Nana’s so good in the opening episode. Great to see her playing a different type of character, and not the usual dark tough types. A refreshing change

32 episodes?? I would of thought it be the usual 16 eps not that I’m complaining tho lol

What a pity. Looks like another hit-and-miss kbs drama. The winner of some script writing competition but something’s seriously off about it, aside from the fact that it feels copied. Really a waste when u have such good leads and the sets look just magical.

@OK OK OK, me too. Park Sung Hoon in Psychopath Diary’s really cool although he’s the villain.
So far, i like this drama, i’m waiting for it patiently every week.

@ErinJMC – Ummm, you do know that the Korean broadcast stations split the 1 hour episodes into two half hour episodes in order to show more commercials. Two half hour episodes are broadcast back to back on the same night. So actually you only get 16 one hour episodes. Enjoy.

amazing acting by Nana kudos dear!!

This is a sweet drama. I like it.
Seo Kong Myung is sweet and cute. He’s so tolerant of jumping beans, Go Se Ra.
GSR’s motto must be – ” If you cant convince them, confuse them !! “
