I watched this drama on a whim when it was recommended to me so I didn't really anticipate much on what it would be like. It absolutely had me hooked by the end of the first episode though which I did not expect. It seems a bit cheesy at first so if you like dramas that have a bit of a campy humor side to them to balance the angst then this is a good match for you.

Throughout watching the series I found myself literally laughing out loud, yelling at my tv, and basically all the other ridiculous reactions that happen when a story really grabs you. There's also a fantastic level of appreciation for the characters that you often don't see in gender bending dramas. By this I mean that the lead female isn't berated for being male presenting and even when she often says she is much more comfortable like that there are a variety of other characters that support her to overwhelm the few who judge her on it. I found myself extremely pleased by the love and support in the dialogue as well for same sex couples it was truly treated in a respectful and amazing way and not looked down on.

I only docked points on the acting because like I said at the beginning it can be a little too cheesy dramatic like you see in a lot of older dramas where it's a bit like soap opera acting at times but it's still so fun and so good of a story that the acting even still fits it. Overall I would recommend this drama to anyone who loves gender benders or just light romance stories in general. In fact I even got a friend to watch it right after I finished it and she was head over heels for it as well. If you're considering watching it or you've got it on a 'maybe' list then go ahead and take the dive it's a good one!
