This is the first K-Drama I ever watched, I never expected to like it as much as I did. It's so different from a lot of stuff i've seen in the U.S. I was so happy to find a K-Drama section on Hulu (sorry if you don't live in the U.S. or Japan, Hulu really is awesome). The acting and storyline in this is awesome! Again, as some other people have pointed out, it can be a little far fetched at times but hey that's the point of watching a show right? If you're on a break from school or something or have a good amount of free time, definitely go for it. I'd also say it's a good stepping-off point drama for friends that you're trying to get into it (along with Boys over Flowers...either one)

I was initially intrigued because of the actors in this drama. I really liked it, but like many others have said it did seem to drag at parts and probably could have done better in 16 or 17 episodes rather than 20. I also felt like it was REALLY cheesy at some points, as in I thought to myself "Okay, this would never happen in real life, but I will accept it for the purpose of it moving the plot along of the show." I guess that's why it's called a "melodrama" though.

On a more positive note, this has probably one of the better OST music I have heard in the few dramas I have watched! It's played a little too much, but I guess that is to be expected when it is so short overall. I also think there may have been some cultural things I missed as well. It must be a "taboo" to like someone who **might** (not spoiling), become your step-sibling even though you're not blood related? I don't know, it just kind of aggravated me because to me I saw nothing innately wrong with it, and that seemed to be like 90% of the problems our 2012 characters have.

Finally, the acting was great though! Yoona and JKS were so cute together at certain points! I would love to watch another drama with them acting together. I do feel like they could have done more of development with the 2012 charters (Joon and Ha Na) though. It felt like less of a romantic relationship in reality where you get to know each other for a while, but instead in this there is a kind of of "instantly falling for someone" thing going on. In any case, I am a just a sucker for a good story and I enjoyed it for a bit of a mental break while I was on a break from school! :) Enjoy!
