Kdrama fan Oct 31 2021 3:35 pm This show teaches people that a beautiful heart is more important than a beautiful external appearance. Love surpass status, wealth, age etc. Love for who that person is and not for what he or she has.

Kdrama fan Oct 31 2021 2:45 am First of all although the drama title seems to be about high school most of the scenes are regarding harsh working office environment.

I know many people don't like it becos of a high schooler and an adult woman romance but what happens if it is the other way round? Will you complain about it if it is about an older man with young teenage gal romance?

Many people also don't like the weird ugly awkward female lead. I think she acted great. It's not easy to act ugly in a show as 99.9% of the female leads were beautiful. How many female actress would be accept an ugly role? Even the female lead in She Was Pretty was not as ugly as her.

Give it a try on this beautiful rom-com (office workplace).

Nana01 Aug 11 2021 11:46 am Do you know why korean calle lee hana as a genious actress from her first debut couse she took the roles that other actress dare not to, she's one of the most cabable korean actress being annoyed and weird all of us felt her like tha tso the emotions sloothly reaches us so she's agreatest in acting itself , she didn't put herself in one pot and she's not afraid of letting herself rotally for the role , that's what i like , if want to wacth a cool , cute girl go watch some for rookies idols

Xy-za Jul 12 2021 7:47 am This is one great rom -com kdrama because of the chessy romance story and absolutely fun to watch. Their love story is indeed profound and proved that it has no age boundaries. The female lead is kinda dumb but it doesn't reli matter... looks, wealth and status is not what truly matters when it comes to relationship because theses things are superficial. We should accept the person we like/love despite their imperfections. And what matters most is that how we are comfortable and happy when we are with our partners/significant others. I find it boring if u see the leads are just perfect. And if ever they are somewhat unlikeable, u will be curious why the other lead happened to like/got interested in them and eventually fall in love. Moreover, they had overcome the prejudices of other people because of the 10 year gap.

To conclude, this kdrama is absolutely great and definitely be added to my favorite kdramas for rom-com genre. Add'l, i love the tandem/rivalry of Seo in guk and Lee So Hyuk. I also watched them at kdram "Doom at ur service" and kmovie "Pipe line. "

Lucy Jun 17 2021 9:40 pm Absurd regarding both premises: the high schooler standing in for his brother who is an international director of a renowned conglomerate and a high school jock befriending & eventually falling for the dorky contract worker with an age difference of supposedly 9 years. I went to school with a girl just like the character Jung Soo-Young who was so self absorbed with her low self esteem it oozed from her posture, her mannerisms, her speech, her outward appearance, or lack thereof, and wasn't really 'aware' of anyone else around her. Thankfully it was during a time when bullying wasn't even a concept. I will give great credit to Seo In-Guk for showcasing his acting ability in this drama playing against (to) such an illogical character as was JSY. Also to Jung Soo-Young for portraying the character of JSY to the max. I truly appreciate both of them more in their other works after watching this.

Cristalena Jun 15 2021 2:46 pm Its interesting reading the comments about the age difference. I wonder if they felt the same way with Goblin or Flower Boy Ramen Shop?

I just started watching so Im not sure on how it will play out but I like those other shows so hopefully this one will be the same.

Vee Jun 13 2021 2:49 am It's not romantic when a mature insecure woman would marry a high schooler just to keep him. He's just a kid. It's not romantic at all. It's creepy. Lol

Mags Jun 13 2021 12:56 am stupid is not funny. One can show having a very low self esteem without acting like an idiot

peppergrass May 19 2021 11:03 am A 28 yr old dating an 18 yr old is grooming- even if it's accidental in this case. I'm up for age gap romance and actually like it if the female lead is older but this raises lots of stakes and the drama failed to address them.

He is a boy who landed in a competitive, male dominated space and the only person he found he could relate with was her. No one else. Even after she learned that he was a high schooler her reasoning to be with him was not justified.

If you are in a relationship like this and you have only one mature person to relate to, that is a red flag.

I'm looking forward to seeing the male lead and second lead in Doom, their dynamic was great

Ade kiki Apr 04 2021 8:09 am Actually the main idea this drama is good.. Seo in guk doing his well in drama.. But female lead is too annoying, she do too much stupid thing, i think the producer and team production give her caracter for make this drama look funny.. But in the reality her caracter is a like idiot girl.. Good drama has been worst because her caracter.. I think this will be better if they are focus on lee min suk life in school and company and the female lead caracter should be changed to be better girl (only her caracter should be change not actrees)

nena Aug 29 2020 3:47 am For those who dislike the female lead, stop living your dream where a normal, handsome man will end up with a normal, beautiful woman.

To me, this drama defies the deliberately built social structure of dating. This drama shows us that marrying an older woman is okay, marrying a younger man is okay, marrying an ugly woman is fine, marrying an awkward and stiff woman is okay too.

This drama teaches that love will win.

inas May 30 2020 1:33 pm I really liKe this drama so far, well I reached episode 9 and so in love with seo in guk and his superb acting he is cute and the interaction of him and the other characters is keeping me interested so far and finding it funny. I also like su hyuk and his acting as usual.

the only annoying thing for me so far is the way Lee Ha Na portraied the character so annoying and nothing charming about her and not likable at all.

wayer May 13 2020 11:17 am Got hooked when his hyung called for help. Got even deeper hook when I realize it was Shin Hyesun as one of the office girls! Hah! Nearly din recognize her with that hair! Lee Soohyuk marathon made me watch this and I think it's going to be worth my time :)

jibung Apr 19 2020 3:07 am in guk's acting was so good. but the female lead is suck! how she can not act like nerd girl instead acting like an idiots. it's better focussed on in guk as between adult and high school boy than have a romantic situation with idiot girl

Voicefan95 Apr 17 2020 6:56 pm Lee ha na as jung soo young really funny, especially watch this after her acting in voice 1,2,3. I think the plot interesting, i should watch it first rather than reading other negative comments. And about LHN acting suck as JSY actually thats because the character is "Alien" duuuuh people, she is doing her job good then.

Loco May 12 2019 7:02 pm I mean, I watched this drama bcos of Seo In guk but this is the worst drama Ive ever seen Wtf....The female lead is toooo boring and her gestures, her acting is all messed up...She acts like a child ....Ughh, I cant stand her seriously

lovely Apr 12 2019 7:28 pm It is was one of my favorite kdrama ever.love them both the two lead stars is quite amazing they had a great chemistry together.hope they will cast again to another kdrama together.Seo In Guk and Lee Ha -Na is really entertaining when they act.please do again another kdrama together????

Vio Dec 12 2018 7:22 pm It was an amazing drama. Loved it with my whole heart. Seo In Guk is simply perfect

Gabee Oct 12 2018 12:10 pm Waste of time. I really dislike this drama. I mean if your into an adult dating a high schooler, then this drama will suit you. Not my cup of tea though.

Yssa Feb 26 2018 11:11 pm Love this drama so much! One of my all-time fave romcoms. Hana and Inguk had GREAT chemistry, they were just so natural with each other. I've become a fan of the writer and PD, too. Will watch anything from this team?

Budak Jola Jola Jan 18 2018 11:54 pm Waste of my 17 hours -_-, Clumsy and disgusting girl, childish love story, the boring plot, crazy women , crazy guy, crazy couple, I'm finished because of lee soo hyuk ,

Amberle Nov 05 2017 10:32 pm I thought this show was about high school, so didn't really want to watch it. But I was curious as it has Seo In Guk. Really glad I watched. It was a riot, can't remember when I laughed so much. It was such a light hearted funny drama. Don't overthink when you watch this, that's the trick. Just get sucked into the madness.

Love Seo In Guk, obviously. The drama works because of his and Lee Ha Na's acting skill and chemistry. That rapid fire dialogue of his, his facial expressions and ehem, those kisses! oohh, *fan myself*

Lee Ha Na is such a revelation. I'm watching this after Voice, and gosh she's so different. Now knowing that Voice was shot later than this drama, I'm totally amazed by her acting. She's so beautiful and icy in Voice. She's such an awkward, strange dork here that borders on ridiculous. Yet, she's also such an endearing fool here, a perfect contrast to Seo In Guk's character. She and SIG are totally at ease with each other in this drama.

Yeah, some of the scenes were over the top and cringe worthy and some of it too ridiculous, but that's the attraction of this drama. It's total madness mostly, and yet, a lot of the scenes are heartwarming. It's about ties of relationships, of family, friends and colleagues.

Watch it, but put away your judgements at the door. It'll make for a fun viewing.

akosilhot Nov 03 2017 2:49 am i like the story comedy and light romance , Seo in guk is versatile actor i love all drama of seo in guk

JJ Jul 12 2017 9:09 am This is the drama that started my obsession with older woman/younger man romance lol. I used to hate this concept but now I really like it although I'm 18. My mom and aunts hate this though lol. If you like this too, you can watch: Witch's romance, I need romance 3, Secret Love Affair . Btw, maybe that's crazy but I wish they would take actors who are in the same age range as their characters: don't take 25+ actors to play 17-20 years old guys! Also, I don't consider a drama where the actress is older than the actor a "noona romance", I don't understand why people say You who came from the stars is a noona romance, don't mislead me lmao

Amelia Jun 20 2017 5:05 am Oh boy ... Is it the requirement of Soo Young's character or is it Ha Na's acting? Very uncomfortable watching. Can't continue with this drama as it is too disturbing.

Mutya Cruz Jun 16 2017 2:23 am My first time to watch a kdrama which stars Guk.and boy he moved me which his acting...he may not be the most handsome Korean actor but he will give them a run for their money with his acting skills.

Ana Mar 17 2017 1:41 am Highly recommended. It was a good showcase of in guk's acting. I still can't get over on how the love story turned out. It was so outrageous, I love it. I thought they would play it safe but the team was courageous. I was so shocked and very happy. Thanks TVN. :)

Tinodul Feb 08 2017 4:28 am Im so sorry ...but i think ha na not good enough in this drama....

sara Feb 07 2017 12:05 am Lee Ha Na is 1 solid actress with a cute look.People who commended that the actress is not pretty,look again.If you wanna a Hot Kpop babe to be the lead,then not in this drama.Its Simplicity.She pulls any character off without much efforts,by just being herself..Check out VOICE with Jang hyuk.She is awesome!

WALEIFOREVER Jan 13 2017 11:00 am Im hmgonna give this series a try becoz of Seo in Guk. ☺

Amie1023 Nov 25 2016 3:06 am This is the first drama of Seo In Guk that I've watched.. and I kinda.like him here.. and then next is Reply 1997.. whoaa.. I was hooked with his acting,.. raw with substance.. and the rest is history.. I watched all of his Drama.. follow him at instagram.. read all articles about him (though mostly I need to check for its translation first).. My next plan.. to visit Korean in the near future.. just to tour myself to places I've seen in Inguk's Drama

SHYNE Nov 13 2016 6:34 pm I love this drama, and those who say age is important, 10 yrs is not a big deal, it may be at ur country but other countries accepted this. 2ND one is this drama is amazing where u will see the lead acctress will slowly become confident and work harder. If all the dramas is about sweet, genius and hardworking people then how about those who lacks confidence? I loved this drama because of the fact that a not good loOking person, unconfident and a little bit slow person also have the right to have happy life. I loved their romance too. It was cute and dorky , and other scenes is amazing though. It is just that the drama can be 14 episodes. But i liked the fillers so it is ok :) Watch first before judging. The directors, actors and staffs worked hard to do a drama. Not the haters

Himi Nov 13 2016 2:08 pm Refreshing <--- is a good word! Very nice story of boundless love, interesting characters and best kisses I've ever seen in the k-drama for now! I recommend for modern women 20+ cuz it's not the next typical drama. Annjong! ^^)/

Semperlei Nov 09 2016 4:24 pm A very refreshing kdrama! Feel good drama! I laughed a lot!!! Hats off to the two bestfriends who acted so well in comedic way! And also to sec. Kim! Very good acting of seo in guk! Actually superb acting... and wow this show is so romantic! Lots of sweet moments... this drama has no dull moments for me.. highly recommended! And what a beautiful ending it has... :)

Chiaki N Oct 06 2016 5:58 am This was a nice suprise. I think i has of the best noona romances I've ever seen.

Definitely a feel-good TV show to cheer yourself up with.

lin Aug 25 2016 10:59 am While Seo In Guk's performance was absolutely beyond words, I wasn't able to finish this drama, had to stop at around episode 9. I just couldn't stand the female lead anymore. Did not ship them at all. Her character was weak, no particular personality, and her behaviors were just wrong. Pity. It would've probably been a great drama without her and the actress.

debbiex Jul 30 2016 9:45 pm I didnt ship Min Suk and Yo Nah

Jocelyn Jul 18 2016 8:40 am I really love this drama its so funny

pcydks Jul 16 2016 2:34 pm why don't minseok and yooah ended up together T_T

ivan Jul 09 2016 5:21 pm is Lee Soo Hyuk second lead here?

Dian Jun 26 2016 6:04 pm I didn't watch this drama cause the heroin.I love seo in guk but i don't like hid couple in this drama she looks too old for him...

Becky Smith Jun 21 2016 9:15 am I loved this drama, "High School King of Savvy"! I already loved Seo In-guck. I had seen him in, "Reply 1997" and wanted to see other shows with him in it. I found his acting to be very easy going and genuine! He didn't seen to be acting, he felt so real in his character. I loved his juvenile spirit and easily believed that he was in high school. He had a fresh, affable personality that brought his character to life. Lee Ha-na was quirky and was a lovable, nerdy, young woman coming into her own womanhood. She seemed to be taking the long way around to find herself, but she was very endearing. Loved her acting and their chemistry. This drama just made me smile remembering the excitement of the newness and awkwardness of a first love relationship. I found myself laughing out loud at those embarrassing first experiences that we all have gone through. I look forward to seeing both in up coming performances. Even though some would say that the storylines in these type of dramas are predictable, I never tire of watching the unfolding of a new relationship between two people, especially when there is love. Keep them coming. Don't miss this one girls!

hjie Apr 27 2016 8:04 pm I don't watch many Korean dramas but one day I was bored and picked this drama because of Lee Soo Hyuk without reading the synopsis. I expected a typical k-drama, something light-hearted and/or over the top... and that's exactly what I got.

Good points of this drama (by k-dramas' standards): funny moments and characters + the directing/editing aren't as bad as your average kdrama + the acting was not that awkward imo + the age gap I guess, if you're into this sort of things + they didn't make the romance drag or unnecessarily dramatic and complicated.

Bad points: I don't think the female lead character ruined the drama because she fit its crazy mood but she was indeed a bit random and boring (like all rom-com female leads) + I would have really appreciated if, for a change, they had given us another couple instead of a love triangle, there were enough lovely characters for this + the fact the lead was a highschool student didn't bother me because he doesn't look like a teenage boy at all (it felt more like he was a company director pretending to be a high school student) but ethically, it would have been better to have, idk, a freshman college student.

Noia Apr 16 2016 3:28 am Seo In Guk's acting here is superb. He pulled off both character - a highschool student and the older brother. Full of cute funny scenes. And Lee Soo-Hyuk's presence here is a big time bonus!

smileyme Apr 03 2016 10:16 pm I watched this drama until ep.11 but then drop it because the storyline got boring even though there's so many cute romance betwern the leads but it didn't help me to continue to watched

Jesuskid Mar 31 2016 5:03 pm Actually I was hoping that this drama would be lively and high school stuff but it was boring and the title doesn't even tally with the storyline,we don't know what happened to min suk hyung and it is very unrealistic for a woman who is ten years old ,a college graduate marrying a highschooler,it like a senior high marrying a junior grade student... very annoying and unrealistic...The female lead role ought to change too.

Grant Mar 12 2016 3:48 am Don't get the hate on female actress here. Her acting is good and she's beautiful . I think this drama thought us to love ourselves/be yourself. you can't change who you are to please everyone. Look at Lee Min Seok, he likes Jung Soo Young just the way she is. Look at the scene when she's trying to be pretty as assistant but he asked her to wear her glasses back. He loves the way she is n thinks she's unic. Awkward ppl exist in real life tho. So stop the hate. Love everyone. Nobody's perfect. xo PS: love this drama. Better watch it!

Winda Altra Mar 08 2016 11:51 pm @money I felt the same. Fell in love with Seo In Guk in this drama. He was that great to me. I mean I was really in love with him and searching everything about him and listening to "Finding Myself" everyday and never get bored. That was how this drama impacted me back then. A unique plot, handsome cute men, a weird woman, strong chemistry between the leading roles, sweet kissing scenes and a happy ending. How could I want more?

Maureen Feb 08 2016 4:28 am I loved the drama n was expecting a unique change for the female lead role buh was disappointed.

Sukki Feb 07 2016 10:12 am I must say that This drama has a great story line but it lacks excitement or cliffhangers. Unlike other dramas where you will keep watching because as you watch, you fall deeper and makes you want to finish the entire drama just like Empress Ki(take note, it has 50 or more eps.). It feels like this drama is dragging it too long and I want it to finish already so that I can move to another drama. I'm sorry but this is the worst K-drama I've ever watch. Corny, unrealistic, boring and absolutely not worth it. I loved the acting of the 2 male lead roles(I commend you for that) but I can't bear it any longer so I will stop watching now. Also, I don't like the female lead, I watched many innocent and dumb roles ever since I watched dramas ut she i a NO NO! She can't act, well I was hoping for an ugly duckling-swan transformation but it did not happen. I feel so sad because this is the 1st drama I watched with Seo In Guk as the lead. =(

Klaudia Jan 30 2016 7:31 am This was really good comedy drama. I had a lot of laugh. One minus is woman lead. She was too weird. It's not about their ages...because it not a problem to me but this girl should be sweet and little crazy not weird.

Nadiaknowsbest Jan 25 2016 11:09 am I really wanted to watch this drama because of Seo in guk. But then I found out that the female lead was a girl who was like ten years older than him and he was a high school student. It made everything awkward. I find the female lead annoying, in my opinion and if she was less annoying and not so old in the drama, I would have loved it.

Louieboy4u Jan 12 2016 10:04 am This drama is weird AF. I mean how can you let your daughter marry a high school student who is 10 years younger than her. Even though they really love each other, it's still socially unacceptable (at least in my country). And beside, they're not rich to begin with. How can they survive a marriage life. So unrealistic.

Amy tran Dec 28 2015 6:23 pm I love Seo in guk and lee soo hyuk so much omg! Tbh I love both male leads but I feel so sad for lee soo hyuk! The female lead actress is literally the part I hate about this drama. I mean y can't they choose another actress. Becuz of her the drama is ruin. But overall the drama is a MUST WATCH!!! Fighting oppa~ seo in Guk and lee so hyuk!

Nive Dec 13 2015 4:40 am Gramps is sooooo cute !!!!

Sweets Dec 07 2015 9:51 pm Loved this drama so much was really cute and worth a binge :3 Most of the time kdramas make the characters push eachother away for stupid reasons but i didnt really feel like any of the reasons were stupid and everything fit nicely. i recommend it for anyone that loves corny sappy little love stories

leandra Oct 31 2015 5:34 pm To be honest, this drama was...crap. And I'm being nice. There's a few errors in this drama that I noticed. Like how soo young mentioned that the director was a year older than her. And then suddenly, they were both the same age. And hyung seuk is supposedly nine years older than min seuk, right? So that makes soo young eight years older than min seuk nd not ten. Little errors like this is ridiculous. I'm very pissed off at it. Little things count too.

And also, I know it's fiction and all but it really was stupid and unrealistic.

Jennxx Oct 17 2015 7:31 am I LOVE THE GRANDPA SO MUCH TBH. I always laugh when he is around. kekekekekeke

xynaux Oct 11 2015 10:32 pm Seo In-Guk and Lee Soo-Hyuk are the reason's why i keep watching this until episode 7. but.... i coundn't take it anymore.. the female lead is ruining everything here.. from her looks to her very baaaaaaad acting. her annoying face is just unbearable. i mean she is beautiful on her own way but when she act she gets ugly, very very ugly (im so sorry to say that). the story and casts are great except her. i think i'll be dropping it and move on to another drama.

koz Sep 29 2015 5:45 pm @first lady did you watch him in I remember you/hello monster yet?

enelra Sep 26 2015 7:03 am Nice acting Seo In-Guk!!!very natural and youre such a cutie while you act...highly recommended drama!!

First Lady Sep 21 2015 3:31 pm I just started watching this drama and I'm loving it already. I met In-Guk oppa in Master's Sun and I thought he was cool. But believe me, he's way cooler in this drama. It's a must-watch!

absentmindedG Sep 03 2015 5:40 am Omo..I cant believe that lee soo hyuk (director yoo) is 1 year younger than seo in guk (director lee)..Lee Soo Hyuk sure looks older though. Btw, i think that Lee Yeol-Eum looks a bit like Yoon Soo Hee..

Fadwa Aug 29 2015 11:15 pm I'm in love with this drama

Ingukieeee Aug 22 2015 11:50 pm I LOVE SEO IN GUK SO MUCH!!!!!!!! This drama was so good and I can't stop thinking about him. He played a remarkable role in this drama and really touched my heart numerous of times. If you are reading this comment I recommend you watch this drama it really made me fall in love with him. I want to see him more and more...

monstar Aug 20 2015 8:29 am rewatching this when i learned that seo in guk will make a cameo in final episode of oh my ghostess, and while waiting for the last 2 episodes. SIG is so adorable in this drama. and, im now a fan of writer-nim, yang hee seung, and also kang ki young. his role here in high school savvy is so similar to his character in OMG :D

Minsukkie Jul 17 2015 7:22 am This is the drama that made me fall in love with seo in guk. He is such an amazing actor! Very effective & believable. Too bad i couldnt say the same with the leading actress. Her actingbwas really awkward & weird.she only has one expression on her face when she's sad or happy or pissed. They should have casted a more experienced actress to match seo in guk's superb acting. But overall its a good drama. I was laughing the whole time.

nymos Jul 16 2015 7:36 pm I love this drama So much!!!! Seo In Guk is So adorable. It's a modern movie and kind of different from other Korean movies I've seen(they were always sorta immature to me). Admittedly though, the ending is a bit unrealistic. Getting married... really? they should have found a better ending. Seo In Guk is a really good actor being able to act as min suk and hyung suk.

kisamodel05 Jul 06 2015 1:46 am this drama is so boring!! I like seo in guk but the fact that he's fallen in love with soo young, It annoys me. soo young was so ugly

Random Apr 18 2015 2:38 am Lee Ha Na resembles Angelina Jolie in picture 11... XD

Paulene Apr 09 2015 8:27 pm After Reply 1997, Master's Sun and the King's face, I decided to watch this drama as I was more curious about Seo In Guk, he displayed the right emotions and actions of a Highschool. His bff on this drama are daebak! All of them are good. Well, the love story is good, but I found myself not to pay more attention with their affections (kissing/ teasing scene) with each other. I get more excited when Direct Yoo and Soo Young meet or bump each other. It's not that it would be better it they paired together but I wanted to see more of Lee Soo-Hyuk.

I am a fan of Seo In Guk.

I can't believe Kang Ki-Young, is actually older than the main actor. Daebak!

8/10

Joolie Apr 06 2015 6:52 am This drama was interesting at first, but then it got so weird. Where I come from, an adult dating a high schooler is illegal, not to mention incredibly sleazy. They cast the wrong woman as the lead. I mean, if they should have at least cast someone pretty. Ugh. I don't usually care about looks, but Lee Ha Na is incredibly bad looking. She constantly had this retarded look on her face, and would just stare at nothing, with her mouth open like a moron. Plus, her lips. Omg. They look like a duck, and I hate women with duck faces. She was not pretty, I found to her to be, for lack of a better word, ugly. Why she was cast alongside someone of Seo In Guk's caliber, I do not understand. It must have been horribly awkward for him to be kissing someone like her in the drama. I bet he washed his mouth out with mouthwash after every kissing scene.

Aaliyah Mar 01 2015 3:21 am I don't find this weird. I think the chemistry is great. The transition, reasoning and script was very well-thought. I think the reason why I am absolutely okay with the whole thing is because I kept thinking that their real age gap was 5 years. I think this drama and fresh. Plus, it proves that a person's charm isn't just all physical. I recommend this drama. 9/10

Annette Jan 20 2015 7:23 pm Is it just me or did this drama get incredibly weird and uncomfortable. I mean, the beginning is interesting and the plot is fresh. Maybe it's because I live in America and it's straight up illegal to do that.. I never would have imagined a high school kid liking a middle aged woman... not that cute... LOL just my opinion.. -cringes-

MrsFurukawa Dec 23 2014 10:53 am I love this drama ♥ It's a lil' bit unpopular, I guess. People seem to underrate this drama. I didn't expect too much from this drama 'cause I just picked it without any knowledge about it. Though the ending is a bit unrealistic, I still admire this drama :) I expected that he would actually go to germany and work hard to become a successful man but they still ended up marrying early. Must watch ;) ♥ Seo In Guk, I remember his face in Love Rain. :) (c) @MrsFurukawa - twitter

money Dec 21 2014 7:29 pm i second u @nabilah..haha..actually, this drama made me a fan of seo in guk. i never realized he was in master sun. i watched master sun b4 but sadly i totally ignored him there. bcoz of this drama, i began to search everything about him..lol..wow, such a versatile actor! this drama really show his acting ability. thumps up for him! can't question how good this drama..we can learn many things through this drama..i.e. relationship btween friends, family, co-workers, attitude towards elders, n many more..i really enjoying this drama. what more can i say?

BoredAF Dec 21 2014 3:56 am I liked it for a while...but somewhere in the middle of the drama, I started to have little interest towards the drama. However, I did finish the drama and the ending was cute.

syazwani Dec 19 2014 12:24 pm i love this drama...... i like seo in guk since i watched master sun......i like the character of min suk and soo young also gramps......there are cute couple min suk and soo young...... i hope that this drama will have a second drama.......and i like the character of min suk friends tae suk deok hwan all of the character in the drama are nutaral

nabilah Dec 18 2014 6:19 pm u know what.... im really happy how i dont see people hating on seo in guk's drama. (im saying this coz he is my first n only bias in k entertainment and because how i see people hating on the heirs eventho the ratings are so high makes me happy on the inside. haha. pretty faces doesnt mean good acting) ending is kinda questionable at some point but some parts are just too sweet to ignore. the way minseok care so much about soo young.... dem dem dem! adorable couple are the best!!!!!!

shrill Dec 04 2014 6:14 am Very disappointed in the ending. To be honest, if Jung Soo Young had realized that her love for Min Suk was just an sisterly maternal love, and that Min Suk had found out that his feelings for Soo Young turned into merely love for an elder sister in the very end, the drama would have been more beautiful and realistic...sad, yes, and at least it's meaningful. I know it's just a romantic comedy and it should not be taken seriously; nor is it supposed to be realistic, but nothing about the ending left that huge impact on me; perhaps only shippers of the couple would really love the ending. Also, I want to see Min Suk leaving for college, and Soo Young and Director Yoo becoming close again, but without stating their relationship. Giving Director Yoo a random girl in the end just shatters the whole image, and the episodes focusing on the marriage of Soo Young and Min Suk also ruins the beauty of their relationship. I don't mind them having intense romance in the beginning, but it should've ended in a more...subtle way. Actually, the last episode should've ended in Min Suk's brother's revenge.

Other than the disappointing ending, this is drama is one of the best dramas I have seen so far. It is witty, fun, and actually not cliche at all. It is so fresh, full of good actors/actresses, and the character development is excellent. It is predictable but unpredictable at the same time; once you get through the slightly lacking first episode, the other episodes would get you hooked on.

sivan Nov 03 2014 6:21 am Best korean drama I've seen so far, The plot is predictable and fast paced, no super villain character and every episode is really funny. The writers have always a nice way of working things out. From Ep 1 I wondered how the main couples will fall for each other, and when they did, I found myself smiling ear to ear. For me, their age gap issue just made this drama more endearing to me. Seo In Guk is very adorable in this drama. Totally different from Master's Sun and I guess that's what makes him interesting as an actor. I want to see more of him...

lerna Oct 26 2014 7:49 pm Seo In-Guk saranghe!!!! this drama is the best!! from the very first drama that i watched, MASTER'S SUN to REPLY 1997, this one is also a DAEBAK! great actor, so cute so funny and so lovabable.. i love every inch of his acting, so natural and honest.. LEE HA NA, daebak! first time to watched her so cute!!. LOVE this drama so much.. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

yuanyuen Oct 20 2014 12:25 am shouldn't he leave for germany, return as a success man and propose her??

yuanyuen Oct 20 2014 12:21 am woww... great. but i think he should go to Germany and return as a success man and propose her.

x Oct 12 2014 11:23 am Lee Hana is so adorable in this drama! I watched it for her but I don't like the male lead.

Noona_Pcy Oct 11 2014 3:32 am I love this drama kkkkkkkkkk ^^

Seo In Guk's Oct 10 2014 9:26 am I watched every drama of Seo In Guk and this was the best so far!!!! although I don't like lee ha na as his partner, but still this was great, a must watch kdrama!! :)

Hafsii Sep 17 2014 9:37 pm @Melissa (haven't a clue how to reply but) I was wondering the exact same thing they're using LG G3 phones :) Other then the adorable granddad I'm not feeling any of the characters at all but unfortunately I don't like leaving things unfinished so heres to hoping it gets better! Soo cringey most of the time and eesh the evil director has the deepest voice...scary at times.

Capricorn Angel Sep 12 2014 10:25 pm So natural, so honest, so pure. While other dramas are trying to make the dialogs and scenes as sophisticated as possible in order to make us feel amazed, this drama offers you to just get into this drama without thinking about why and for what this and that happened, and such things, but with the feeling of you're playing a game; full of imagination but still feels real.

I adore Lee Ha Na's acting! It's great that she can change the character from a woman with a traditional and conservative mindset to a cool and modern woman, without changing her basic personality from the beginning til the end! Seo In Guk is hot in both Min Suk and Hyung Suk. But I prefer the cool one, hahaha he's gorgeous sitting in front of the window like that. I hope to see Hyung Suk more in this drama, actually <3

I also like that friendship of Min Suk, Tae Suk, and Deok Hwan. Omo they are so natural from head to toe! It's dragging me back to my high school times, my boy friends were like them too. And now I even know what they talked about when there's no girl around. They are sooo in bromance,always together in both happiness and sorrow. Mocking without someone getting angry. I'm really happy with those three!

Team Leader Kim is also hillarious! Especially in moments when he and that one who always miscall Soo young by Joo young get a terrible problem. He panics out and that's so funny! Even Tae Suk and Deok Hwan impersonate him too hahaha.

Tbh, I feel like seeing Yoo ah and Yoo Jin Woo go out. 'Let's say they do' hahaha. They will be cute if put together <3

The only down of this drama is that the first and second eps aren't enough to make most people decide to continue watching. It lacks the catching point...

Thank You Very Kamsa for all casts and crews for presenting this awesome drama! I'm waiting for more dramas with this kind of scent.

dadz Sep 11 2014 7:53 am . . . . THIs is super good . . .. . . . I'm not a fun of seo in guk but after watching this drama I'll reconsider the thought of not having him on my list . . . . this is the first time that i have seen a drama especially korean that made me satisfied when we talk about the ending . .. . . .. . BEST ENDING EVER . . . . . ..

Eugene Sep 04 2014 3:21 pm Ha ha~ Well.. Seo in guk and TvN never disappointed me. Enjoy to watch this drama ♥

lhynn Sep 02 2014 9:42 am Comedy but seo in juk and lee ha na I dont like their acting.

bulbul Aug 26 2014 9:58 pm This drama made me laughed a lot.. I love this drama.. Best drama I've ever seen... One of the best thing in this drama is how can childish character could be so romantic.. :)

Icchan Aug 25 2014 6:58 pm LOVE THIS DRAMA SOOOOO MUCH!!! BEST DRAMA OF THE YEAR, imo. Too bad it ended already... TT 3 TT

catherine Aug 23 2014 12:35 am I haven't even watched this, yet I laughed so hard when I watched the trailer. Must be an amazing drama. Will watch it soooooonnnn!!!

Jasmine Aug 20 2014 12:39 am Very entertaining... Like this yo!

Melissa Aug 19 2014 4:53 am Hello!! I was wondering what phone (brand) do they use and what unit? Especially the one that has the blue case that sep in gum is using?

Excalibunny Aug 18 2014 1:20 am The special is narrated by none other than Lee Hana! Her voice is so sweet and distinct! Can't wait for the sub..

siri Aug 17 2014 11:17 am I must say I began this drama with grave misgivings, especially with regard to the (often disturbingly) quirky and strange personality of Jung Soo Young... but as I watched it I was drawn in more and more by the pure heart and hilarity each episode brought to play.. and I began to appreciate the unconventional setting and characters for who they were rather than expecting them to fit an idea in my head. I really like that they didn't try to give the lead girl a 'makeover' and personality change, but rather made us gradually love her for the quirky person she is. Moreover they didn't shy away from an unconventional ending, didn't deal with diabolic second leads and refused the use of easy cliched tropes such as time jumps or time out abroad to smooth out the issue of an age gap. Most importantly the drama did what it set out to do with great success, tell a heartwarming and fun filled story about loyalty, love and camaraderie, and it made us laugh the whole way through to boot. The cast were all brilliant and enormous fun to watch, but none so much as Seo In Guk who carried the drama on his shoulder making us care so very much for his story and point of view. An outstanding and captivating performance, kudos to him and the whole team.

Brigitte Aug 14 2014 9:29 pm Thanks :) What is it about? @Neete

Madeleine Aug 14 2014 3:31 pm I thought there was supposed to be a special.

catblanche Aug 14 2014 9:08 am the last girl with director yoo did the same thing that yoo did to pop sis (acting in the phone )

Neete Aug 14 2014 1:16 am @ Bridgitte: My Secret Hotel

Brigitte Aug 13 2014 1:01 pm What's the new drama??

Neete Aug 12 2014 9:25 am Hallelujah, it has ended and finally a new drama next week. Can't wait.

aeleen Aug 12 2014 4:53 am the ending is so wow for me wkwk I still surprised with the ending =)

wdsosh Aug 12 2014 2:48 am so fast T,T 17 eps kkeut

aline Aug 12 2014 1:00 am Great drama! The story is fresh and enjoyable to watch, nice ending too..

Gunn Aug 11 2014 6:43 am I like that this drama took a jab at the fact that lee soo hyuk wears girl clothes .LOL . Well......... Slightly feminine I guess

Excalibunny Aug 11 2014 1:12 am Lee Hana's portrayal of Soo Young is absolutely brilliant. Her lovely voice and awkward mannerism is just too adorable. How can anyone not like her? Such roles are really made for her. I still remember her first role in Alone In Love, with the same alien-like personality. I can't think of anyone else who can perfect such a role. I hope to see more of her in dramas. I missed her so much during her 5 years break!

Snailz Aug 07 2014 9:09 pm Does anyone know what the music is called at the end of episode 16 or episode 17 trailer?

maria Aug 06 2014 8:44 am what's the name of the actor who plays the captain of the ice hockey team??

Lovelyose Aug 06 2014 2:48 am What's the title of the song played in ep 14 when manager Yoo walking in the rain?

holly Aug 05 2014 10:47 pm I can't wait for the last episode i mean if youve seen the preview soo young says " let's get married" LOL! Then looking at Min Suk's face after was priceless!!!!

Mei Aug 05 2014 6:44 pm I feel dissapointed with the 16 episode. At epi 15 i thought that ah finally the story become more interesting but what a waste. How can comfo vs pavo end up just like that. I mean they should put this story more seriously rather than prolong min suk soo young love story. Can't believe lee hyung suk just end up like nothing happen at all after all of his effort. 실망있다 진짜.

catblanche Aug 05 2014 11:09 am really awsome ep 15 ; how could the actor be two deferent character with two deferent age ; you can really believe that one is high schooler and the other one an adult ...seo in guk i really admire you ...your acting is really awsome.

Nina Aug 05 2014 10:00 am I Love Gramps... He's my favorite character in this drama. Writer nim, how could you do this to me? :sob:

P.S: I like all aspect in this drama except the Soo Young girl (I hate the character not the actress). Even Betty (of Ugly Betty) is better than her. I hate her hair, her glasses, her cartoonish attitude, etc. So gross. Please don't put this type of character as female lead in the future. Thank you!!!

P.P.S: I hope I don't sound so harsh. I have nothing against Lee Ha-Na. Mianhamnida.

LJ Aug 05 2014 1:23 am last 2 episodes :(

heartbroken Aug 04 2014 10:08 pm Episode 15 just broke my heart </3 I'm not sure how I'll be able to get over this episode, I'm not gonna spoil it but I'm just speechless and going crazy to see what going to happen now that it's ending.. Tears are overflowing This was definitely the best episode of the entire drama Love you seo in guk♥♥

chairyn Aug 03 2014 5:41 am I really love this drama...its entertaining and inspiring...good job to those people behind this artistry. Its one of my greatest well-loved korean drama. Lee Min-Seok is indeed idealistic! I cant wait to see episode 15 to 17.

butterflIy

Feline Aug 01 2014 4:26 pm SO in love with this drama <3 it's funny and touches your heart at the same time, there are no boring parts, and it's easy to watch, love watching In suk and Soo Hyuk, they're amazing <3 so good-looking and talented!!!

Fighting <3333

Looking forward to the next episode!! <3

Carmenita Aug 01 2014 8:29 am So disappointed with the combination. No sparks, no chemistry, nothing at all between Lee Min-Seok & Jung Soo-Young.

sora Jul 31 2014 7:12 am The story actually really interesting, but the way jinwoo and minsuk "fight over a girl" scenario really look like a childish game, i mean, they can fight with a manly way (work competition or athletic competition). I understand if minsuk a little bit childish but jinwoo and soo young should be more mature than him. it feel likes high school romance with a mature setting. But i really appreciate all the actress and actor acting, really good and natural. i think i know how this going to be end, unexpected a new obstacle come after epi 14, but its a good start since the love story between minsuk-sooyoung-jinwoo is getting over climax.

hapu Jul 30 2014 12:27 pm there is no chemistry between Lee Min-Seok and Jung Soo-Young. so disappointed

Yoomeheart Jul 30 2014 2:12 am Wah!!! I really really like Director Yoo Jin-Woo... he's so cool! <3 <3 <3

Nana love Jul 29 2014 4:06 pm Ciel ..butterfly

Imoan Jul 29 2014 1:30 pm Oops! I blundered on HIGH SCHOOL KING episodes. I should have said ep 13 should pick up where ep 12 ended rather than skipping a continuation of 12 and starting a new scene in 13. Didn't mean to cause any confusion without correction.

Imoan Jul 29 2014 10:35 am What happened?! Shouldn't episode 12 have picked up where episode11 left off?! ep 12 melted down to only two actors upholding the whole scenario. I could sense distance between the two main male actors to the point that Lee Soo-Yuk gave the famous middle finger flip to Seo In-Guk in the elevator scene. Episode 12 was a total disaster. And why-oh-whyyy Lee Ha-Na was not allowed to grow-up by ep 6? A 28 year old acting worse than a 15 year old?Please, Please, Pleeeese! Stop using flesh and blood actors and actresses to imitate or mimic comic book characters. Using a manga or comic book story line is Ok but, to try transforming a real person into becoming the very image of a comic book or animated character is totally ridiculous, aggravating and not funny - In No Kind of Way! I love all the actors chosen to be in "King of High School" but the director was asking too much of them. I am sure Lee Ha-Na was very worn out by the time ep12 was completed. I kept hoping her character would have finally grown into maturity by then so that she and Jin Woo can love each other.

weya Jul 28 2014 9:05 am even though i got a little chance.i still want soo young end up with jin woo oppa. i'm just being fair with yoo ah. :3 hoping to see hyung suk and min suk together face to face in a scene.lol

yumi Jul 27 2014 1:48 pm Does anyone know the name of the ending song of ep 9 and 11?

she Jul 26 2014 8:20 pm omo can't wait for episode 13 :) min suk <3

Seyoung Jul 26 2014 6:05 am Yayaya minsuk ya.. I hope minsuk ends up with popcorn sister and yoo ah will ends up with rice cake ahjussi :p How about hyungsuk? I hope he would appear soon

anthy Jul 25 2014 11:46 am Ommo!! Love this drama,,episode 13 has been released..?

Ashila Jul 25 2014 5:57 am I really hope that Soo-Young won't end up with Min-Seok. It's just so sad to see that Yoo-A hurts. How can a sister be so cruel for just a love which happens for a short time?

Melanie Jul 24 2014 10:32 am ommo!now Iam so addicted to this! cant wait for episode 13 now that popcorn sister already made up her mind!f ighting!

Melanie Jul 24 2014 10:26 am OMMOOOO! it started as 'good as nothing" but now I'm hooked to this drama! and i take back what I said! It is never 'good as nothing'! It's the best thing I've ever seen! waiting impatiently(just kidding^^) for episode 13! I wonder what will happen next now that popcorn sister have already made up her mind!...FIGHTING!!!

Dianne Jul 23 2014 1:19 am 16 episodes but was extended to a 17 episode + one special episode . I do somehow hope Minseok ends up with Sooyoung and that her sister Yoo-ah ends up with Ki-hoon, one of Minseok's teammate in ice hockey eventhough Yoo-ah and Ki-hoon don't really have a scene together . :(

Brigitte Jul 22 2014 6:32 pm Omg!! This dramas is so good and not boring at all!! I can't wait for episode 12!! I totally want Ming seok and the popcorn sister together they are cute the sister Yoo-Ah is so annoying though she wasn't even dating Ming seok! I hope the drama ends well and everyone happy but I really want them together Heavy black heart️Heavy black heart️ Anyways does anyone know how many episodes they'll be??

wildfly Jul 22 2014 2:20 pm extension confirmed.

but WTF happened

SPOILER

with ming-seok in episode 12?? it looks more serious than he-canot-play-hockey-any-moar health problems...

aisyah Jul 22 2014 6:24 am really LOVEEE this drama, this drama is not boring at all! for everyone behind this drama keep up the good work, fighting!❤❤❤ and I hope they give an extension for the episode hehe(:

KimBurstYou Jul 22 2014 2:59 am seriously i'ma Lee Soo Hyuk Go-er all DDDaaa Waaayyy in this drama.....

mirae ♡♡♡ Jul 22 2014 2:37 am is it just me or it's really weird t0 see p0pc0rn e0nnie and min suk dating? g0sh!!!haha

Seyoung Jul 20 2014 3:06 am Someone please take popcorn sister and dress her up. So, she can be prettier.. Can't wait for episode 11.. huaa!

Deb Jul 19 2014 4:21 pm Looove this drama. There are some really great romcoms out right now (Marraige not Dating and Fated to Love You) but this has my heart.

Shakira REALLY good point about the lack of the makeover scene. Min Sook really likes Popcorn sister JUST AS SHE IS! It was so funny how his friend was trying to be nice and described her as being like an "alien" and not like other girls. Then right after Min Sook exclaims that yes, it's a reason she likes her so much! I loved that! a Apart from Jin-Woo's dad I love all the secondary and side characters. I'm fully invested in the High School King universe.

Shakira Jul 18 2014 6:04 pm OH MY!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE 11!!! I like that popcorn sister is not a conventional beauty and I'm glad at this point they haven't done the typical makeover scene. Like "whoa I didn't know you were cute til you changed your clothes and hair, now I like you". Even though I love those dramas too. This is refreshing. Her character is really sweet and caring and that's what makes her attractive.

Sam Jul 18 2014 5:26 am This is a nice comedy drama that I cannot bear to watch any longer because of the female lead. She is sooooo dorky. Whatever the writers had in mind, it's just so wrong. When she flashes her teeth, I don't know if she is laughing or crying.. and her outfits..seriously? Everyone else in the office dresses professionally, but she doesn't.. And whenever she's around her boyfriend, she acts like an idiot. I can go on and on..jeez

anooony Jul 18 2014 1:34 am has anyone notice.. lee hyun - seuk at episode 10 lee min seuk's older brother during the time they fight at the event with ji won??

Madeleine Jul 16 2014 4:23 pm Episode 9 is the most romantic episode I have seen in a k drama. It was perfection - love, adorable romance. Ms Milk Toast still weirds me out a little with her deluxe dorkynessi but I have to admit seeing her sleep with her glasses on was funny.

reverdrama Jul 16 2014 3:51 pm a very good drama cause the realization is like a movie it's fantastic like the drama a love secret affair the pictures are the best unlike some dramas like the heirs or you who came from the stars in which happened nothing very very long dramas

dramADDICT Jul 16 2014 3:10 pm Such a wonderful and funny drama that more people need to see! I like the non-stop pace and all the developing second stories. Seo In Guk is sheer perfection in the dual roles as the high schooler pretending to be his executive brother. I thought this would not be believable. I am glad I was wrong. The chiseled body of perfection, Lee Soo Hyuk, has shed his pretty boy model only image to play the role of the troubled son of the chairman. I feel the pain he portrays trying to win the approval of his father and protect his institutionalized mother. Spoiler: The bomb drops in episode 10!!! It will be hard waiting for episode 11.

sj23 Jul 16 2014 8:15 am i technically fell in love with lee soo hyuk.. love his deep voice.. i like seo in guk too since reply 1997, i like his consistent way of acting... ep 10 was great! cant stop screaming (not scary)

sj23 Jul 16 2014 8:12 am i technically fell in love with lee soo hyuk.. love his deep voice.. i like seo in guk too since reply 1997, i like his consistent way of acting...

momof2 Jul 16 2014 1:05 am i lov seo in guk and lee soo hyuk. both of them are adorable, handsome, and charming. teheehee....

annidaunnatiqulya Jul 15 2014 9:23 pm you have to watch ep 10, great!

Aisha Jul 15 2014 9:26 am This is an amazing drama. I am in love. It has an intense love triangle even though director yoo doesn't know he loves her yet *wink wink* but episode 10 looks amazing. I wish the subs come out faster because I can't wait much longer. I definitely recommend this drama to anyone. It's seriously awesome!!

Elena Jul 15 2014 5:46 am This is the best drama of 2014 so far!! Soooo good :D BTW, someone knows the ending song for the last episodes 7 and 9?? I'm combing the web to find it, but nothing TT.TT

Kirsche Jul 15 2014 2:08 am Seo In Guk is such a good kisser!! unlike other actors when they have a kissing scene..lolz

Madeleine Jul 14 2014 9:56 pm Episode 8 is one of the most romantic episodes I have ever seen in a kdrama. I find her character overly meek and mousy so that sort of distracts me but other than that I have enjoyed this drama a lot. I do not understand the 2nd lead's treatment of her, although I can understand his personal pain, just do not understand how he could use her that way, so I am looking forward to more and also want to know what happened to his brother and hope he is okay. I also really like his adopted father very much and seems he knows the President, maybe 2nd lead's mother was his wife who ran off with the President?

aonaaa Jul 14 2014 4:50 pm This might be one of the best drama's I've ever watched. I just finished episode eight, and I still have high hopes for the coming episodes. Seo In-Guk is not only eye candy to look at, his acting skills left me in awe as well.

Moreover, I really like how the drama is aiming for a refreshing approach, in that it doesn't follow your typical everyday mellow romcom formula. I do believe it has a rather realistic storytelling. The shaky camera and the alternative soundtrack both contribute to this new feeling.

Some might feel that it has a slow pacing, which I agree to. However, I think this is genuinely necessary to help build up character's backstory and in order for us to relate to them. It's also very relaxing, because you have the feeling that anything can happen, at least for me. I didn't end up frustrated because of how I wanted things, rather, I could sit back and relax to see how the story would unfold. And besides, I only felt that the first few episodes were "slowly paced", you really get to enjoy it thoroughly afterwards, you have my digital word!

The characters in general are all interesting, and have a more in depth element to them rather than being flat as opposed to many other kdrama's. The comedy is well balanced, it's not straight up slapstick, but it does make you chuckle from time to time..

I feel like this drama could be described as mature and alternative, if you will. Hence my curiosity as as to how this drama will unfold!

In conclusion, it's not boring/slow, it's different, which is why I believe it's so original and definitely deserves more recognition.

P.S If all that didn't convince you, watch it for Seo In Guk, do it for the Guk!

sora Jul 14 2014 8:21 am to Quynh: It is sang by Honey G - 셀렘. Honey G came from Super Star K4. they're vocal color remain me of 4men.

Yana Jul 13 2014 9:37 pm This drama was very boring at episode 1. I dropped this drama halfway of episode 2. I don't know why, but I guess it didn't really have that tug to keep on watching. And the lighting of this drama is too gloomy and moody to be a rom-com. So I've been reading some small recaps and seeing photos of it. And I decided to start the drama again at episode 8. It became more watchable. I guess, if you pay attention to the drama closely you might like the drama. And it's SLOW PACE. I don't like any characters, but oh well, maybe they'll get more interesting later on.

Madeleine Jul 13 2014 8:40 pm I am enjoying this drama a lot. I love the sports scenes and office situations so far. Obsessed stalker bully girl pretty scary; I just watched 3 episodes and feels like she could burn a house down. Lee Ha Na's character as her sister is bizarre since she is her convoluted opposite, yet both of them are pretty obsessive they share that much. Hate her head hanging, dopey frumpy girl outfits and her sulking schloompy walk. I guess she is following the director's and writers on that score. Most of the females in this show are quite bizarre and sort of extra estrogen challenged.

Davia Jul 13 2014 3:51 pm I don't like to criticize people publicly but acting a person who has low self esteem entails a lot more than holding ones head down and making weird facial expressions. Thankfully the character's esteem is improving and we are not being subjected to this anymore. Subtlety in acting is really important. Otherwise the acting in this drama is excellent by everyone including the supporting cast.

carlito Jul 12 2014 8:54 pm i really like this series, the cast are too fit for their respective roles. This drama has become one of my favorite korean dramas. i am on episode 8 and looking forward for the future episodes. God bless the characters and behind the scene people.

le Jul 11 2014 3:04 pm i saw the 1st episode and just loved this drama. lee ha na and seo in guk are really good actors, they are pretty hilarious too. comedy suits them well. tvn really has so many good dramas. i wished the major networks did a better job of choosing dramas, writers and cast. i think kbs is the worst, then mbc, but sbs has good dramas usually. funny i noticed King Of High School and Trot Lovers lead couples switched partners from Reply 1997 and Meri Daegu Attack Defense Battle, and are rivals in same time slot. i've been a fan of lee ha na since alone in love, when spring comes, meri daegu, and women in the sun, hope she acts in more dramas.

druegnor Jul 10 2014 9:55 am Lee Ha Na Noona..

Love to see you acting again. Kinda sad there is not many drama you are in..and it seem you are trying very hard in pulling that character..Noona fighting!!!

Having surpasses 1% rating is a success for this cable-TV drama and Seo In Guk acting is improving from previous drama ive see him in (Love Rain, Reply 1997). This drama can be another hit for tVN after Reply series and Emergency Couple.

Keep-up the good work tVN and produce many more good dramas

Ohyounghwa Jul 09 2014 11:36 am I love the main characters!!! Le Ha-Na's role is really refreshing and i don't think she's a "bad" actress but it's just the role she's given made her act like that... Seo In Guk looks really young! no wonder he's chosen to act as a teenager and I love Lee Soo Hyuk's role since the drama shows a good reason for him to act that way and it also gave me a new perspective! Overall, I love this drama since it's really refreshing hahahaa

mnnolh Jul 09 2014 12:06 am first of all i love this drama and i think its gonna be my no 1 drama because its not like other typical Korean drama and the story is different then other k drama and i really hope the ratings gits up because it deserve to and one more thing you gays has to stop talking about the actress i mien this is her character in the drama idk why people are heating on the poor girle

meeeeeesh Jul 08 2014 7:10 pm Lee Ha-Na !!!!! they shouldn't choose her for this drama :( im sorry but shes really not a real actress :| her acting the only thing i hate about this drama :\

Space8kai Jul 08 2014 6:15 am @briseis thanks for the info, I did not know that... I'm watching this on the kdrama app...

Love this drama...it's real cute...

briseis Jul 08 2014 4:15 am The ratings are actually pretty good considering it's a cable TV drama. Pay-TV channels have less viewers than free-TV channels like SBS , MBC or KBS2. The general consensus is that if the show gets past 1% it's a success. With HSK being near the 2% mark means the drama is going strong in the ratings.

esa saputra Jul 07 2014 1:55 am halo,, i am esa from indonesia, the story is very good,, the caracter is unique too,, this different from the others of drama korean series, so,,, i wish you could continue by this way,, i hope you will you're the best

SanGK Jul 06 2014 11:13 am Min-Seok and Soo-Young shouldnt' be a couple. I think MS just need to care of Soo-Young and in love with Yoo-A. That's a touch when Yoo-a knows her "boyfriend" likes her sis.

Melissa Jul 06 2014 1:07 am I am really loving this show, and the actors that portray the characters! I don’t understand why the ratings are so low, because this show is really good. I especially like Lee Ha Na’s role as Soo Young, and the way she is brings a different light to the show. She gives the show it’s comedy, life, and inspiration to others. Her personality according to others may be different, but that is what I like about her character. I don’t think the writer should change anything about her, because that is what makes the show interesting to watch. I am really loving Lee Min Suk’s character, because he does not act like the rest of his peers or coworkers. He is a very kind, gentle, and caring guy. When he is at school he does not act or think like an actual high school student, and when he is at work he begins to realize and go against the cruelty of the work world. I think he and Soo Young are the perfect match because they are in many ways similar, as well as his feelings for her are sincere.

Quynh Jul 05 2014 9:14 pm Can someone please tell me what is the name of the song at the end at the drama. The song that was playing when they were hugging and the recap part.

Hana Apr 14 2014 1:17 pm Lol I thought Seo In Guk would be a teacher when I read the title and saw his picture but a high school student? Then that's a student who failed his graduation 10 times and is still in high school at 27 haha
