Underrated, a good piece of romantic fluff.
True disclosure: I adore Lee Min Ki and would happily watch him butter toast for 16 episodes. I just wish he got better dramas these days.
The plot here is totally idiotic. I was taught that to enjoy fiction you needed a "willing suspension of disbelief." Well, suspend everything, because the story line is lame lame lame. If you can expect nothing from the story line, you might enjoy this. The acting is very good. The drama is full of interesting characters and side romances that are well acted and rather engaging. Somewhere in the middle, I started to realize that the writing of the main plot was really too stupid for words, but Lee Min Ki and the other very good performances kept me watching.
It's hard to review a drama in which everything EXCEPT the main plot is very good. But that's this drama. If you are looking for an undemanding bit of romantic fluff, you might enjoy it. In addition to the Eye Candy of Lee Min Ki, there's Kang Min-Hyuk who just seems to get cuter and cuter, and, for me - a die-hard classic Korean Rock fan, there was Kim Chang-Wan. What's not to love? Well, other than the pointless plot.
