this is a brilliant drama, the brilliance of the directing and writing r what made it the best of course along with the acting and the music to be fare every thing else was just amazing.
the different between a good drama and a brilliant drama is that the first one you just enjoy watching it and once it is finished you look for the next one but the second one "the brilliant drama" makes you live through it, you feel, cry, suffer, and laugh with it. In this drama you feel you are each character in it.
i also liked how the characters grow up and changed throughout the story.
it deserve to be watched more than 3 times at least.

Let’s start by put this drama in its right genre which is light melodrama (whatever that means) but it’s applicable I think. And also its right preview. It is about a very beautiful man loved and cherished by every woman who meets him starting from his mother. And the impact he received and gave to those women through his journey to find his parentage secret and his maturity.
The story is interesting and was written will. you would think it is a cliché, but every time you predict something it doesn’t happened as the way you predicted. It wasn’t full of surprises but as I said it just isn’t a cliché.
Mate’s character isn’t complicated and in this kind of story far from cliché, he was pretty but not a playboy even innocent somehow, he care for women but not actively like or persuade women. He uses them but not in dishonest or a canny way, he is very honest but not from integrity prospect but it is because he is childishly innocent.
JGS was a perfect choice for this role. he shows the scaling of Mate’s matureness with more mature acting throughout the drama. he was brilliant in most of the drama specially the emotional scenes which were acted in low-keyed and very mature performance. But in some scenes his acting was too low-keyed that you’d think he is one of the extra (harsh, I know but that is because I admire and expect too much from him). I just love his deep voice. wasn’t a fan of the hair changing, it was confusing.
As for Bo Tong’s character, it was refreshingly written and vividly acted. I know that not everything new has to be good, but this character was refreshingly new in a very good way. She is simple but not childish as she seams. She is even more mature than Mate’. She loves him and worship him but she understand him like no other and know his faults and tell him the truth without mincing her words and at the same time let him lei to save fac. The chemistry between the characters (not as much between the actors) is so strong and healthy. IU’s acting was excellent.
David’s character is more mature, charming and kind than Mate’s. but I appreciate that the writer didn’t play the inevitable love triangle that is in every drama, there was one of course but it wasn’t the lead of the events. The actor was good but I did not liked him much maybe because of his silly laugh!!!
And the best actress prize of all (Mommie Dearest) character goes to Kim Bo Yun. What a classy evil, and what a superb performance. The actress and the character gave the drama classiness and depth.
This is not a Cinderella story, it is not even a romance, but a drama that got romance and is funny but not to the extent to became a comedy and it isn’t also a mystery or a thriller. But it has all of that which make it more simple and more entertaining.

Overrated and disappointing big time.
i wonder if it is because it is overrated?? what if it was done with a less famous actors?? or did not get this much publicity??
i think it will still be disappointing and mediocre drama.
there was no story no plot no real conflict, and the love story wasn't convincing and it felt kind of forced on us.
the male cast wear toooo much makeup and the hairdos weren't helping especially Won's.
i hope Lee Min Ho wash his face and fire his manager and stylist.

you can't watch Korean drama without watching this drama first. it will make you a fan of the Korean drama. it is far from perfect but who need perfection when there is that much fun. i watched much more perfect and excellent drama but this one has its own secrete that makes you want to re-watched over and over again. no drama no mutter what i wanted to re-watched like this drama.

the story was repeated and a little extreme cause for revenge.
the acting was v. good. it was my first time to watch Rain, and he is really a V. good actor if somewhat exaggerating specially in the beginning.
the female lead Shin Min was even better.
one of the things that i really liked in this drama is that the character of the female lead was really lovable. you can easily believe why all those 3 men loved her. which is something rare in dramas.
but what i really hated about it is that they never give the character of the male lead a break. not even in one scene!! if you are going for a sad end make it a little cheerful through out the drama or lighten things up and give the leads a break. but if it is gonna be a crying drama give us the viewer a break and make it a happy ending :(
it is an emotional and sad drama but i liked it and i don't want to watch it again unless someone tells me that i get it wrong and it was a happy ending.
another thing i really loved about this drama beside the sad love story is The MUSIC, it was great.
