Very entertaining

This is a pretty entertaining drama. It's fantastic that Gong Hyo Jin and Cha Seung Won carried such chemistry despite their age difference. It shows how Gong Hyo Jin's skills and talents make her such a star, especially because her performance had to match the charisma and energy displayed by her co-star.

The story shows with just enough depth, how Ae Jung came to be in her current sad state as a B-list celebrity trying to hang on in a crushing business. And it shows the ins and outs of that business and pressure that the celebrities are under to never make a misstep and always look like they are doing well. I especially enjoyed the performance by Choi Hwa Jung as Dok Go Jin's scheming but still sensible manager.

As the story unfolds, we are treated to some fun and interesting interactions and dialogue between Go Jin and Ae Jung, and you get to see how their relationship unfolds. This is an older drama so there are more circumstantial misunderstandings than I prefer, but I forgive them because of the great story and acting. One thing I didn't enjoy as much was the second couple. They tried their best, but they didn't quite come to life for me.

In the end, this is a great light and generally fluffy rom-com showcasing the talents of Gong Hyo Jin and Cha Seung Won.
