Surprisingly good

I know there is controversy surrounding the male lead however the plot was enticing and I don't regret watching it.

Both the female and male leads did a wonderful job with their potrayals. Lee Seo Won did well with the contrasting characters of Ji Sul Woo and his doppelganger, Yoon Dong Joon. Though it would be more realistic if his issues were more to do with dealing with the negative side of fame which was also brought up rather than merely hating the way he looks. I am glad I watched this series because Han Seung Yeon tugged at my heart strings with her character, Baek Se. The moment where she talks to her friend made me well up. Beautifully portrayed moments.

Since Dong Jong was made to play the part of the romance star, Ji Sul Woo, lots of light hearted moments came from reenacting famous romance scenes. Though there are no laugh out loud moments, it's still entertaining. Two 1 hour episodes makes it an easy watch and the story ending was well done.

It's unfortunate that Lee Seo Won misbehaved and threatened a female. He seems to be a good actor. It just goes to show that just because someone is talented, they may not be a good person and as the audience we only see their onscreen persona and the side they want us to see. Nonetheless, my rating is based on the story and the combined effort of all the actors and the work put in. Their efforts and talent should be recognised and should not have to suffer in the process for someone else's actions.
