My ratings are a bit inconsistent for this drama. The good parts of this drama impressed me too much to the point of ignoring the weak sides of it. The male lead had me falling head over heels.

STORY:
Childhood tragedies, misunderstandings, "cold" CEO, mistreated heroine, annoying second leads - this drama has it all. What sets this drama apart are the lovely main couple and the awesome male lead. The cliches are not too overbearing but it could have done with less focus on these plots. Misunderstandings are there but the main couple sails through everything. I couldn't get too invested in the 2nd leads. The side couple was also cute and the heroine's family was simply horrible.

CHARACTERS:
The male is very awesome. He seems like a control freak in regards to his honesty and lack of understanding when it came to people lying. I wouldn't say the reason behind it all made sense to me. The heroine was cute and had slow growth which I like. With the support of the male lead she grows a backbone and learns to stand up for herself. Her friend and the friend's boyfriend were super cute. However I hated her family. They were cartoonishly wicked and I couldn't forgive anyone till the end. I did love the main female lead's loyalty and friendship with her best friend. A special mention to the male lead's sister - extremely cute and smart kid. She made me smile every single time she appeared on the screen and turned the mood around.

ROMANCE:
If there is a reason to watch this drama - it's the romance. The leads have very good chemistry and their skinship seemed very real and mature. The hero's devotion to the main girl won me over and the actor won me over too. They seemed like a real couple to me at times! The kisses and hugs were all very cute and warm. The secondary couple was also sweet although their development was a bit slow. I couldn't care enough for the chasing second leads and their actions in trying to force the couple apart were a bit pathetic at times.

OVERALL:
I would recommend this drama for a few characters. A lot of annoying plots and twists are also there but you can always skip those scenes/characters. Heroine's "revenge" on her evil family was satisfying to watch and her cousin remained pathetic till the end. Thankfully, the good parts outweighed the bad parts but it could have been shorter.

REWATCH VALUE:
YES. Yes to all those butterfly-inducing kisses between the leads. I will watch them again and also keep an eye for the main actor's future works.
