Yoon Eun Hye is one of my favorite Korean actresses. This drama starting out well. I will give any drama she is in a try. Moved at a great pace. It did not have that same K-romance theme love triangle and their love grew pretty quick. With that said, this drama should have been 8 episodes instead of 15. Most of it was bad filler with no meaning and unanswered questions about some of the other characters. The acting was great in my opinion and the story was good but the execution falls short. There were way too many flashbacks in this drama. Was this review helpful to you?
I enjoyed the start but while the story went on, it started to become a really bad and ridiculous makjang. I mean, you can create really evil people who make you pull out your hair or want to pull out theirs and STILL respect them as well written characters. And then there are these people here who provoke the same reactions but their actions are just way over the top (and I actually liked the evil female second lead at first).
There's also the thing with story development. People argue and promise and threaten to do and/or say/reveal things, but right after that the story seems to completely forget about that and only remembers to mention it like 4 episodes later - and still without results. In the second half NOTHING actually happens, there's no progress at all.
At the end most of the bad guys have a sudden change of heart and start to act out of character. And everything is a happy ever after. The worst thing though were the bad dialogues in the last episodes. Every conversation sounded like a cliché advise for life, the cheesy ones that make you roll your eyes. And they didn't feel like conversations between close friends or family either. More like interviews between the actors. As if they've totally forgotten about their characters.
The last episode was the biggest waste of time. It went from one conversation to another without anything happening, except for that last incident which was nonsense and totally unnecessary.
I wish they would have shown more about the public reaction in the second half. They almost completely forgot about it, even though they made it a big point in the beginning. I wanted to see how the public's view changed throughout the drama.
Most of the BG music was kinda annoying at times as well. It constantly reminded me of Final Fantasy (the game) whenever you have to run through the fields to hunt monsters or visit villages (I don't get annoyed by that in the game, but it was unnerving in the drama).
BUT special points for Chun Jung Myung's cutesy in this one. He surprised me quite well.
And there was one really nice song.

This is my first time to write a review and It's a very good drama to watch ????????
The drama is something that make your heart flutter (from the title itself????) the cast, the music and mostly the story I like how the story starts till how it ends (a perfect closure w/ wedding event with his and her family attending????) I already watch similar dramas like this wherein there is that either a guy or a girl who is connected to a rich family etc. But the drama plays it perfectly and just like what I said earlier the last episode clears all the misunderstanding and conflict of the story (although I feel sad and pity for Kang hye Jo fate ????) but overall the drama is wortg watching over and over again if you want a drama that makes you forget all yoir worries for a moment then I would highy recommend this drama for you????????????????Was this review helpful to you?

first of all even the story was repeated but it was new and nice this drama wasn't bad as the harsh reviews said but it had 2 main points that made it under rated
first the production .. reducing the cost starting from fashion till the make-up and scenes
second the directing which made this drama got injustice
i enjoyed the drama till ep 13 then the romance goes down the hill as if they forgot all about it
due to the poor production
the make-up was extremely awful showing the defects of all the actors faces
and the out scenes was really poor
and most of the actors weren't good really even the old ones
the good actors you can count down them on one hand
due to the directing
the shots and lights were really bad
and when they show a product for the sponsors during the drama the director made it in a very unprofessional way
the best role goes to kang hye joo although she had no face expression and emotionless literally
Chun Jung Myung i really love him as an actor but his role was really depressing
the director most of the time failed to deliver the right feeling
like when he should be panic when Yoon Eun Hye trapped in fire
i got the feeling that he was watching as if he is in front of tv news not having a phobia
and when he was obliged to leave her i saw him helpless instead of being sad or broken
and when he should making her feel secure he left her without a single msg to explain or secure her
and many other reaction that was really weird
all what he is doing against hye joo
just saying.... please hye joo STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING .. REALLY !!!!!!! :/
and what that end ????? PLEAAASE T_T :\
what the hell!!!
you didn't see her for a whole year how could u act as if u just saw her from 5 min. ago ?????
and what that silly , incomplete side story for yoo joon and min ah ???
really the directing was a whole rubbish >_<
due to it the drama really failed :(

The first six to seven episodes were really entertaining, and it will hook you to watch this fluffy drama, but the latter parts of the show really bore me no matter how impressive and promising the start was, and no matter how much i like the actors in this drama. It would have been better for me if they'd cut this to 10 or 12 episodes instead, because it truly felt like a forced and dry makjang drama to me by the latter parts to just add some more plot to the story.
However, I must say the actors were really good in executing their roles, the only real problem was the bad writing and story plotting for this drama. The evil character was really good at expressing and acting out her frustration. She really looked mean, it just lacked the powerful scenario. The writer decided to just remove her into the story, without a really strong exit.
I must say the casting was great, the outfits/ fashion in this drama was really good, and OSTs are very nice to listen to, that its just sad that the plot line and the story build up has gone to waste.

You know that feeling when you want to sneeze but nothing happens?......
That's exactly how it felt watching the middle to end episodes of this drama. It has a great promising start with lovely chemistry between the leads (Yoon Eun Hye never disappoints when it comes to chemistry with her co-stars) However, the show loses direction and fails to really take off.The story is all over the place in the sense that a lot of things appear to be happening but the plot really goes nowhere. Show lacks momentum and some dramatic situations which should propel the show forward are completely not followed up on and just glossed over. The male lead is most times ineffectual who for most of the story is well and truly hamstrung by the very people he vehemently denounces.
The love story is initially developed very nicely albeit haltingly in the earlier episodes. lt fizzles in the middle episodes because the lovers have little to no interaction with each other at a time that their relationship development could have benefitted from experiencing the tough times as a solid and unified pair; in fact as the story plods on the two leads spend little time together so as a viewer there are very few opportunities to actually enjoy the love story.
Episode 12 is particularly frustrating because so much could have happened but didn't.
The drama should have been shorter, then maybe it would have flowed better. The story is portrayed so inefficiently that I even entertained the thought that the main couple should not end up together.
In a nutshell this drama has an excellent cast with an inadequate script and poor directing.
Overall 6 out of 10, and only because the cast is good.

ACTUAL REVIEW starts here:
First of all the leads: She is great, will always be but this role isn t really for her. Not because she can t handle it, because she is too good for it and the role has nothing to offer. The guy? Never heard of him, so I don t really understand why is he the one acting next to Eun Hye. I don.t hate him, I found him quite cute, could have been worse. The other characters are poorly developed as well and are played by unexperienced actors (in my opinion, I might be very wrong on this one). And I don t have a problem with an actor starting out, because they need to get that experience from somewhere but there are too many new actors so the drama looks stupid.
The dialogue is really poorly structured, the story is not well thought through,I didn t even realise there was even music in the backgroud (so that sucks too).
The worst part? It is very boring. I can say I know many other stupid dramas. But none like this one. I can say You re beautiful or Secret garden which are so old and actually a little cringe to watch now are still better. And there s a gap of at least 6 years (i think) between them. Oh, and I am still excited about rewatching those two, no matter how cringey.
So yeah, even though it breaks my heart, don t watch it even if you re dying of boredom..
