I have to say, this is a very endearing drama, and not as slow as I am used from Taiwanese standards. It has a basic setting like Boys over Flowers, but it is quite different in many aspects. Here are the points, that stood out to me: 1) The romance is very light for the first half or so, and gets more attention later on, but it never develops to such a single focused matter like in Korean dramas. That is due to 2) the wide range off different relationships that are here depicted. Although we have a main couple, it is more of an emotional network that is portrayed throughout the series 3) The main female character is naive, but to a believable extent, and she shows her martail arts skills throughout the series - which is nice, since many dramas portray strong femal characters as badass in the first two or so episodes and then let them transform to more tamed ones. 4) The mood stays light, until the last 5 episodes or so. Even then, when death happens at last, it is not as heavy as it is usually. Aaaahhh... all in all - this drama has it ALL, but in a much more lighthearted way. I really enjoyed it, especially the funny scenes.
