This drama has fast turned into one of my favorites. It has a great balance of romance, comedy, and angst. This drama is right up my alley because I love dramas where the guy falls in love with the girl at the beginning and never waivers.
The story is very mature with its content, but the predicaments they get into are kept at a minimum . The problems that these characters face are pretty common and I’m sure anyone can relate to any one of the characters. I love the friendships especially with the main male actors. Even the side characters in this drama add to the main storyline. So many times the side characters distract or are meaningless to the story. The characters are consistent in their actions and the story flows smoothly. At the beginning of every episode there is a usually comedic interaction between the main male characters. The only drawback is that when they play flashbacks to their former selves ; they aren’t younger. If you look past that and just enjoy how funny it is, then it is all good. The ending is stellar and everything is wrapped up in a pleasant package.
The acting is really good too. I know the male leads are not typical. Their ages range from 38 to 42. It may just be because I’m older, but I found them more attractive than some of the younger actors these days. It isn’t necessarily because of their looks although I do find them physically attractive also, but because of their developed acting ability. The women were also very appealing for both reasons. There are many characters in this drama, but the ones that stood out for me are Jang Dong Gun as Do Jin and Kim Jung Nan as Min Sook. They weren’t a couple in this drama, but I think they have the complete package as actors. Don’t get me wrong; the other actors are good too. There are great cameo appearances by Sooyoung from Girls Generation, Singer/actor Jung Yong Hwa from CN Blue and Kim Kwang Gyu who has been in a lot of dramas. For the younger people, Lee Jong Hyun from CN Blue acts as Colin and Kim Woo Bin is also in this drama. They play minor but important roles to the main story. Especially Colin.
The music is awesome. If you get the chance, then you should totally check it out and add it to your playlists even if you don’t watch the drama. Seriously!!!
Overall I would say this is a must see drama for all those that enjoy romantic comedies. I loved and will eventually rewatch it.
