Have you watched this? Do you plan to?

This was show that started my love for Kdramas! The very first I watched and then purchased. Please see the MDL link above for Synopsis, stats, reviews and recommendations. Discuss if you want to.
this is the first show i watched cuz of binnie .. i watched him in secret garden then i wanted to watch some more of him so decided to give this one a try ... out of all the shows i watched that consist of an older woman and a young man love story .. this one is my fav :) ... i have a sweet tooth :D .. so i enjoyed all the deserts and cakes ;) ...
I love this drama, all the main actors/actresses are my favorite ones! It is indeed a great drama, I recommend it to everyone who hasn't seen it yet :)

High Five! I watched this after I saw Binnie in Secret Garden too! :D
i watched the first couple of episodes of this a while back and was kinda meh about it, then 6 mos later i watched the snow queen and couldnt believe it was the same dude (oh the difference a hair cut can make) so i gave it another chance, i figured if nothing else Hyun Bin is easy on the eyes.once i got going it was pretty good.
The cover seems cute~And the plot is interesting too ^^ I will add it to my ptw list :)
This is so good. Kim Sun Ah is amazing XDD
I absolutely love this drama. It is so funny. The character of Kim Sam Soon is feisty and real and yet still vulnerable. She became prettier to me as the episodes went along and I likened that to how Jin Hun begins to fall in love with her. This remains one of my very favorite Kdramas. I think it deserves all the hype. I also wonder if I hadn't stumbled up on this drama 1st if I would have been clamoring to find more Kdramas that began my obsession.
This is one of my favorites.. which is cool, because it stars 2 of my favorite Korean actors. I love how he falls in love with her and she doesn't have to change a thing about herself. I always love shows and movies where the person is loved unconditionally. No change needed. Acceptance. Imperfection is Perfect.
i think i might have to give this a try, watched the first 10min and just stopped cuz i couldnt stand the main girl. Didnt know who Hyun Bin was during that time too D:

me too:)
This is still one of my favorite dramas & it was my first Kim Sun-Ah drama. She's one of my favorite actresses because she gets into her character for each role. She gained weight for this role; she lost weight for Scent of a Woman. The first episode set the pace for the entire drama: Sam-Soon's character was very non-traditional for a lead actress so I knew I'd enjoy watching it. Luckily, the drama's so well written that I didn't need to watch it for the 'star power' cast. I enjoyed how Jin-Heon's love for Sam-Soon developed.

I didn't like the first twenty or so minutes of this drama, but it ended up being my all time favorite. I have watched it at least 4 times :D

i watched the first two episodes and left it alone for MONTHS b/c i was just soooo embarassed for poor samsoon, but it does get MUCH better at eop 3 and beyond.
Jeanie! I just started this drama. I already want to punch her ex in the face. This seems promising.
