It seems to be typical for me that a lot of my favorite dramas end up being ones where the tv ratings aren't that good, and this is no exception. My main reason for wanting to watch this was for Lee Min Jung, but I was really skeptical due to the political backdrop of the drama. I am someone who personally hates politics and everything about it. The first two episodes was kind of tough for me as it set the show up for that backdrop. After that though, it really was never a problem anymore. Mainly due to the characters being fun, and the romantic story being really good. Most dramas have your typical things that bug me and make me roll my eyes. I'm sick of drama characters that make stupid decisions and have characters that are so profoundly stupid that make you facepalm yourself at least a couple times every episode. This one had none of that for me, and thats what makes dramas like this extremely well written. That they can throw away those lame tv tropes of naive females. Yes, there may have been one instance or so of her questioning herself whether she really likes the person or not, in which I always find silly, but it was probably only once and it wasn't done in an annoying fashion. For the most part though, whenever I expect a scene to take a turn for the dumb, it surprises me by not doing so. It's a well put together drama, with not too much of your typical drama cliches. The only big one being the whole falling away from and then back together thing during the last episode, as I've seen that in just about every drama, but it wasn't enough to annoy me. Overall I found the drama to be quite superb, very well handled and written. The characters were fun, sweet, and the cast was great. The romance of the story is very well handled and the two have great chemistry. Seriously, aren't you sick of all the dramas where they only kiss like once? Yeah, well they don't shy away from that nonsense here, as they make it feel like a real adult relationship....well at least without the xxx. It's just a sweet and romantic and fun drama. Seriously, don't let the politics keep you away. You get used to it as it goes and it doesn't focus on it all that much. There may not be anything especially unique about this drama, but it doesn't need it as its just good as it is.
