you get to see Noh Min Woo shirtless
I almost stopped watching this show at the first episode but Noh Min Woo is eye candy so I continued. The show starts out antagonistic and remains that way to the end. We know that the FL is supposed to see through the ML's personality and see the heart inside. Honestly I don't think they had enough of those moments. Her bond with the SML was much stronger. If the SML didn't look scarily like my younger brother then I would have rooted for him.
I could connect with the ML's loneliness and the personality he presented to keep himself from being hurt but that he didn't let go of the connection he had before he thought the SML had betrayed their friendship. I think the mending of their relationship was far more powerful than the relationship between the ML and the FL. This alone made sitting through all the episodes worth it.
And of course the number of times we go to see NMW shirtless.
What didn't work...
1. Hair
a. the times they straightened the ML's hair or styled it back was just awful
b. the FML's hair was awful until they straightened it
2. The fashion
a. ML - perhaps just a tiny but stuffy but there was nothing wrong with how he dressed
b. FL - dressed like an old woman through most of the show
c. SML - his outfits were mostly horrible
3. The SML's airbrushed abs. Thankfully that pain is over in the flash
4. The SML's illness
[spoiler] I thought it was odd that getting glass in his eye as a kid would cause degenerative nerve damage to his eyes. Then they fixed it with a cornea transplant. I'm not a medical professional and even I can tell that this isn't even a possibility. If the nerves are damaged then replacing the cornea isn't going to fix that. If it was a cornea problem then he should have had the issue with his sight being very bad since childhood. If it was the injury from childhood then the loss of sight should have only affected the eye that was injured. It would have been better to have him loose his sight from a degenerative issue and have him perform blind.[/spoiler]
Over all if you have the time, watch it
