From Episodes 1 through 12, I had thought I had found the perfect drama: chemistry between the main characters, an endearing cast, not too many heart-wrenching/ head-banging/ IHATETHISIHATETHISIHATETHIS moments and a great soundtrack. After those episodes, however, I felt that what pulled me to the drama grew weaker and weaker. The conflicts that arose were quickly resolved in the following scene; thus, the sweet moments were not as refreshing as they are in dramas where the characters have overcome a lot more.



Despite the slightly pallid storyline, the cast played their characters in the best way they could. Lee Gyu Won (Park Shin Hye) was an endearing but not over-the-top female lead that I feel most girls could relate to. Lee Shin (Jung Yong Hwa) was the same way. Their chemistry is unmistakable. The supporting cast was also very good. I just feel that if the storyline had been a bit better, more of the supporting characters could be explored and they would seem less one-dimensional.



As for the music-- I can't get it out of my head. The song choices are great and the cast is very musically talented.



I would rewatch this drama simply for the cute moments. Sadly, though, I can't say that it pulled very hard on my heartstrings (excuse the pun; I couldn't help it). Sweet moments are made sweeter when a long and difficult conflict had come before them.
