I’ve heard about this drama last year,but when i looked at the drama’s poster, I didn’t get the urge to watch it even though I love SeungGi so much. but then, last week a close friend told me that i should watch the drama since it’s not that bad..so i gave it a shot..and i was shocked!! the drama is actually very good!! i never ever thought that SeungGi had improved so much in acting! & the ‘EunSung’ girl, she is a great actor! i love the drama——> i recommended it to everyone!!

Heard many people say this is a good drama, but I’ll pass.
I like Seung Gi, but I just don’t see him as a main character in a drama, much less, a romantic one.
I don’t feel he’s leading man material.
I just can’t get excited about a drama wherein he’s the it guy!
I think he’s more suited to sing than act.

Nice story to the drama, it made me cry at times…but it was good.

I felt that Jun Se is too good a person and didn’t like the choice Eun Sung made eventually. It just doesn’t seems logical.
Though this drama is quite good, I was expecting a much better drama since it has such high ratings..I have definitely seen much better korean dramas than this..Felt that it’s alittle overrated..Perhaps it’s alittle too long already..With 28 episodes after all..

This is the BEST Korean Drama i have seen so far. If there is anything better please do let us know.. very cool drama..!
March 7th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
i don’t know how the ratings got so high up. i don’t like this drama all that much, though i bear to watch it.
it was more to a boring story line. the story got dragged way too long… not so inspiring. it ended how everything should be placed that way at the beginning.
no matter how good its a drama, im sure there will be ppl who don’t like it still, like me.
every drama is worth watching because the hard work the crews put in.
March 6th, 2010 at 8:28 am
I like this Drama.
I love you Lee seung ki
March 5th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
i found first 5 episodes a bit boring but after it become addictive.good story!!!
February 27th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
I found this drama extremely drawn out, boring and overracted, however I liked the two leads, just that the script was terrible, the supporting cast were overacting in the extrene. I found myself fast forwarding through the last 8 – 10 episodes.
