Fresh and iconic romantic comedy
One of my all time favourite dramas. Very funny and comedic. It is refreshing to see characters that aren't rich or are labelled as poor, but live a life that is clearly dramaland's definition of poor. ALSO to see an unapologetically confident female lead was awesome. For most of it, it was enjoyable and entertaining, but I do remember that it got a bit dragged on towards the end of the series. In particular, they kept reusing the female lead's disapproval of the male lead's decision to fight as a means of conflict for them to seemingly fill the last few episodes. Another thing to nitpick that kind of bothered me was how I sometimes felt that Park Seo-joon was always consistent with his character? Overall, the character was dumb and loveable, but when it came times to the dramatic romantic scenes, it felt a bit off and didn't always feel like it was the character "Dong-man" but "Park Seo-joon acting out a romantic scene", if that makes sense? I'm talking about particular scenes where he is meant to leave the female lead flustered in his acts of bold romance. Overall, it is an iconic drama and plus points for being Kim Ji-won's first leading role.
