There's nothing particularly original about the story, but what made it thoroughly enjoyable and had me looking forward to each episode (even the last 2 or 3 when the show went downhill) was the perfectly cast roles. The two leads had fabulous chemistry and that gave the show something special that will make it memorable for me. The supporting cast was also wonderful. Especially entertaining for me was watching Temptation of an Angel's Hong Soo Hyun in a completely different role (give that woman more and bigger parts!)



It would have been better if this had been a 20 episode drama so they could meat out some other parts. Bits of the story were left hanging and the last few episodes seemed to be rushed and drag at the same time. I would have liked to see more with some of the other characters (especially Manager Park).



But overall, a very entertaining and heartwarming drama with some cute quirks of its own (the atmosphere in that little cafe/art studio reminded me of watching a Gilmore Girls episode). Definitely worth a watch if for nothing else but to watch the sparks between Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan (and some of the best kiss scenes I've seen in a Kdrama).

This reminded me a lot of Gokusen. Not necessarily because of the story but how its told. Its not really one storyline till the end but each episode has its own little story concentrating on one side character (...which is being helped by the female lead).

I really liked the idea of one girl being in a school full of boys.

(I mean what girl doesn't? ^.^) Sometimes it was cute and sometimes it was a little dramatic (ok, maybe sometimes a little too dramatic). The music was catchy, the acting was great and the boys were cute. This drama has a special atmosphere. You know, when you watch those (american) movies where the lead character dramatically gives a Speech/Explanation in front of an audience/other lead character towards the end and the audience so moved by his/her words that they all cheer/kiss or whatever. This kind of atmosphere leads you through all 9 episodes. Not much romance but a lot of "fighting"-attitude, so if you don't mind a little cheesiness on the side, you should give this a try. I did and I didnt regret it.

Short, sweet, simple, and to the point, this drama special had all the makings of a full length drama in just one short forty-five minute segment. Originally, I wasn't expecting much from this special, but it left me feeling refreshed after watching it - a trait lost on some drama specials.

It had this slightly bittersweet feel to it on most notes, and although it didn't answer some questions I had, I felt like this was for the best. That quality gave it the feel of a slice of life segment, making me want more and yet satisfied with what they gave.

The actors played their parts well and the music made the scenes flow nicely. Not much to say about this since it was so short, but I rather enjoyed this little piece.

Since it was so short, I could see myself watching it again one day while probably waiting for something else to load.

I recommend this for all people who love short and sweet stories with a little slice of life in them!

I really don't understand the review done by Arianya6 b/c I thought this was a really good drama that did not lag in story at all. I liked the pace of story and emotion all the way through. I really liked Chen Joe's (Xie Fu An) acting in this drama. I have watched other drama's that she has done and I think this role suited her best. I really liked how Lan Cheng Long (Yan Da Feng) displayed his characters emotions. He can really play evil but sweet. Neways this is on my FAVE list even though I can only post 4 here. I will be watching more Lan Cheng Long and Chiu Roy (Han Dong Jie) who r oh so smokin' hot. I really enjoyed this drama and will watch it again.

The stories in this drama are surprisingly controversial. That's what makes it so intriguing. Some stories will shock you, some will disgust you, some will sadden you, some will scare you and some will frustrate you. A drama that leaves such an impression on you and makes you feel these emotions, however, is one that I think highly of and therefore would recommend.

Admittedly you don't see a lot of Aaron Yan at first, which may disappoint you, but that doesn't mean you won't fall in love with the other characters, each individually trying to overcome their own troubles. Aaron's appearances are short but sweet and later when he gets more air time, I fell in love with his sweet, loving character even more. His relationship with the Death Girl, Du may leave something to be desired but is in no way shallow. I felt every emotion in this drama. A must watch!

Story was really good. I like how the leads were willing to give up everything for their loved 1's. The end was classic but could have been a little more dramatic. I did not like that some of the acting was dry w/o emotion. I really think that some of these girls need to learn how to kiss b-4 they start acting b/c the kissing scenes r always (no only in this drama) very dry and boring. Unless it is some1 u don't like then u respond and kiss back. Don't just stand there like a piece of wood. It just shows that they don't have any emotion put into the character. I know that they r trying to act out innocence and a lack of experience, but come on! Any girl, even those lacking experience would respond and mac out w/ these hot ass guys. I prolly won't watch this again b/c it does not have a fave place in my heart. But I did like it and believe that others will enjoy it as well.

I'm always intimidated by a 50 episode count, but this may be my favorite drama over 30 episodes. The secondary characters were as interesting and engaging as the lead couple, if not more so, which is unusual for dramas.



This drama is basically about the sins of the father, and the sins of long ago, coming back to bite you in the behind. You sow the seeds of your own destruction, giving power to those you think powerless. But it also is about the sacrifices we make when we choose power over love, revenge over happiness.



This is also has the best butt-kicking grandmother character ever!



My only criticism is that they play the title song, "Gloria," way too much.

This drama started with aplomb and gave many hopes of good hours of entertainment but it fell flat on its face by the 10th episode or so. The ending was a disappointment.



Acting was good as the two main leads have great chemistry. Nice OSTs - including the sweet and cute "Love Ice-cream" song. However, it was let down by the poor storyline towards the end. Storyline before the 10th episode was 9/10, story after the 10th episode was 4/10 and the last 3 episodes were 2/10 - very disappointing.



Two short sentences summarized this drama:

You'll get ripped off. You'll get lied to.



Watch with no expectations.
