SYNOPSIS:

REVIEW:
In all honesty, this drama just wasn't my style.  Although I enjoyed it because I enjoy painting, I didn't really like it as much as I could have if it had a bit of comedy in it.  The romance in it was...  Well...  The romance was a little uncomfortable to watch, to say the least.  The way she spoke and looked at women when she was dressed as a man was creepy.  I mean, I really didn't know how to react about that.  She really looked like a pretty boy that was in love with a woman.  What's just as uncomfortable is the romantic like relationship between the two main characters.  The characters are supposed to be like 13 years apart, but it looks more like 20.  It seems like they could be in another drama together as a father and daughter and no one would bat an eye.

I hope I'm not scaring you away from this drama, though.  Even though there were things I didn't enjoy, I think this is (overall) a good drama.  If you like painting or period dramas, you'll most likely enjoy this.

"Wi Mae Ri is a stubborn woman and the daughter of a failed businessman without much experience in dating. She starts to date tough rocker Kang Moo Kyul. Problems arise when a perfect guy with a good background and prestigious education, Byun Jung In, gets in the way."

Ever since the beginning, this drama was very popular due to it's cast. With actors like Jang Geun Suk, Kim Jae Wook, and Moon Geun Young (who have all been in popular dramas before), most fans were excited from the get-go.

With all the excitement surrounding the drama, I must ask myself whether or not it lived up to the hype. In the end, I think that it was a pretty good drama. The story was unique, the production was wonderful, and I didn't find any inconsistencies in the script or the film. There were a few minor problems here or there, but it was definitely worth watching.
