*sigh* This drama...
I have really conflicted feelings. On one hand, it had AMAZING moments. This is defiantly my favorite roll of Dong Wook's. As my bestie pointed out to me, DW was just MADE for comedy and he fits riiight into his role of Park Moo Yul. Plus, Lee Si Young totally stole the show with her performance as Yoo Eun Jae, I adored her! Both leads had great chemistry, the side characters of Eun Jae's best friend and Moo Yul's manager were SO FUNNY and adorable, there were moments that induced side-splitting laughter from me and some interesting, unusual circumstances (such as the fact there is no "Guy 2" in this drama)!
And yet...something went horribly wrong somewhere. It was as if this show kind of forgot what it was supposed to be about. Since the beginning there was the whole "stalker" plot that had us wondering 'Who dun it?' for the first half of the series and it worked well until they revealed to us who the big baddie was and thus killed all the suspense. The show became all about the CHARACTERS figuring it all out while we had to suffer through watching them fumble around. It was almost...boring. And there was SO MUCH POTENTIAL WASTED! Oh, how I could just weep tears of frustration. So much could of happened that didn't happen and there was way too much time spent on things that were either uninteresting or unimportant. Plus, there was a seriously cheesy climax to the stalker plot.
I really wish there had been more development with the main relationship and less focus on the stalker-plot. It would of been so much better. Unless, of course, they had actually made it really suspenseful and exciting. Then that would of been awesome. But alas...
Oh well. I'll take what I can get I guess. The ending was very cute, at least. Had me giggling. But also left me wanting more. I'm not even sure if I would recommend this or not. It's a toss up between YEAH! and NO STAY FAR AWAY!
