Despite watching this Cdrama when it came out and rewatching it a billion times and downloading it a billion times on various flashdrives....yeah I have never reviewed it. I love this drama.
It is a banal Cinderella-esque story with a strong, strong, strong dash of Itazura na Kiss . We have our super smart & rich CEO Prince who turns into pseudo-stalker and falls for lowly worker, who happens to be not so bright; yet she is peppy, strong-willed, and determined.
You start falling in love with all these endearing qualities of Shan Shan (female lead) as Feng Teng (male lead) has fallen in love. You understand and you fall in love with both of them. Feng Teng though is far more admirable than either Prince charming in Cinderella and far more palatable than Naoki Irie.
All in all this is not story I would expect EVERYONE to fall in love with because it's normal. There's nothing surprising. This nothing to keep you at the edge of your seat, there's nothing to make you cry, there's nothing heartbreaking (really). It's just a very sweet romantic story. It's something that could have been limited to maybe 5 episodes. But was nicely executed into 33 and didn't leave me bored one bit.
I like shows like this. I like something calming and I can enjoy. For example, every Christmas I do two things. I watch National Lampoon's Christmas and drink Hot Cocoa (with Milk); Oh, and eat oatmeal. It's just something I do. It makes me feel good and it's very comforting. This drama is comforting. When I need a nice come to, feel good, love story. I come to this one.
Kdramas---romantic BS or whatever--they always have something to make you cry. ALWAYS. Not one romantic comedy of Kdrama doesn't have a tearjerker moment, now imagine their non-romantic comedies.
Lakorns---Not there yet with romantic comedies...so not there yet. Too much slap stick to keep me happy. Their other romantic stories have some slap/kiss or tears.
Taidramas -- No. And their romantic comedies can be irritating. Some aren't as filling or aren't memorable. They don't reach the memorable state as the Cdramas. I have a few Cdramas taht are feel good like this.
Jdorama - They don't really do romantic comedies for me. They do romantic mangas. They're always a win, but those are independent in and of themselves.
This is a drama in and of itself. It's your feelgood romantic comedy that chronicles the steps of two people from two different worlds and how they collide along with the people that rotate in their orbit.
It's a fun ride.
