To be honest, I wasn't expecting much of this drama, at all. The casting however was SUPERB. I love Kim Tae-hee and hope to see her in many more movies like this. Song Seung-heon was brilliant, played his part magnificently.
The whole plot was done well, and the characters were all played to perfection. I did find it very comedic and light hearted, the scripting did a very good job in keeping the majority of it light and fun.
The two major flaws in this drama were the pacing and the music, I feel. The pacing was great at the beginning and brilliant at the end, but the middle got a little jumbled, and if I'm honest, boring. Others have commented on it so I know I'm not alone when thinking this. The scripting just seemed to run away with itself and so it really got so boring to the point I was tempted to skip episodes.
The music was all off, for some strange reason sometimes the music would overpower the dialogue, or the music seemed to be playing in the wrong part, sad parts accompanied by happy music. Being a music lover, this just sounded very wrong.
On the whole, definitely a drama I'd recommend watching if you can stick through the boring parts to get a brilliant ending. You won't be disappointed!
