This drama could’ve been the perfect ‘Anti-It’ Korean romantic comedy since it went against the usual ‘cool-guy-falls-for-naive-and-unsophisticated-girl’ plot but all the guessing as to who the male lead ends up with made me feel so disappointed at the ending. So disappointing that not even Kang Ji Hwan’s usual acting charms could save it. So as the story shows scenes of the main lead actor with the two main heroines in this drama and watchers are made to guess who he ends up with, fans could NOT wholeheartedly support one female lead. Thus the feeling is half-hearted and has a bit of a bitter aftertaste if the story doesn't end your way (as in my case). In the end, it felt tiresome and the whole guessing game became unfocused for far too long. Jin Soo’s character was made to be unpredictable and eccentric but his resolution to his romantic problems was just so random and lacking a solid ground. The writers could have one a much better job solidifying the main pair and not waste time on filming scenes that weren't as important nor contributory to their pairing. Story - Not exceptional; was just made to be complicated Music - I can't even appreciate the music! Rewatch value - No, thank you.
