I always loved Son Ye Jin n i’ll always be, her acting skills are commendable specially as da weird looking Gae In, wid big glasses on. Am still not done wid da scene where she kneels down, raises her hands n closes her eyes in front of Min Ho which makes him smile even though he is angry wid her, been watchin it again n again n each time i watch it, it brings a smile on ma face, too. She looked sooooo cute. Min Ho, impressed wid his act in this series, i liked Ji Ho rather then Jun Pyo but still he’s da best. Inspite of da age difference, they real made a cute-loving-couple. One ultimate word AWESOME. N guys pls……….. STOP crticizing Her i can’t take it. Will be expecting some more of Son Ye Jin.

I dont know why the rank of this drama was average. it was an excellent drama. the conflict, the story and the actress actors were excellent. I put this drama as #1 in my own list. Lee Min Ho played very good. He can change the character from the young boy Goo Joon Pyo (Boys Before Flowers) to the mature guy Jeon Jin Ho perfectly

I’ve watched it for 10 times. Really-really loved it

the 1st episode remind me of 1999 US movie ‘Three to Tango’. Matthew Perry (Friends) is a heterosexual, neat freak who owned architect firm with gay Oliver Platt (3 Musketeer). They compete for a big project from a company owned by Dylan McDermott (the Practice) who though Matthew is gay too. Dylan ask Matthew to ‘spy’ on his mistress Neve Campbell (Scream) an artist who work with glass. Matthew & Neve met, they ‘click’ really well even though Neve later found out he’s a spy and ‘gay’. Matthew fall for her and have to decide : confess his love or lost the project.

I totally fell in love with this drama! I believe it had a good story behind it and the acting was just outstanding! The lead actors look great together and they have a good chemistry. There were times I laughed with tears but also times when I had a heavy heart. Really good drama! 100% recommended ^-^

i got bored with this drama. it started so funny and enjoyable but after maybe 40% of the whole series it crashed. boring! it became a melodrama for goodness sake! it didnt live to its description as romantic comedy to the end.

This is an excellent drama with a strong and emotional story line. The low rating is misleading.
Son Ye Jin and Lee Min Ho are great actors. Lee Min Ho rises to the challenge of protraying a mature guy in Personal Taste, a year after his role as the boy Goo Joon Pyo in Boys Before Flowers. He’s a very gifted actor despite his young age. It demonstrates his versatility in different roles. He’s an action man in the currently showing City Hunter.
Son Ye Jin is a great actress.
