I loved the drama. It doesn't fit the best drama standard but its enjoyable all the same. the actors were great (the villains were of a most devious, powerful and poisonous vein- simply awesome i tell you).
i will not lie to you, it does drag a little bit in the middle but the last episode has you on your toes so i would say its worth it. the story is nothing new, its derivative and cliched but it unfolds well. the characters change, grow and love in a beautiful way. Both the leads are amazing, one astoundingly heroic, cool and strong; the other quirky, funny, and charming. the actions scenes are good and the romance is cute and touching (although i was disappointed with the lack of adequately thrilling kiss scenes).
the music was a let-down. i'm not saying it was bad, but I think it was n't well-suited. it could've been better.
all in all, it's been emotional. i hope you guys like this one too. :)

what initially drew me to this drama was the fact that it had a strong female lead who presented a picture of amazing strength, charisma and fiery spirit. but the story really doesn't go anywhere after the first episode. it flounders here and there and the romance seems strained after a point.
its a one-time watch. if you have better dramas to watch, i suggest you watch them first.

but i thought of giving it a try once i exhausted my drama list.
and boy am i glad i did.
this movie had me crying like a baby by the end of it. although the plot is very overboard-unreal-dramatic (i mean how can a relationship go so absurdly wrong? how can all the bad tragic stuff happen to one cute innocent harmless couple?), this movie had it all-romance, (initial)cutesy-comic scenes (they're very hard to find later on), beautiful, admirable love of the purest kind. and tragedy. alot of tragedy.
this movie is probably not for practical people or people who look for logic in the stuff they're watching. but if you're looking for melodrama, romance, dreams and inspiration, then this movie is a must-watch. :)

and after i finished watching it, i had alot of mixed feelings.
initially the story was engaging and it made you want to keep watching. the cast was awesome and the songs were great.
but the end left me dissappointed...i felt it could have ended better and differently.
But the story on the overall is very entertaining and excellently depicted day to day values, conscience conflicts and most of all change.
Change in heart. Change in human bonds and relationships. Change in attitudes. And in expectations from oneself.:)
despite my qualms regarding the ending, i still think its a must watch. :)

the cast is superb. han shin bi (the kid) is probably the most adorable kid i've ever seen. (@_@) the lead is pair is refreshing and cute...i love how impetuous and cute they are. and how their circumstances had them fall in love...
the drama is fast-paced and every episode is very exciting. jung se jin is a fabulous character...its wonderful how she changes from a clumsy loud-mouthed, immature girl to a responsible , stern, and caring-indulgent mother...eugene did an awesome job as jung se jin. han seung wan is another cool character.
the music is fun, catchy and happy.
the ending, on the other hand is unprecedented...the sudden twist of fate...i literally cried my eyes out in the last few episodes...
but dont be mistaken my tragic-movie/drama-hating friends the end is not sad so u can continue watching without being worried. :)
i personally encourage u to watch this drama as in my opinion it is pretty wholesome...although it was pretty unrealistic in certain bits..(but whats a drama without some drama, hey?) it has family, romance, comedy, (a certain extent of tragedy) and lots of drama :)

The story is precise, unusual, cute, (and pretty cheesy in bits and pieces). the main character is vivacious, interesting and really funny. theres not one bit that you would want to fast forward. theres also no main bad guy...every body has their own light and dark...
for me what really made this drama into must watch was lee da hae...she made it look so easy..! her acting was brilliant and he made you fall in love with her unusual character...who is a swindling dishonest cheat.
the lead pair is amazing..really cute and totally loveable! their romace is subtle, well-done and enjoyable. all the lead actors are pretty good looking (if its d eye-candy quotient ur worried about)
the story gets mad, hillarious, sad and happy from time to time.
so ur in for a bumpy ride! enjoy!

the acting was awesome. im yoon ah did wonderfully as yoon hee. and jang geun seok looks good no matter what he does. although i liked him better as the caring, sensitive at the same time decisive seo joon. :)
the music was epic.very catchy. it sticks with you (and then you cant get out of your head). the soundtrack was well and aptly utilized. it balanced and supplemented the dramatic scenes as well as the cute yoon-ha and the seo joon-hana moments. :)
mi ho and hye joong made wonderful bad-but-pitiable-and-not-so-bad guys. hye joong in particular was quite impressive. there were moments in the drama where i quite literally wanted to rip her head off, but in the end i couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
in my opinion, the end felt slightly rushed. for half the drama you go through mourning for in ha and anticipating more "unseen" obstacles for the joon-hana. so the fact that it ended on such an abruptly good note was kind of unsettling for me. the end still managed to bring a smile on my face though :) it was warm, touching, cute and sunny :)
i also liked how hye joong changes her personality a little in the end but still manages to remain the same character.
on the overall, i would rate this drama an 8. :)
