I just finished watching this drama (I in fact stayed up a little late to watch the last episode once I saw it was posted with English subs - I couldn't control my excitement!) and I absolutely loved it.

The characters are interesting and the storyline is engaging.
You have Enrique/Que-Geum who seems to be ridiculous, hyper and childish on the surface, but is also kind, gentle and thoughtful. He's also a computer-game genius.
There's Go Dokmi, the 'urban rapunzel', whom I took a little while to warm to. I didn't quite understand the character, but you learn more about her as the drama progresses, and I suppose that's the whole idea.
Jinrak is handsome, brooding and serious. Donghoon is a bit of light, comedy relief with a heart of gold.
The 'chief' - I still don't think her character even had a name - with her dark circles and her love of screeching in English at Jinrak and Donghoon will have you laughing a lot.

There are little subplots that flow naturally alongside the main story, and you find yourself rooting for more than one possible couple.

All in all, this drama was well written, an original idea, and a light-hearted romantic comedy. I reccommend it to anyone who enjoys sweet romances, and a sort of 'will they won't they' vibe, as the drama leaves you guessing as to who Dokmi might choose until fairly near the end.
