HarryMatt Jul 14 2011 11:29 am By the posters and trailers i didn't expect much.After watching it it was really better than i expected.It has become one of my favourites.It was really funny and had its fair share of dramatic moments too.Although it was little predictable,the events leading to the climax made up for it.That last scene before the credits was hilarious.I definitely don't regret watching it and I recommend it mainly to fans of Korean Romantic Comedies.

Jessica Dec 16 2010 6:21 pm I liked too.:) It was funny enough and I liked the chemistry between the protagonists.
