While this drama had some good scenes, in general, story lines with pathetic, stupid, or ridiculous female leads are not appealing to me. One either likes that or does not. Hang Jung Eum is the queen of the plucky, messy, highly exaggerated female noble idiot. The low brow humour in her romantic comedy star vehicles is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Having said that, she is a beautiful talented actress and hopefully some day she will get to play a character that does not belong in a cartoon. She is considered a national treasure in Korea. Perhaps in the future she will choose a drama that lives up to the accolades.
If you are a fan of Ryu Jun Yeol, then, of course, you would not want to miss this one. He is captivating, as always and the camera loves him.
Frankly, really good romantic comedy that does not only appeal to the lowest common denominator is hard to come by. This one, again, had its moments, but like "She Was Pretty" falls short.
