This is a fun little drama that's great to marathon when you've got free time {but not 20 hours} or to watch a quick episode here and there when you really just need a fix. the comedy was spot on. Sung Hoon was a lot funnier than i remember him being. he's usually a middling actor for me but i thought he did really well in this show. his timing and facial expressions were much improved over his earlier work, most of which was heavy draw out makjang. in fact, this show is great for Sung Hoon fans who cant deal with makjang. you get to fan girl without sacrificing 100 hours of your life. this was my first time seeing kim jae kyung. she did a great job. i liked her, she played her character well and she's gorgeous and hilarious. BUT the reason this show gets an 8 instead of a 10 is that it really felt like our leads were in different relationships, if not on different shows. Jae Kyung never seemed to be able to match Sung Hoon's level of emotion or interest when the script so clearly called for it. it was like listening to a duet with one singer belting it out as if as the feels would split his soul if they didn't get out and then the other is drunk at a norrebang. unfortunately alot of the other actors performances felt that way as well. maybe it was the limited screen time, maybe it was the writing, maybe the actors just didn't feel like belting it out for what was certainly a minor role. but i've seen actors do more with less, so i'm counting it against them. the music felt like an after thought and i wouldn't remember any of it if i heard it again, except for one song. i think it's american and every so often the 1st few bars would play and annoy me because i cant for the life of me remember the name of the song or even how it goes. rewatch value is a little iffy, i guess it depends on if you like to rewatch and why you do. i could certainyl see myself rewatching this at some point. overall it's definitely worth the watch, especially if rom com is your thing.
