lelouch Mar 01 2018 3:30 am good after 3 episodes......

Rachel Aug 17 2017 5:25 am I like this drama. It's not too heavy emotionally. Well, its really hard to be in love for 10 yrs and for me it's a blessing in disguise that Sun Joo gave the couple a break for them to realize the worth of the other party. I kind a feel bad for Wan Ha because he was so loyal to Seung Hee but I guess that's really love. You can never expect the one you love to love you as well even though you're already almost perfect. Because no one can actually dictate their hearts right. So yeah, over all this drama is worth the watch :)

Sheng Aug 11 2016 1:41 pm I'm currently watching this drama; however, it doesn't attract me but still it's a good catch for Namgoong Min. His cuteness still exist in this series. I'm loving him because of that.

Migthy Thor Jul 28 2016 8:49 am Namgung Min, you're the BEST !!! The reason I watched this drama is only because of Namgung Min, and truly he's a brilliant actor. His role in this drama may be light because of the genre but still he did a great job! Yes I agree with "Fan", first two episodes were quite boring and disorganized but comes episodes 3 to 10, everything fall into right places. The development of the plot was very good, the story started to become very interesting and connected in every episodes. I love the ending too. Indeed it's a Very Good romantic-comedy drama. Highly recommendable to all lovers (",)

P.S. Seo Jun-Young is also HOT!

Fan Apr 17 2016 4:26 am Okay i have to take back i have said about this drama. I only say that because i found episode 1 and 2 boring. But episode 3 to 10 are awesome. I think the ending is a little bit short. They should be a wedding!

Fan Apr 15 2016 9:14 am Its annoyingly boring. The show sucks its not even funny -_- . I only watch this because of namgung min. What a waste

Xuân Tnanh Feb 13 2016 11:03 pm I rarely watch romantic korean movie, but in my opinion, this movie take my tears so much. The main actress she has face look like my ex girlfriend so i watch this. I didn't regret it because it is the best of best romantic movies i have ever seen!

alphabet Jul 09 2014 4:45 am im now watching episode 3, and in my opinion, i think that it was a slow start for me, but i hope it will get better ! (:

le Jun 23 2014 4:02 pm i really like the main actors lee young ah and nam gung min. lee young ah looks like son yeh jin and lee ha na. i was watching nam gun min's drama wild chives and soybean soup, and wanted to watch this drama. this drama is very funny and realistic, also the main guy's best friends are very funny, the last minute of this drama is very very funny. i liked how this drama was light and also had heart. also it doesn't have too many other characters so the storyline mainly focuses on the main couple, their new relationships, and a little about their friends, and family. some of the episodes in the first half of this series drags, i felt they could have condensed the her story and his story arcs to 1 or 2 episodes, but they do a good job of giving viewers a sense of what the characters went through. this drama is one of my favorites now.

Lucky May 04 2014 11:51 am This drama is worth to watch. So real, it can be learned about love he he..

d_zhiany Feb 08 2014 6:55 am I dont knwo why I have yo cry in 3rd episode. I just thinking "why I dont have love story like them. loving each other for 10 years.."

financial planners in boca raton Feb 02 2014 7:17 pm Heya just waned to giv you a quick heads up and let you know a feew off the pidtures aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure whyy but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web rowsers and both show the same results.

dadz Jan 25 2014 6:03 am . . . . . . .daebak!!!!!!! . . . . i thought it was just an ordinary k-drama but to my surprise, . . .it did blew my mind. the 10 episodes are worth viewing for. those 10 hours you spent watching this drama would never be a waste, and trust me, you can never get over from the fantasy this drama offers . . . .nam gong min's acting is so cute

Dee Gee Dec 29 2013 7:45 pm My absolute favorite thing about this drama was that for once the man pursued the woman! WOOOOOOT. 'Bout time.

Nyx. Dec 18 2013 11:17 am I didn't liked the ending! Seung Hee should've nded up with Wan Ha! >~<

kamutehqu Dec 02 2013 5:53 pm why does it have to be so short!!!!!!! i just can't get enough of this!!!! anyway i really hope Seung-Hee will end up with Wan-ha, i really like them together than Seung-hee witj Jong-Dae

Marie Nov 13 2013 3:20 am I hope she ends up with the one that she will be most happy with, which is Kim Jong-Dae (Namgung Min). Her heart is not true to Aong Wan-ha (lawyer), and she does like him as much as she likes Kim.

One other Im Seung-Hee (Lee Young-Ah) is so blind how can she not see that Moon Sun-Joo (Bae Seul-Ki) is a jealous good for nothing friend! this is what's angering me the most....

jojo12 Nov 13 2013 1:42 am I would like to break all of your bubbly hearts, if you're one of those people who believe that one's first love is true love... 99.9% of the time this is not the case. Yes you loved them first, so what? The heart has no limit to how many people person can love. If someone lets you go, then comes back saying they made a mistake, that is their problem they can live with the consinquences like every else.

Kao Mor Yang Nov 08 2013 12:43 am I love this show because i love the actress!! im a fan ever since i saw her in iljimae!! :D she is so pretty in here!! im so glad they made her the main girl!!!

holly Nov 05 2013 7:36 pm No she needs to be with her first love -- that's her true love

Davia Oct 27 2013 5:37 pm Cute, funny, romantic, quirky! Very enjoyable so far. Hope she ends up with the lawyer. His character is much more likable and is very sweet. I wish that KD's would stop depicting Korean society in such a callous light. The whole escalator accident and subsequent reporter commentary scenes really make their public look bad.

tori Oct 27 2013 1:40 am Why is there only 10 episodes???

fran Oct 24 2013 1:48 pm Can anyone please tell me the song title in Ep. 3 when she was chasing him at the mall scene?

youngso Oct 22 2013 1:22 pm Love this drama! Like-like-like soooo much ^_^

Ayny Oct 22 2013 2:52 am i love this drama.. cutee...

Josh Oct 17 2013 1:48 am Wow this is amazing. I am from U.S. 17 years old. This is the best drama ever. Keep going.

Ann G Oct 11 2013 2:00 pm Can they extend it to 16 episodes. I feel it's a lot to be told and I feel 10 episodes are not enough.

Melody Oct 08 2013 6:34 pm Love the first ep!

purplequeen Oct 02 2013 3:18 am Namgung Min!! Gosh, finally.... ^^

tere Sep 23 2013 6:29 pm Lee Young Ah... can't wait. ^^
