i have finished watching this and i really like it ! bravo to Jang Na Ra and Choi Daniel and the rest of the cast and crew and of course the writer and director. the way Jin wook looks so happy and pleased when Seo Young calls him her boyfriend or her husband, and the way she delivers it, as well as how she tries to make him happy also the way he makes her happy, doing and saying all those little things (this little thing called L-O-V-E) – all so, soooo sweet and romantic – kind of pure and original, a bit childish perhaps for some but to me it is just pure sweet romance, not tarnished by anything unpure. and to me the dialogues are also interesting, like when Jin wook calls/said to Seo young : are you an ant? because she seems to want to work all the time ( a dilligent ant huh? hehe) including at home when she wanted to buy a sewing machine when they were getting married.. and many other dialogues…
just… NICE ! keep up.

i hated the fact that her love for hi was so weak … he was always the one fighting for them … so annoying … and the white dress was better than the black one .. the other woman cloths were better…..

I have to say that this is a really wonderful drama that is worth watching. At first, the story nor the characters appealed to me but after watching a few more episodes,I’ve grown to enjoy and love this drama.Choi Jin Wook may appear as a very childish and rude man in the first few episodes but he is actually a very sweet man who would do all he can for So Young.Also,Lee So Young may appear as a character who lacks brains but as you watch the series you will find her as a genius and creative designer.Her ways of getting ideas out of nowhere really surprised me. =D

I didn’t know that teacher Jung was from Baby Face Beauty. A beauty she is not. She looks more like a mouse.

What is this that mothers tell the school what to do? Does this happen in Korea? Those two mothers in episode 8, I want to punch them in the face. Min Ki’s mom is a total, total bitch. How does she get away with that??
