My first drama, that I completed in one go in a long time. And that should say something since I didn't get bored until the end. The summary says it's about two sisters and two men. Well, two men, yes. Two sisters, not really. Well, yes, they are different in looks and success but that's just part of the basic setting, necessary for Gong Shim's story. So, the main story is about Gong Shim, her struggling in the world of work because of her unique appearance, and two totally different men entering her world. Suk Joon Soo, charming and rich, and Ahn Dan Tae, a childish, strange coot who also appears to be a lawyer. Would you reduce the story to its basic structure there would be nothing new. All characteristics that are needed for your average Korean drama rom-com. The story still managed to entertain me to the end. Its characters were charming and lovely. It was fun watching them grow fond of each other, following the romance development and even more the bromance in this drama. But your average k-drama wouldn't be perfect without a family secret that has its roots in the past. And I think next to those charming characters it was that dark family story and the way is was unraveling that made the drama exciting and kept me watching. Of course, you have your intrigues, your silly dialogues and your stupid behaviors (no matter how much you rejoice, as a grown woman you would still watch out for cars before you run across the street, seriously). But all the characters made up for it. Not only the leads but also the supporting ones. The parents, the grandmother etc. The acting was really good, esp. both male leads. The female lead was a bit behind but not so bad either. I wouldn't watch it twice, but it was still an enjoyable ride and I don't regret watching it.
