There are quite a lot of reviews on this drama, but I was amazed that it got such a high rating. That was one of the things that made me watch it, but in the end it was just a waste of time. The drama turned out to be a complete disappointment to me, and unfortunately I can find only one positive thing about it: it has come to an end TG.
The story is far from original, but good classics can shine anew if put into the right light. That's not the case here. The plot is dragging like a snail through all 16 series, becoming just a little bit more lively in the 15th episode. The girl makes big eyes for the boy she likes, he insults her, he is rude to her, but all she does - follows him clumsily stumbling on every step and talking like a 5-year old. Oh, yeah, she cries a lot too.
The acting is terrible. I don't think I can remember anything so disgusting as the acting of the main leads. It is even more amazing, because I saw Park Shin Hye in many other dramas and know that she is a very decent actress. The male always showing strange grimaces when talking to the girl he likes and all other people around him, talks to himself a lot asking various rhetorical questions or elaborating what he thought at this or that point. The same goes for the heroine. The heroine is just so week-headed and feeble-minded that I'm not sure whether I was more anoyed by her, or pitied her. Jeremy was a bit off sometimes, but he at least can be taken for a lively character. Shin-woo was the best among them to my mind.
The only not so bad thing here was music, but to my taste there was not enough variety, so the main song became threadbare by the end of the drama.
All in all the drama has 0 rewatch value to me. The Japanese version is so much better, though it also has its negative sides. I would not recommend it to anyone who likes logical and thought-out relationships and deeds, deep emotions without trickly sentiments, an interesting male lead or a decent heroine who has at least a little bit of her own judgement.
