In my three years of never-ending dramas, I have to say that this tops them all off and I fear my expectations for any future dramas will be too high. It was completely underreated when it first came out since I could tell how much potential it had considering the unbelievable chemistry between all the actors and their outstanding skills, and also the similarities (other than the actress) to City Hunter which was a big hit, like the themes. (Btw, I think that this was much better than City Hunter)
I applaud the director because even if the actors were horrible and the story was mediocre (which is far from true), the directing would have made the show at least half decent.
The story is perfectly put together, and I especially like the lack of the most frustrating k-drama clichés, mainly the lack of understandings in the love-line. I have never found a more perfect couple who are not in any way generic of k-drama. Their individual personalities are perfect and quirky whereas usually there tends to be a more passive character. Their chemistry was off the scales and as much as you want to cringe at how adorable they are, it seems too genuine and honest. The romance isn't over-whelming and the non-romantic, platonic and familial relationships are just as beautiful. The psychological aspect of the story is also very well executed in the bad characters and plot.
The OST through is brilliant and you'll find yourself falling in love with it and getting excited for scenes when it plays, rather than the usual annoying OSTs that you just want to stop. (e.g. LOVE IS THE MOMMEEENNNTTT)
Overall, I wish I could give this over 10 and I 4982787854294758268% recommend that you watch it.
