I just discovered this show this past week and watched all 20 episodes via Netflix. It was SO good and I am sad to see that there is not a second season. Oh, I would love it if you did film another season … this show is so good and one just can’t help but fall in love with the characters. I am ready to start all over again and watch season one from the beginning. I agree with a previous poster – MORE PASTA, PLEASE!!!!

hey, im trying to find the song. i don’t know the name. it always comes on at the sad scene, it starts with “nananana”. do you know that song? in episode 13 -when San (the CEO) left the note for Seo Yong Kyung to meet him at the grocery shop and when she was waiting for him, the song came on. and again at when San went to his sister asking whether if she prefers a man who likes her secretly. Please i cant find it anywhere. please reply. thank you

I’ve watched a lot of Korean shows but this is still my favorite one. It’s realistic, sweet, real. Great actors, great characters. I wish there were more dramas like this one. A must watch!

its just a bad story i saw it 4ever and ever
and in my life !!!!!!!!!!
i hate you all !!

i just finnish watching this series!! at first, i didnt put high expectation in this one, and just watching it because i just had that DVD in my house n im kinda very bored so i decided watching this. But, i was false to under estimate it, it’s got an interesting story, and not boring at all. i enjoy watching this from the beggining until the last ep. Always there is problem to solve in this drama, after one problem has solved, always come out with other problem. But it makes the movie getting more interesting.. ^^ Great!! also, Yu Kyung and Hyun Wook look cute together.. So lovely
