This drama is one of those dramas that you watch when you're bored. I mean, it's not bad, but it's not a drama that you'd watch over and over again. The genre states that it's comedy, but I have to disagree. Although it has a few cute moments, it is definitely a drama. You might be asking why I look down on this drama. Well, the fact is simple. A television series is a marathon, not a sprint. Writers that choose to use all their tricks in the first few episodes end up losing half of their viewership in the middle of the drama because it starts to lag. When a drama starts out hilarious, viewers tend to think that the pattern will continue. However, in this drama, the hilarity eventually disappears altogether and never comes back. It's a fine drama for when you have nothing else to do, but it gets really slow toward the end.
The first thing I have to pick on is the music. What in the world is up with the background music? Can't they find anything else? They'll show an extremely sad scene, yet they'll have upbeat classical music to it. The classical music is that one song that dramas add to scenes were something just happened or something is in the works. It's fine to use the music for most of the drama, but sometimes it just didn't work. Also, they really only had two musical selections. It got kind of annoying by the end of the series.
Although there's nothing wrong with the series itself, I have to pick on an actor. It has nothing to do with the drama, but Kim Jae Won has the hugest smile I've ever seen. It almost reminds me of Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece lol. Whenever he smiles, his mouth takes up like a quarter of his face XD
