Ok so...full discloser I think Jang Hyuk is one of the best Korean actors that ever lived and I like him in every single thing he's ever been in. I also came into this show fresh off watching A Beautiful Mind, Shine or Go Crazy, and Tell Me What You Saw...specifically because I wanted to watch literally everything with Jang Hyuk in it. So I was definitely jaded from the start. It's also definitely not a genre I typically enjoy or seek out...boring romance dramas...meh. So my review is super super one-sided and unfair. I'm 100% aware of that.

Basically, I hated this show. I hated that the lead actress ended up with the shallow young pretty boy instead of the much more interesting and (in my opinion) attractive secondary male lead (Jang Hyuk). I was super mad at her for making such a shallow and uninteresting love choice. She was a decently written character with a decent amount of depth and she went for the eye candy. The eye candy lead actor's character was so lame and shallow and undeveloped. He's basically this crybaby brat who in other dramas would easily have been the failed third point of the typical love triangle. He's basically the guy who's around usually to show you what a great and desirable person the lead is. I hated this character. The actor is fine in other dramas, but this character in this drama was literal trash.

Almost certainly I would have had a different opinion about this drama if the lead actress' character wasn't such a predictable boy-toy chasing idiot (aka if she had fallen for the bad boy gangster (Jang Hyuk) instead. But as it stands, it was a STRUGGLE to get through this entire thing and I hated every minute of it beyond episode 3 or 4. I would literally never watch this again.
