Review by Me: Amazing, heartwarming and hilarious drama. The plot successfully transitions from comedy to tragedy in mere seconds. Ji Sung's acting... WOW! Ji Sung was absolutely amazing in this drama. He plays a Chaebol with 7 different personalities, and his transitions were so real, that each of the seven personalities seem like entirely different people. I really miss all of the characters .
