I really liked the first 6 episodes, but honestly I really did not like the middle episodes (ep 7-12ish?) -it took me forever to drag myself to even watch the end of this drama because I disliked the middle episodes so much. However, the last few episodes were amazing. I thought the whole story was really well done overall, but the middle episodes could have used some teaking. This is very unique compared to most other K-dramas even though the premise is very similar. Music was very good from what I remember and the acting was superb. I most likely will rewatch this drama, but I may skip some of the middle episods since they just didn't jive with my taste. I loved all the stunt team action and the main lead was did so well with his character's quirky nature (tracksuits anyone? lol XD).

I thought this was really cute and funny, but the acting on the girl's part was a bit over the top. The plot was really good and I liked how the relationship developed through the series. The plot was also a bit slow in parts if I remember correctly, but nothing too terrible. Music was fine and while I would rewatch this other dramas will take priority over this one.

The plot was a bit so so, but very cute. This had major Second lead syndrome (aka you want the girl to end up with the second lead guy), so the ending was a little dissapointing to me yet on the other hand it was really good. Some of the beginning and middle episodes were a little slow, and this drama really would have been better with fewer episodes, less second lead syndrome, but overal it was ok.

Acting was fine, but a little over the top at some points. Music was fine. I don't think I'll purposely rewatch this unless I'm desperate for something with shorter lengthed episodes to watch.

This is a very cute drama!! There are so many life lessons and just touching moments when the main characters change their ways. The Plot I must say is excellent although some of the latter episodes were a bit so so. The ending was very, very cute, sweet, and unique compared to most K-dramas even though the general idea is commonly used (ex. guy changes his ways and falls for girl, ect...).

The acting I can't necessarily give a fair value on since I actually "watched" this via recaps, but from what I know of the actors and actresses they generally are able to perform very well. Music was fine, and I will definately rewatch this drama after I break down my to watch list.

The plot was fun and a lot like smiling pasta, but with less silliness. I enjoyed the relationship developement of this drama and how the characters changed over time. The acting was really well done, although the girl was a bit too much of a scatterbrain at times in the beginning -I think her character underwent the most change.

The Music was fine and I will rewatch this one in the future. Definately a must see if you like contract relationship dramas like Smiling Pasta, Drunken to love you, fated to love you, ect......

The story was really cute, but there was WAY too much filler. I fast forwarded at least 10 minutes of every episode and it still made sense. I always get a bit frustrated when the "other" girl tries to take back the buy, but it all ends well don't worry. The last scene is quite funny and akward -I would be so embarassed and ticked if my parents did that to me on my honeymoon.

The acting was really good by all parties and it wasn't too over the top. There were lots of silly moments, but they all worked.

The music from what I remember is fine, and I would rewatch this drama again in the future although I will be fast-forwarding through part of every episode like the first time or skipping a selected few episodes.

The plot was good, although typical guy doesn't like girl at first but learns to love her. The first couple of eps were a bit slow, but after taht I was hooked.

The acting was really good, although at times it was a bit over the top. The main girl at first really annoyed me with her immaturity.

The music was fine, but nothing exceptional. As far as rewatch value it's definately rewatchable, although I'm not sure exactly where it would fall priority wise for rewatching.

The first couple episodes were really good, the middle episodes were either frustrating due to too much indecisiveness on the male lead's part, and the latter episodes were ok although they still made me a bit frustrated. Also the CEO going after CH was just wierd and how manipulative he was made me angry and creeped out.

This is just an ok arranged marraige drama when compared to Sweet 18, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

The acting was fine as the characters all had their strengths, flaws, and unique presonalities without an excess of overacting. I don't think I'll watch this again because there are dramas I enjoyed more that are less frustrating which equals a no go for me on rewatch value.

I thought the general idea for the plot was unique and fun, but I really felt bad for the main guy as he was "tortured" by the girl disguised as a guy. The blind date breakup plot in the beginning was really funny and enjoyable to watch. The main thing that p.o.'d me was how the grandmother changed her opinion of the girl when she found out she was a girl and not a guy. I was also a bit disgusted like the other user about the guy liking her as a guy -it was just akward and just plain wrong on so many levels.

The acting by all parties was excellent, as the emmotions and reactions were so realistic and not over the top when compared to other k-dramas. Music was fine, I must admit the intro song was adorable, and I would rewatch this again at a later date when I get through most of the dramas on my to watch list.

This is one of the dramas I "watched" via recaps, as I wanted to watch a drama but didn't have much extra time so that was the fastest way to see one. Overall the plot of this drama stared out strong, but the later episodes were lacking (I had attempted to watch this drama in the past, but I couldn't stand the mother and it was a bit confusing). I found this drama a bit frustrating, but it did start and end well which is often the case for dramas.

Acting was very, very good as the mother could easily get under my skin and the girls did well in their roles. If it wasn't for the good acting I don't think this drama would have faired as well in my book

Music again was fine, but I don't have too big of an opinion since I predominantly "watched" this via recaps. I don't think I'll watch this again, because there are more dramas I really want to watch that I haven't seen and I'd much rather rewatch a fav. drama instead of this one.

The plot was very unique -a "baby faced" 34 year old women has to lie about her age in order to get a position she wants in the fashion world- and I thought it was a really cute drama. However in the middle I got a little bored with all the design competitions, as they got repetive and a bit old. Also the conflict with they guy's father and her father was a bit exasperating.

The acting was very good on all parties, and I thought the male lead was so perfect at being annoying and immature one minute to really sweet and thoughtful the next. The music was fine and I would probably rewatch this drama if I ever have more free time, althought I would skip a couple of the middle episodes. I thought this could have been done in fewere episodes for more of a "wow" factor and it would have made the plot less draggy in the middle. If you're looking for a not too serious and cute drama this is the way to go.

I technically didn't watch the last 5-6 episodes as I skipped to the last one, but I felt I didn't really need to.

The story was ok for first 13-14 episodes, a couple of draggy episodes in that group, and then it dragged like crazy until the last ep hence why I skipped them (I admit I'm curious about how a couple things got resolved, but I need a break from this drama before watching those ep's).

Acting and music were fine, but nothing exceptional. Rewatch value was a 4 only because, while I thought it was overall a fine drama there are definately better ones to rewatch out there.

I have to say I'm rather conservative with my ratings and I rarely give out tens -I guess I'm waiting for a drama that completely blows my mind away even though this came close.

The plot was excellent, although I really wish both the female lead and the guy's mom would have just told the truth sooner than they did to make the story "easier", but then it would have been less realistic. This drama had a bit of second lead syndrome, aka where you want the girl to end up with the other guy, at parts but I liked how they resolved all the conflicts.

Acting of everyone was exceptional and I thought the little boy was super adorable and excellent in his role!! I will rewatch this someday and I highly recommend seeing this drama at least once.

The plot was really good, although I the pace was a bit hit or miss for me -the first couple of episodes moved very quickly while the latter ones dragged a bit. I personally think this drama could have been shortened by at least one episode, but I guess it wouldn't be much of a series if that had happened.

The acting was fine and music were fine with nothing glaringly terrible or exceptional.

I might watch this again sometime, but there are other dramas that I would put rewatching as a higher priority over this. I found this a rather average drama per my taste.

This review may contain spoilers
The story of line of the drama is so sad, especially since it is based on a true story. The plot overall is good, but I was a little ticked off at the male lead the last one or two episodes (It would be a spoiler if I told you what happens).

The acting is amazing for all parties, but especailly the female lead -her portrayal of the disease progression was so convincing and heartbreaking to watch.

The music from what I can remember was fine and not to repetitive, so I left its score blank.

I will definately rewatch this drama again and I highly recommend at least watching this once.
