Such a cute couple, but...

The main couple was wonderful. Theirs was a healthy, loving and supportive relationship. Things got a little hazy midway through - she got an apartment for him, was she staying there too? (after saying she wasn't ready to be with him in a physical way). I really loved the progression of the relationship and some of the friendships.

I have to say that her cousin needed to be run over by a truck or something. He was beyond irritating throughout most of the show and a girl blindly liking a total mean guy just never makes any sense to me. There was also the obligatory "you're not good enough for him" wanna be girlfriend as well as "I can take care of her better than you" wanna be boyfriend. That cliche gets really tiresome. And some of the secondary characters were seriously overacting. And the dubbing was somewhat problematic - most of the girls sounded the same.

I had to rate down based on the other cliches of the evil mother and the two year separation. This story arc really bothered me on so many levels. She stood by her man up until this point and then was leaving without letting him know?!?! So immature and it wasn't true to their relationship up to that point. It would have been so much better had the mom said at the airport that she had changed her mind and the daughter didn't have to go. And why leave for two years to "study" when you are part owner of a company?!

All that said, the ML and FL were both wonderful, him especially. When he looked at her...oh my. And can I just say a big THANK YOU for giving us a wedding at the end?
