Old-School Entertainment at its Finest
I originally rated this an 8, but this is also the first drama that I have not rated a 10 that I chose to re-watch so I figured I should up the score a bit.
The quality of the production and acting in this drama is there to remind us of how far the industry has come over the years as the lighting is awful, most of the acting is mediocre and the characters are very stereotypical but oh do I love this.
I admit it i am a sucker for dramas where the OST is part of the plot and preformed by the leads, repetitive with slight variation as it may be it just hits differently than when it is simply part of the background and yes I fall for it every time!
Our male lead is a total jerk goes softie, he has a bunch if flags and pretty much makes every single wrong choice in the book of cliches. He is so far from being boyfriend material (handsome and talented as he may be) and the relationship is rather a manual to how not to behave in a relationship. He completely lacks verbal communication-skills and rater use wrist grab as his got to form of communication. The guy also seems to have some kind of ankle obsession, as all a girl has to do is twist her ankle and he will fall for her every time. But I love it, I really do!
The female lead is short tempered, childish, stubborn, and kind of pathetic at times. She is however still lovable, pretty and talented she has great friends and does have a way with words as well as the language of falling on to the lead.
I did not notice them the first time (as I was new to dramaland) but Im Se Mi and Kang Min Hyuk are also in this drama, and while their characters where ill fitted for them they did shine and annoy at the same time I honestly think I developed a love-hate relationship to those two.
So if you are in the mood for some old-school drama with a bunch of old-school cliches and a lot of fun music this is one of THE best places to find it. It will not blow your mind but it is sure to keep you entertained.
If you are looking for good quality stuff, with green flag leads etc... then this is not the place to find it.
