Such a load of laughs even when I re-watched. What makes this drama is really Anne's interpretation of the character Alin. Under an inferior actress, Alin would have come across as spoiled and annoyed but Anne made Alin a charming character who was hilariously vain as well as a feisty princess who could rescue herself. Alin had some of the funniest one liners and approach to any situation. How can you not laugh when Alin moans about her age and not having a scandal when younger actresses have divorced and moved on to another affair?
Under an inferior actor, the character of Din would have been a shadow in comparison to Alin but Ken brought a sweetness along with a vulnerability. We see a sweet man who is passionate and driven as a chef but struggles with feeling like he is not enough because of his background. It is fun to see him both charmed by Alin and taking a strong hand while dealing with her tantrums. While soft spoken, he cannot be pushed by Alin's tantrums and is the perfect foil for her flightiness. He grounds her while she makes him laugh despite himself.
The love story happens in small steps as they get to know each other and it is both funny and sweet on how they learn to appreciate each other. What I really enjoyed is the idea of love vs perfection. Do you love someone who is perfect? Or someone who is imperfect but becomes perfect for you as you love them? What happens to your wish list when you find the perfect person is not that perfect at all? What happens to your wish list when a good man doesn't quite fit your requirements? The drama stands out as it explores these real life questions in a fun, quirky manner. A hilarious gem!
