Daniel Choi was the main reason I watched this drama. So refreshing to see this type of character as the main lead. I was searching for a comedy to serve as a booster shot after one of the angst-filled kdramas. Actually started quite a few (like Soulmate, You Are Beautiful, Air City, A Thousand's Day Promise) but THIS one caught my attention from the first moment Daniel Choi displayed his talent. He and Jang Nara had delightful chemistry. His character's a true mensch and I rooted for him right up to the end. If you prefer substance over eye-candy, Daniel Choi in this drama is worth your time. (Reminded me of Hwang Jung-Min in Accidental Couple, another great comedy.) Enjoy!

I've watched so many dramas and I must say, Kim Min-Seo's character (Kang Yun-Seo) was one of the most convincing jealous female love rival ever. Every time she walked in on a So-Young-Seong-Il moment, she was intense!

I've watched well over a hundred Korean TV dramas so far. This one was so-so. Jang Na-Ra and the rest of the cast did a good job making the most out of the uninspired script. Their efforts were the only thing that stopped me from giving up on it the several times the urge struck.
I like to see a main character with a scrappy determination and who stands up for himself / herself. Also, one who is witty, brave and resourceful. But for about the first half of the drama, the scriptwriters had the Lee So-Young character acting stupid and without enough self-respect to stand up for herself. Like how time and time again she let her younger sister get over on her, or seemed clueless on the up-take regarding other matters.
Sorry, but I'm rather burned-out on those scripts that portray the main character as stupid and a sucker for others. Sure, she eventually progresses out of the stupid and weak stage. But it lent nothing to the overall script to resort to such tedious main character portrayal for over half the drama. Hopefully the scriptwriters will realize that the "stupid idiot who allows himself / herself to be disrespected and insulted time and time again" is not someone we want to relate to. At heart we are more inspired by examples that IMPRESS us.

Watching the 8th episode right now. Laughing a lot. It's true that I hate it when everyone was mean to Lee Soyeung (Jang Nara) but it got a lot better at episode 5th. Love Daniel Choi and Hyun Young characters as well.

what I like about this drama is that Jang Nara is really genuine in this drama, and I think this is her best acting ever, her Chinese drama are worst since she was only " Korean Actress" and all. Choi Daniel is also really gives his best (a brilliant actor), I can't forget his face when Nara provokes him and he seems really tear apart and ends up kissing her and then he feels so sorry then. Ryu Jin is not that "cool but needy" one and I think the sister character actually set Nara's character to a better life. (well, she meets the cutie Daniel...can't blame her...). But really....this shows is really simple and heartwarming, u might wont put it as ur best list drama, but u definitely have TO WATCH IT....!!!! It's sweet, gives you good vibe, and a feeling that, when a door close then there will be another window open for you....little bit classic but you wont stop thinking about its characters....so watch it first, and if you don't like it then leave it, but if you like it...you will smile...worth a try right?

I like Jang Nara but this drama really make me mad.... It's the part where her sister Sojin kept messing Soyeung's life. My mom like the first episode but when Sojin kept doing cruel mean things at Soyeung, my mom didn't bother to finish today episode (3rd) or the last one. I hate this type selfish unkind sister too.
