When I first started this drama it was silly and way too unrealistic. And the story had no depth either. Then both the male lead and the second male lead fall head over heels in love with the female lead very quickly for no reason when they hardly even know her. I thought I wasn’t going to like this drama very much. Boy was I wrong. It wasn’t perfect, but it ended up being awfully cute and funny.

Storyline:
If you stick with it past the first few episodes the story gains some strength and gets deeper and more interesting. It ends up that there’s a reason both men like the female lead so intensely and so quickly. There are hidden pasts, amnesia, political intrigue, hidden identities, and lots of great comedy. It does get a bit confusing on the four clans and their past and present issues with one another. But overall I enjoyed the uniqueness of the storyline.

Set design, costumes & CGI:
The sets were very elaborate and realistic. And the costumes were quite elegant and attractive. It looked like they had a generous budget for this drama. There were beautiful gardens, impressive homes, lovely rivers, and quaint old villages to enjoy throughout the drama. The CGI was okay but nothing amazing. They chose an obese, unattractive, stubby legged animated cat instead of a real one and it was a bad choice. Many compare it to Garfield but I don’t agree because even though Garfield is chubby he’s super cute. This cat just wasn’t attractive at all. The way he stood up to walk or run was just weird and not catlike at all. And since the cat was a big part of the drama it did detract from the overall experience.

The romance:
The romance is what really shines in this drama. The lead couple have great chemistry. There’s lots of kisses, cuddles, hand holding, and skinship. And even though there are some misunderstandings, nothing drags out for too long. The romance is a bit cheesy sometimes but I still found it touching.

My verdict:
This isn’t for everyone. It’s a lighthearted feel good romcom that doesn’t take itself too seriously. So if you’re looking for something with some depth or something realistic then this isn’t the drama for you. Yes it does get deeper as it goes on with some angst and sadness. But it still has a very silly funny lighthearted feel to it. And the romance is a bit cheesy. But I still found myself enjoying it and looking forward to the next episode. If they had chosen a better cat, if the romance wasn’t quite so cheesy, and if there wasn’t a disappointing 10 year time jump, then it would have been perfect. But it’s still a cute drama worth watching.
