I have seen. The main reason I wanted to watch this was because it seemed more glamorous than the Japanese version 'Hana Yori Dango'. Also, Lee Min Ho won me over immediately in 'City Hunter' so I wanted to go and watch his other right then. Overall, it was pretty good and not disappointing at all. The story is a very good one. It is pretty captivating right from the beginning. No problems there. The whole cast is fairly good looking and they all gave good performances. The drama had all your typical moments of love, sadness, anxiety, anger and what-not. It was fast paced up till the fourteenth episode or so and after that it kind of deteriorated. It dragged on for way longer than was necessary. I would have probably lost interest if it wasn't for Gu Jun Pyo aka Lee Min Ho. I was not very fond of the actress who plays Guem Jan Di but she grew on me as the series progressed. They could have hired someone who Lee Min Ho had better chemistry with, but that actress gave a good performance throughout so I am not going to criticize her unfairly just because she wasn't pretty enough. I actually found her friend much prettier and better dressed than she was, but in the end it was Guem Jan Di who stole the show. The character of Ji Hoo was also lovable although his whole grandfather's plot wasn't that interesting. I feel like he should have had been given a better plot because his character had tremendous potential. Gu Jun Pyo is of course the one who steals the spotlight in the end because of his impeccable performance and a very strong characterization. A typical rich, hot, "bad" boy who loves unconditionally can win over any girl. The show had pretty solid dramatization and the complications never fell weak. It reminded me of Bollywood movies almost all through it. However, it is a show I can enjoy any other time and would strongly recommend it to everyone who enjoys strong characters, good romance, glamour, drama and cute boys. It has everything in it.
