I kept debating whether to watch this one or not. I am not glad that I watched this. I stuck with it only because of Kang Ji Hwan and kept hoping it was not going to end the way that it did. I had to quickly watch something else to brighten my evening.

I just finished watching drama... I can say I was really disappointed with ending. The whole drama was amazing - story is no ordinary, music is loveable, cast is great and also characters are grown up... But someone can like it, because drama is full of romantic scenes. It is cost to watch it I think.

The music got kind of annoying sometimes since it was a bit distracting. The one thing that took away from the story was some of the situations were ridiculously far-fetched in a defying-physics sense (those who have seen the episode know exactly what I'm talking about). It really irritated me. That, and characters didn't really develop. Writers just threw in a time skip so they didn't have to worry about the why or how.

This drama could’ve been the perfect ‘Anti-It’ Korean romantic comedy since it went against the usual ‘cool-guy-falls-for-naive-and-unsophisticated-girl’ plot but all the guessing as to who the male lead ends up with made me feel so disappointed at the ending. So disappointing that not even Kang Ji Hwan’s usual acting charms could save it.
So as the story shows scenes of the main lead actor with the two main heroines in this drama and watchers are made to guess who he ends up with, fans could NOT wholeheartedly support one female lead. Thus the feeling is half-hearted and has a bit of a bitter aftertaste if the story doesn't end your way (as in my case).
In the end, it felt tiresome and the whole guessing game became unfocused for far too long. Jin Soo’s character was made to be unpredictable and eccentric but his resolution to his romantic problems was just so random and lacking a solid ground. The writers could have one a much better job solidifying the main pair and not waste time on filming scenes that weren't as important nor contributory to their pairing.

Story - Not exceptional; was just made to be complicated
Music - I can't even appreciate the music!
Rewatch value - No, thank you.

This is not one of my favorite dramas. The story leaves a lot to be desired, but the acting was really good. They did the best they could with what they had to work with. It was really drawn out. It was funny at times, but I didn't feel any real emotions for the characters. I wouldn't watch it again and I really don't understand how people like it enough to give it the great reviews that it receives.

Sangat suka film ini. Terutama karakter Jin Soo, Bravo aktingnya!!! dan Seo Eun Young. Mereka "feel"nya dapet banget.

Bisa dibilang tokoh antagonisnya dalam film ini tidak terlalu menonjol. Biasanya hampir ditiap film ada tokoh antagonis yang kejam dan jahat, dalam hal ini digambarkan setiap tokoh hampir punya keseimbangan peran. Kemudian fokus dari film tidak ditonjolkan hanya pada Jin Soo dan Eun Young, sebaliknya tokoh-tokoh lain yang terlibat cukup berperan serta. Akting dari masing-masing pemainnya kereeeenn!! momen-momennya dibuat rapih dan banyak yang berkesan :). Intinya aku suka banget sama film ini. Terutama sama peran Jin Soo dan Eun Young.

Loved this drama for its many LOLROFL moments, especially in the first half. It's sad though that it kind of fell flat in the second half and I wasn't really into the main coupling. Although I liked the main characters by themselves, it seemed that the romantic relationship was forced in order to fit in with Kdrama norms.

I don't think this drama is for everyone, but I did really appreciate the wackiness enough to forgive its many shortcomings.

This drama could do even better, had the writing and directing changed for some portion. The theme of the drama could be made clearer at the beginning, the love triangle focus is a bit unnecessary in my opinion.

As the lead pair love is very strong with enough background and history, it was given so less screen time. The story focus so much on the life of the secretary and around her family. However her story and her character didnt make me rooting enough for her development. And i was dissapointed at the back & forth trying to confusing the viewers on whos the end game pair.

The lead pair acting & story was so well done & beautiful. Their parting & meeting again was full of anguish & despair, however its so delightful to watch at the same time.

The background ost was so classic and great companion when the story got darker & sad.

Theres 2 conclusion i got from this drama : 1. Real love doesnt always go smooth, and may take major big detour, before one found another.
2. Your growth as person & in career may take various efforts & repeated trial. Before you can considered yourself success.

I wish they able to make that 2 points clear in equally enough screen time.

Lastly, i hope you watch with open mind, and you might agree or disagree with my opinion. Its great drama nevertheless.

Ok.. its my 1st time here and i just finished watching this drama, and i enjoyed it!
the 1st episode made me burst in laughter, having very embarrassing situation, weird family, and wacky actor (the ka-ching guy).

Story = 8
the story is very funny and every episode is a watch for, until the lead guy choose the President than the assistant (sad)

Acting = 10
The lead actor always tease his assistant, the assistant is the total airhead at first but became a great PD something and she fall for the joke that she will get lawsuit for copying his Boss (the lead actor) words. The annoying Ka-ching guy partnered with the helpless President.
Also, the annoying family members ^^

Music = 7
some are catchy some song, some are not

Rewatch = 6
To tell you the truth, i dont rewatch drama i already watch, but i really watch this drama again because my family really love this drama.

Times there not a-changin

On the strength of these comments I ordered a copy of the box set. Today I watched the first eight episodes via YT. Just the first three episodes infuriated me. Highlighted that this would never translate well to a Western audience. Seung Yeon is kept contained in a case overnight - if she wasn't poor it wouldn't have happened. The 2fl is being bullied, harassed and stalked. Her ex abducter her; he keeps stalking her as well as phoning her. ( He has no right to do so ). This is so negative and disrespectful of women that this stalker will probably end up with her. I would not recommend this. In any way.

Первый раз попалась дорама категории А, которая не просто оставила равнодушной, но даже не понравилось от слова совсем. Вот это ж надо снять сериал ни о чем. Вот чешу в затылке и даже не могу внятно сказать о чем собственно тут идет речь. Я понимаю, что в ромкомах сюжет все ж строится вокруг взаимоотношений, но хоть антураж и сюжетная канва должна поддерживать это дело. А тут ни первого, ни второго ни третьего. Kang Ji Hwan хорош только улыбкой, потому что все его действия и многие действия остальных абсолютно немотивированы и высосаны из пальца. Про остальной каст просто помолчу. Разочарована.
