"No drama" Dramas are very hard to do right - they tend to come across as boring. This one really showed how to meet the challenge. It was a simple, sweet story full of fun and light, with almost no angst at all. What made it work was the casting and the acting. The two leads especially really sold me on the story, and I lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud, then gushed "awww" at the sweetness.
The only reason I 'downgraded' this fine Drama to 8.5 is that it was a little too long. had it been somewhere between 25-30 episodes, I feel certain I would have given it a 10. As it is, it's still the second highest score I've given to any C Drama, and only the second to go over 7.5. A refreshing change from the current Korean obsession with the supernatural, psychopaths and serial killers - often all together. This one was an almost perfect confection.
