In my husband's words: this was inept yet adorable

This show is cheesy and ridiculous in so many ways. The characters are cartoonish, the plot is nonsensical, the production values are student film quality. The "romance" has a few really cute moments but is mostly comprised of childish tantrums, miscommunications, and contrived separations. And yet, I can't deny this had a certain charm to it and I did (usually) enjoy watching it. I came into this with a strong pre-existing fondness for Jang Na Ra and Jang Hyuk and I loved watching these early career performances of theirs. Even at this early stage they both had such a star quality about them. It's amusing how the show ping pongs between the lightest fluff and hackneyed attempts at gritty intensity. Sometimes the show would get flat but thankfully I never had to wait too long for it to pick back up again.
