After completing this drama I can truly say that I loved it... til it got to episode 14 and just got down right wacky.
The story isn't something spectacular but at first I enjoyed that they add the little "stalker" sub plot. It made it just a tad bit more interesting. What makes this story come alive though is the cast. You have the wonderful Lee Dong Wook and Lee Si Young starring in this drama and they both completely made me love their characters from the beginning to the end. You also have great supporting characters like Manager Kim and Dong Ah who are down right hilarious.
The reason I'm giving this drama a 7 is because it fell short in the end. It started off great. I was laughing and waiting every week for the next episodes to come out. (I'm remembering all the good moments in this show and trying to ignore the ending... a bit)
I almost gave this drama a 5. That's how pissed I was at the end. The ending was a total disappointment to me. Please do not let the title Wild Romance fool you. This show is wild but by the time you hit the end you'll realize that it's missing the romance. It's overshadowed by the middle of the show with Jong Hee's character. The sad thing is you can feel the chemistry oozing off of Moo Yeol and Eun Jae but the writers just could't keep up.
Another thing is the whole ex-girlfriend plot. I understand. I have seen this plot used in a couple of dramas so I have no problem with it. The problem is when the ex-girlfriend seems to steal the whole show. That's when it becomes a problem. This plot was way over used till the very end. Instead of over using this they could have developed Moo Yeol and Eun Jae's relationship more. It got to the point that at the very last episode I almost found it hard to believe that Moo Yeol even liked Eun Jae.
I liked the stalker plot at first because it made me want to play detective and find out who it was. That's until this plot was overused til the very end.
If you watch this drama I can tell you now you'll have a good laugh. You have a great cast. The story line isn't special but the cast brings it alive. Even with the little romance that was given to Moo Yeol and Eun Jae they still managed to make my heart flutter.
The thing that messed up this drama for me was the lack of romance. Also the stalker plot that was great for me at first until it got to the very end and the writers didn't know what to do with the plot anymore. Other than that it's honestly a good drama. If you can ignore those things you'll enjoy Wild Romance.
As for rewatch value as I stated before if you can ignore the bad ending and still enjoy the show you'll probably rewatch this show again. I'll rewatch this show again a little later but mostly like only up to episode 13.
