This is the first K-Drama that I've completed that I wish I would've skipped. I was tempted to stop watching after the first few episodes, mainly because of the annoying main character, but I listened to posts that claimed that it would eventually get much better. Though the story started to unfold into a somewhat interesting revenge mystery, the main character's actions continued to annoy me up until episode 15. Her transformation took too long for me, and I had no sympathy for her at all, even in the fat suit.
I watched this drama without any excitement, sometimes taking two days to watch one episode, and it was a struggle to complete all 16 episodes. The only entertaining thing about this drama was Park Shi Hoo, who played charming and mysterious very well. Once he left the screen, I was no longer interested in what was happening. Some of the supporting cast were decent, but the 2nd male romantic lead was a complete bore. Eventually a secondary romance started to unfold, and it was extremely hard not to fast forward through their scenes. They should have made the drama shorter instead.
I gave the music a low score, because I often found it distracting, and at times out of place. During a somber moment, having someone belt out "GoodBYEEEE my princess", or listening to the korean version of "oops, i did it again", didn't really work for me.
The few cute romantic scenes, and a decent mystery, couldn't make up for a hard to root for main character in my opinion. Maybe I would have liked it better with a different lead actress. Overall, I did like the way the drama ended, but I was more relieved that it was finally over.
