I've watched similar type of dramas before where the main girl character disguises herself as a guy. And I got to say, this acting was probably the most believable so far. I mean let's admit it, in real life probably one could tell that she is a girl, but for the fun of it we just have to go along with the play. It is sort of bothering though when it's way too obvious, but here it wasn't really. It's very admirable that it was the best girl pretending to be a guy acting I've seen in a drama. She was tough, strong, hard-working, and never got into comedic, overacted situations like entering the men's room while other guys were using it and freaking out or stuff like that. So I really liked both how the character was written and the acting.

Another very strong point is how this show even though it's kinda cheesy, it's NOT AT ALL cheesy as other shows, and NOT overacted. I'm not against "cheese" of course, (or I wouldn't watch these shows) but I gotta say it was very nice to watch something like this and not getting sidetracked by how awkward a scene is with all the cutesy effects and so on. Of course it has your average misunderstandings from time to time, but not too much.

The most precious thing about it in my opinion is how the romantic scenes are acted out. It's so well made! It's not parodic, it's not super cheesy, no sound effects or silly camerawork, tasteless music and so on... It's so PURE. I can't be sure but I'd guess some of the scenes are actually the results of accidents and improvisations, and how the actors go with the flow is just amazing to watch. There are so many little details they do, which are so personal, playful, and amazingly cute, and those are being acted out with such genuine, lovable feelings.

If you are like me who loves to watch sweet couple moments with a little bit of drama going on, I really recommend it!
