I honestly don't know how I finished this series. I think I forced myself to watch it because it had good reviews. I was so bored. I came to watch it with high expectations because it was considered a staple of the drama industry. I was utterly disappointed. I think the high reviews meant that it was a good drama for its TIME. Meaning that the industry has drastically evolved and improved since then. I can see that it probably set the standards for future dramas. The typical setting of a nice house. Forcing the main leads to live together while they bicker and banter. One is poor and one is rich. Another side couple with issues. The unnecessary overacting. No passion or lack of any skinship. It has all the clichés of the drama industry and is probably the drama that started it all. Now I respect those of the older generation who love it and thought it was great. But that is kind of my point - that it was a good drama of its time. Those like me who have watched better newer ones will probably agree that in today's time it lacks depth, characterization, passionate acting, and is riddled with clichés. Rain's performance was definitely better (by not much) than Song's - whose only trait that I found entertaining was her beauty. It had so much potential - I mean how many of you out there have fantasized about somehow living with a famous idol/singer?!? Not my cup of tea.
