If you develop a need to finish this out of curiosity, SKIP EPISODES 11-15. If you don't I PROMISE you'll regret it. This drama becomes really disappointing after episode 10, which is a shame because the first 10 episodes are really funny and entertaining. The main problems are that NO COUPLES KISS IN THE ENTIRE SHOW (how realistic is that?), and a really weak/pathetic/meddlesome/infuriating character gets way too much screen time (Cha Mi Rae). The first half of the show is mostly comedy, the second half is COMPLETELY DEPRESSING and strained. I had to force myself to finish it. The ending was so WEAK. You've been warned..

Check out the disclaimer on my page! WARNING: Un-obsessive SG review.

Even with funny moments and life-swapping hijinks, the serious flaws in this drama don’t support the hype; it’s simply overrated. I loved the beginning episodes. FINALLY a drama w/a strong female lead; great male lead too! What wasn’t great was seeing this strong, capable, conviction-filled woman actually give into a controlling, immature& inconsiderate jerk who rejects responsibility, blames her for everything all while he DISRESPECTFULLY PUTS HER DOWN EVERY CHANCE HE GETS (unapologetically); yet she REMAINS ATTRACTED!(wth?) Passively, continuously taking his CRUEL words & abusive/insulting/degrading behavior(i.e. manhandling). I dislike unhealthy relationships; but my greatest problem? Her cooperation w/being jerked around is INCONSISTENT with her no-nonsense persona established in early episodes. Disregarding hype, you’ve been warned.

this was boring. I couldn't even get through half of it. The main problems are the weak premise and setup, and the *annoying* lead character. She's overacting the WHOLE time: constantly flipping her hair around, flailing her arms..nobody acts like that in their daily life...and she is constantly whining while exhibiting this overdone quirky behavior. Its unnatural, annoying, and doesn't help to endear you to her or her humanity as a character at all. The director should've told her to tone down the quirkiness so that her emotions and feelings could be discerned amidst all of her excessively *spastic mannerisms*. You'll see what I mean when you watch the first episode. If it were cute or funny, it wouldn't be a problem but it is too extra and unnatural so it stands out in a bad way. The main character nor this show are funny or interesting enough to make up for the strained writing and acting.

Funny, cute, clever & charming w/such a natural vibe, its easy to immerse yourself in the show. Incredibly enjoyable w/abundant wit and humor that’s unexpected & refreshingly unpredictable. Just when you might start becoming annoyed w/a character or situation, something cute/quirky happens that restores your interest; like a late-blooming cactus flower ;] Chemistry b/t the 2 leads is above average; unguarded, vulnerable emotion makes you swear they aren’t acting..no predictable dialogue patterns, leaving you free to ride the wave of realistic emotions they’re feeling - & forget you’re watching a show. From prickly to sweet in .23 seconds. You’ll fall in love as much as the characters. Like the reviewer b4 me, I know quality dramas from bad & I hate wasting time watching disappointing ones. You wont waste your time watching Pasta..so dig in!
