WE NEED MORE OF THIS
Light, heartwarming and entertaining, in times like we are in today, we need more dramas like this!
Da Li and Moo Hak happened to meet by chance abroad, with DaLi saving Moo Hak in his predicament. They parted ways, but then circumstances where reversed and with a sprinkle of the typical telenovela coincidence scenes, fate has brought them back together in Korea, this time, it is Moo Hak that offered a helping hand. An overused sure-fire and tested "knight in shining armor save the damsel in distress" formula.
Kim Min Jae is back and played the cocky prince perfectly, and I must admit it is always a pleasure seeing him in a drama. The lovely Park Gyu Young, in her officially first main lead role as the Da Li is just as good and convincing - I would love to see more of her in the future. There is also a well rounded support cast, I especially loved Hwang Bo Ra, Kwon Yuul and the always amazing Hwang Hee.
Special mention should be given to the wonderful stylist and costume designers.
This drama stands out by the way they defined family and second chances - that family is not defined by blood relation and that no matter how many times you fall into bad situations, its your ability to get back up and fight that matters. There was a scene when Moo Hak was in confrontation with his father after a big incident that really touched me - that as a son, he is willing to sacrifice for his father's happiness.
If there is one thing that I wish to be changed is how they handled Jang Tae In, because he was likeable at the beginning and it felt that they made him do atrocious things just to make people like Moo Hak better.
Totally recommendable. 8 out of 10 stars.
