This drama is for those who love modern day cindrella stories. It's basically a wish fulfillment fantasy. Poor girl has rich handsome boys falling head over heels in love with her etc that sort of stuff. I was in severe depression when I started watching this show. Though it considerably cheered me up I don't think I would have enjoyed it if I was in a healthier frame of mind. It's plot is so ridiculous that you can never take it seriously. The female lead is truly irritating. She starts of as a strong character who can stand up for herself but the writer later turns her into a damsel in distress. She just cries and makes stupid decisions. Not to mention that the actress portraying her does a terrible job. Not to mention I never believed that she truly loved the male lead. This was the thing which bothered me the most. She had a very strong bond with the second lead but she was always playing hard to get with the main lead. The main lead is always rescuing her and doing romantic things for her but she hardly does anything for him. I personally enjoy romances in which both the male and female lead do things for each other. This relationship throughout felt like a one sided romance. But nevertheless it has a few romantic moments here and there which are cute. Especially if you like the male lead chasing the female first and obsessing about her. Lee Min Ho looks cute as Gu Jun Pyo. The series has a fun soundtrack. And everything from the beautiful cast to the scenic locations are nothing short of a visual treat. In short it's fun to watch as long as you don't take it too seriously and ignore the flaws in it's plot. It's fun but nothing which will blow you away.
