This drama... oh, this drama. Honestly, I don't understand how it ended up being such a mess.

It has a solid concept, a talented and star-studded (ADORABLE) cast, compelling characters, passable pacing, and good music. Yet somehow, despite having all the puzzle pieces, they just never seemed to be able to bring it together into any sort of clear picture.

The plot was convoluted. After a while it began to feel like they were trying so hard to obscure the central mysteries in so many shrouded layers of who knows what and when and where, that they themselves couldn't quite keep track. Because of the murkiness of these particulars, the resolutions in the final couple of episodes were often lacking impact.

Also, I really hate to say this because I truly love Park Shi Hoo and Song Ji Hyo, but as others have already said, their romantic chemistry was DISMAL. Their kiss scenes were just... horrendous. It's even more sad, because I think that they were fun to watch together otherwise.

The one bright point in all of this though was Lee Gi Kwang. I love him in Highlight, but who knew this boy had acting chops?? Honestly, the drama would have been a million times better if it had just been from his POV all along.
