A surprise find and goes on my recommeded list.

I am surprised that this drama has such a low rating. If you are looking for a comedy / romance, then this one should be on your watch list!! I gave it a 9 in spite of my dislike about the ending. I would have given this drama 9.5 if the ending did not frustrate me. I reserve 10 for those dramas that are unusual and have a powerful message about main character's transformation.

I was hesitant to watch 22 hours but the 22 hours felt like a normal 16 hours of drama. The writer kept the situational humor alive through out every episodes and kept me entertained. Nothing was off limits. For example, Seon Joo & Sae Do's baby not being pretty enough and being mistaken for a male child.

I was also pleasantly surprised that back in 2007 the writer broke the norm by having a story dealing with co-habitation and sex.

I highly recommend this drama but I was disappointed by the last episode and the ending.

Spoiler Alert!!
We all expect and know that the main couple will end up together and it is a usual pattern in Kdramas that there will be breakup just before that last episode. This drama did not disappoint us in that regard. However, I was very disappointed in Dal Ja's character and that made me angry as a viewer. By the end of this drama both my partner & I really didn't care if they got back together again.
Dal Ja's primary reason for breaking up was that she wasn't confident that Tae Bong really loved her. He does profess his love for her and she seemed to be too self absorbed to not to "keep in touch" for two years. When she does come back to Korea and makes no effort to get in touch with him. If I was in his shoes, I don't think I would want to get involved for such a high maintenance girl!!

Other than my frustration with the ending, I highly recommend this drama and give a shout out to Chae Rim for really doing such a fantastic job. She really carried the drama with her facial expressions. I would loved to see more of her newer dramas but I don't think she is acting any more.

Good job every one!!
