It's easier to understand the relationship dynamics between her and the robot. The acting is phenomenal. The plot is addictive and after you watch it you'll wish you could have a robot boyfriend.
The music is good and I've re-watched it a few times, but I have to set aside a weekend to marathon it, because it's hard to stop watching. I know that there are remakes coming out this year, but I'll be surprised if they can hold up to this standard.
Like I said, it got me hooked, which is probably the best recommendation I can give if you haven't seen it. This is a great first drama because it's not too serious and it's filled with heart.

The acting was absolutely outstanding. Kuroki Meisa portrayed Izaki's character perfectly, she actually ended up being my favorite character.
The music... er, I really didn't enjoy having Lady Gaga's 'On the Edge of Glory' being played every few seconds. They played it on the most dramatic moments. -.-
I'd recommend this drama to those who enjoy action and mystery. It's not super great but it's worth watching.
Sorry if this was a pretty bad review, this is my first review. xD

This is indeed another rich guy with issues falls for a poor no-nonsense girl drama. It has all the elements you should expect in this kind of kdrama, including greedy family members, a rival "hot" guy, and a jealous female rival. Even though the story is basically unoriginal, the way the characters act/react is often refreshing, and not so typical. There is also a pretty standard subplot about business corruption, betrayals, and greed, which eventually took too much focus in my opinion.
The supporting cast is made up mostly of fully developed characters, not just people meant to keep the main couple apart. Wang Ji Hye was really a stand out among the supporting cast. I initially liked Hero Jaejoong, though his coolness/aloofness started to bore me towards the end. I would have personally liked less time spent on the secondary couple who's scenes started to feel too repetitive. I also liked Ha Jae Sook, and I loved the female friendship displayed on the show.
The music fit the show well, though none of the songs were particularly memorable. Both male leads have more than one moment where they sing, which i thought was pretty cute.
I agree that this drama goes on too long. Compared to the pacing of the earlier episodes, the last episodes really started to drag the story out, and lost too much of the humor. The last scenes were underwhelming, and felt rushed. This is one of those kdramas that start with a bang and ends with a shrug. I still think this drama has more good going for it than bad, and would definitely recommend it.

Acting/Cast - I really don't know why I'm giving it a score of 9. I don't know what's the negative one for. HAHAHA. =))) You'll be able to see some of the great actors in the future such as Yamada, Kamiki, and Shida.
Music- Hmmm. I always skip the music. Sorry! But I downloaded it to my mobile and I guess it sounded great.
Rewatch Value- If it's possible to watch this a million of times I WOULD.
OVERALL- What a masterpiece. I may be exaggerating a little bit, but it's really great. It's worth watching.

It's my ALL time favourite.
In alot of dramas you can just tell what is going to happen next.
Baker king Kim Tak Gu is definitely not one of those dramas.
It has an amazing storyline which never actually gets boring because it's so realistic and people can easily relate to every character.
This serie made me cry so much because it had many sad but also beautiful moments in it
The cast is simply outstanding and each one of them can just make you feel their love, hate and friendship.
I never thought I would watch a drama that revolved around baking.
But now i definitely would like to taste bread in Korea!
I would recommend this drama to everyone!
It's 30 episodes.. but I promise theý're ALL worth watching.

First of all, Story. The plot is very complex and interesting. At the beginning it's a typical romance but it soon turns out to be more than that. Actually it's a drama about the older generation. The reason why I gave this drama a "2" and that is "dreadful" for the story is because it turns out to be a pretty sad drama. If you like positive, funny, romance stories, do not watch this drama. This series is full of awful characters that got on my nerves all the time.
Second thing is Acting. Most of the actors did a great job especially the older ones. I only gave "7" for acting because I think that one of the main couples, Joo Young and Woo Bin didn't act very well. For me their acting was unrealistic and they didn't show the right emotions.
Music, well, music was good, but it was often too much like in typical soup operas.
When it comes to rewatch value, I gave it a "1" because I would never watch it again. It's just that the plot went into the wrong direction and like I said before, it's a sad kind of drama. Overall I gave it a "5" because it has a lot of postive aspects but also a lot of negavite ones. I hope my review will be somehow helpful to all of you who haven't watched it yet.

for the 1st 7 eps the female lead is so awful. the character is SOO whiney and has nothing remotely resembling self respect. they're going for "down and out" and end up somewhere in the neighborhood of angsty abandoned 3 yo. it was hard to watch. it was also extremely repetative and focused very little on the things that made me want to watch like the love triangle and her revenge plot.
when i picked it back up i felt a glimmer of hope. they had worked out most of the things that made me hate the 1st 7 eps but the 2nd half wasnt much better. a whole new set of problems cropped up. character development goes wonky, the story gets tunnel vision to the point that all other plot lines that have been created are ignored.
what's most annoying for me was that they picked a very BAD spot to stop. i know it's a currently running manga, but if they had waited a little longer to even go into production they could have come across a point in the story where wrapping it up felt more natural and doesnt leave the viewer hanging.
when all's said in done i dont hate it as much as i did, i'm just really disapointed b/c there is NO reason this show couldnt have been excellent.
