The story is funny and exciting in the beginning. Towards the last 1/3 the tone starts to change because it becomes more emotional. I started to get just a little restless but not enough to want to skip episodes or anything. The ending wasn\''\''t as defined as I would have liked but it was still happy & cute.
Ah the cast is pretty much what makes this drama so magnificent. Kim Tae Hee as the princess was so perfect. She was able to portray a naive young college student who later becomes a strong princess thanks to our too gorgeous Song Sung Hun. Seriously thier chemistry is too much to take. I kept smiling like a giddy girl everytime they shared a scene, which is practically the whole drama! LOL. I really liked the supporting characters they all added something.
The OST is so fun and pretty much all the songs are amazing. Every Single Day is the standout artist on there.
I can see myself watching this twice a year just because the cast is so freaking awesome=D
Overall, its true the story does have flaws but this is still one of the best dramas of 2011!

My favorite thing about this drama is the chemistry between the two main leads. They're acting is just incredible. The way they acted made it all seem so real. They definitely reached out to the audience. They are both so cute and adorable. From the very beginning to the end, I loved this drama so much. I regret not watching this before. The many tears I had shed in this drama are just uncountable. The story was also very good. The way it paced evenly with the romance between the two main lead was just very well done. I'm really surprised how this drama isn't popular at all. I really thought that this show was going to bore to death but it really surprised me that it didn't. It now turns out that this is one of my favorite dramas.

"But Romance Town doesn't have a plot!" Well, there is a plot, but it without a doubt became a secondary concern for the writer. What the writer brought to the forefront was a thoughtful (albeit at times heavy-handed) and quirky character study, and it was this slice-of-life aspect that grabbed me. The characters became so real that I found myself accurately predicting their every move, not because the plot itself was predictable, but because I came to know these characters so well in and out that guessing their next move was like friends finishing the other's sentence. More wonderful still is the grayness within each character: there is no absolute evil or good, and as a result I found myself sympathizing with even the most unlikeable resident of the street. Overall, the world of this show felt organic, with events progressing naturally based on the characters' authentic reactions as opposed to being driven by artificial plot devices.
Admittedly, the plot could have been tighter. At 20 episodes, the show is perhaps four episodes too long. There were plot points that went nowhere, towing along certain characters in its wake. Gun Woo and Soon Geum's relationship, despite being the main one, fell on the dull side, and a last minute pairing felt too sudden, but I let it slide since it was a couple I had been rooting for. Some episodes seem to just drag on (ironically enough, given the title of this drama, those were the episodes that dealt directly with romance), while others had me yanking my hair, gasping aloud, and craving more.
Despite the above complaints, I thoroughly enjoyed journeying through the world of Romance Town with the maids as my guides. We were gifted with a glimpse into their lives, friendships and loves, and I'm not ashamed to say that I miss them already.

The Ups: The 1st episode is solid. It is funny, charming, and tricks you into believing this might be a fresh romantic comedy. Second, the cast is well chosen and as a whole have a genuine chemistry. You really feel like they all live on the outrageous 1st street. The standout of course is Kim Min Joon. He really made me fall for him in this. Now I want to see more of his dramas.
The downs: The plot for most of the series. The romance is dull. The ending is blah. Too many eps.
Overall this drama had potential but it really is a mess. I would only recommend this to anyone who has extreme patience. Good luck!

Story- Really well written. I like how it seeks to inform the audience in a way that takes the subject seriously but also is lighthearted as to not alienate the audience. The romance in this was small but still meaningful. The ending was happy=)
Acting/Cast- Solid acting by the main leads. Their chemistry was so strong that i really wanted them to be together. The acting by the little child actress was really good. The pairing of her and GHJ was perfect cause they really made a believable mother/daughter. The acting by the supporting cast was really good but i didn't like a lot of the characters.
Music- Fit the scenes well.
Rewatch- I'd definitely rewatch this again in a few years.
Overall this drama is different but i definitely recommend you trying it out.
