ooo stil one n spec episode for this…hope can see min suk become real director in office ;))..happy end from this couple plz…

Am I the only one who doesn’t like Lee Hana/Jung Soo Young here? She’s sooo not charismatic at all and such a pushover. Her posture is bad and her goofiness makes it irritating and undeserving of SIG. >:( I also pity Lee Soo Hyuk’s character. He does try very hard but everyone around him seems to bad to him.
August 7th, 2014 at 2:55 pm
I love seo in guk acting…multi talented actor singer..
August 7th, 2014 at 6:51 pm
I beg to disagree that Lee Ha Na the actress is such a fine and sweet lady/singer/actress and if many find her character here in KHS irritating it means that she portrays her role perfectly. And her chemistry with SIG is really something… their characters compliments each other very well, and i will really miss them after this series. hope they can work again together.
and to Soe In Guk You are the best!!!

Well her acting is superb. I don’t like the character she portrays, not the actress herself.
August 8th, 2014 at 1:29 pm
I want more Yoo-ah and Tae-suk kkk, they are so adorable together xD
August 8th, 2014 at 6:31 pm
@ mistygirl
I beg to differ too. I love Soo Young’s character. She’s such a breath of fresh air! It’s precisely her quirkiness, goofiness and slight awkwardness that makes her so special. What I like is she’s all that without being cloyingly sweet, cutesy and all . She’s also pretty yet she’s hardly aware of it and doesn’t use it or play it up to her advantage. She’s thoughtful, conscientious, environmentally conscious and kind to boot! As a girl, I would love to have a friend like her! And if I’m a guy, I’d be totally smitten!!! She’s such a gem!!!

Please share episode 17. I want to see how the story end. I enjoyed watching the drama. Love the story. Seo In Guk is lovable. Thanks.

@stellar
Agree with you more than 100%. There are people who understand about Soo Young character thank you. You are right stellar, Soo Young is very different than many main female character in korean drama. Most people get used to ‘usual’ female character that get portrayed many times in korean entertainment which can make people has difficulty to understand or tap into Soo Young characteristic. Unique and refreshing.
Glad Lee Ha Na accept this role after not acting in korean drama after 5 years including this year 2014 if you calculate this year. Hey, I’m a man. I care little about her pretty face when her personality can make a man who can overlook the outer beauty to see beyond of woman prettiness. She’s a woman who can take care of himself and also have deep sense of caring. Well for those who watch this drama focus about Soo Young Character can understand the point I really want to say.
I do got smitten by Soo Young character. Well this is drama. It is a gem if I can find such woman in real life. Well there is but most man just watch not SEE.

Love This Show!!!
It’s Brilliant Funny, Actually Quite Unique From Other K-Dramas I’ve Seen!!!
Even Though It’s Cute At Times, I Really hope the Main Couple Goes there Own Separate Ways In The End In A Friendly Way Of Course!
I Actually Don’t think They Fit, Not Enough Heavy OMG Type Chemistry, They Are More Really Good Friends They Remind Me Of Siblings!!!
Though, The Way It’s Going I’m Sure All The Character’s Will Have Some Sort Of Happy Ending!!!
Also The 2nd Male Lead Is Really Great At His Character I Adore Character’s Who Are Flawed He Seems To Have A Bit More Heaviness Than The Others, Though I Think Both Lead Male’s Are Extremely Awesome At What They Do!!!!
For Example Seo In Guk Playing two Roles Really Loved That!!!
The 2nd Lead Lee Soo Hyuk Looks Really Supernatural To Me Not Sure Why, Just Has A Different Look, But I’ve Only Seen Him In Two Shows, Seems Like He’s A Brilliant Actor As Are All The Rest!!!
I’ve Seen Lot’s Of K-Dramas But Hardly Recognized People From This One!!!
And K-Dramas All Have Gorgeous Beautiful People Must Be A Culture Thing Or Something!!!
Any Way, It Is A Beautiful Show, And I Truly Hope It Ends Epic And Wonderful!!!!

I wish they create a spin off about Hyung Suk too. This is probably the best rom com in 2014 and one of the best this decade. It’s so well written and the characters are ALL very memorable. Even Hyung suk who only appeared in a few scenes made an impact. We want more of him!
August 11th, 2014 at 11:39 am
this drama good i like it ….seo in guk act natural and good act

@mistygirl: it’s precisely the beauty of her character, her goofiness, her being “Soo Young” in general that added spice to this otherwise common and normal and boring “revenge of the Sith” plot drama series. Otherwise, it would just be another typical Korean drama sh1t. It is her character that got me hooked up with this in the first place. Soo Young is so refreshing and always exciting to watch in every episode. Lee Ha Na did justice in portraying her although I must admit that her the character’s being too nice and most of the time naive despite what Jin Woo did to her may seem over-rated and unreal in this time and age but still, it makes you wonder that maybe people like her is what we need in a “dog eats dog corporate world”. Her being simple yet very beautiful as a person is one big factor why this drama is a hit. It perfectly matched the “high schoolness” of Min Suk. So yeah, it is just you who find Soo Young uncharismatic and a pushover because as a man, I totally dig her character and I’m not really into Korean drama sh1t because I’ve had enough of these sh1t in our own local TVs here in the Philippines. And yes, if I am Min-Suk I would marry her. Peace out!

Even if the theme is a little surreal, this drama was fun to watch.
Actors and actresses have played very well, feelings and emotions are very real valued.
Recommended for those who want a little refreshment.
It’s an unforgettable drama with a good ending.
Congratulations to the entire team that made this drama.

Seo in guk never dissapoints me. He was great in reply 1997 and still doing great here. Although I wanted him to play a quite similar character like his in reply 1997,but I’ve never been disappointed because he played this character. He totally nailed it! What a great actor he is. He is also better than several real actors. An addicting drama. Lee ha na is also daebak. Her chemisty with in guk is reallllly cute

Just Finished It!!!
Ending Was Good But Not As Thrilling As I’d Hoped!
Glad All The Character’s Came Out Happy!!!
And Was Glad To See My Fave Character (The 2nd lead) Have A Hint of A Happy Ending Too!!!!
It Was a Rather Fun And Unique Drama seemed To Have More Character Development And Comedy Than Most Do!!!
And It Was The Least Mushy One I’ve Ever Seen, Which I Rather Liked That About It!!!
It Was Actually Quite BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Wonderful Work!!!!
I Hope People Enjoy This Show For Years To Come!!!!

This my favorite drama Korea omg Seo In Guk & Lee Ha Na romantic kiss,hug they isn’t dating? I hope they are working together in Another drama as a couple ( i hope become real) please 😥 :))
December 10th, 2014 at 1:34 pm
I’m sorry, I just do not see the appeal of this show. Its started out well, but by the end of it I was just ready for it to be over. I found Soo Young annoying as the show went on, not endearing as I’d hoped she would. Actually, my favorite character was Grandpa. It was well acted, and it was funny in some parts, but I feel it could have been a bit better written and ended more realistically.
March 24th, 2015 at 3:13 pm
The story gets silly after a while. It is not believable.
1) Fool the teacher using a dummy.
2) Not doing any homework or studying.
3) Highschooler acting as a director in a company.
4) Playing hockey in the middle of summer.
5) Plot stretches too long to fit into school semesters.
6) The 3 male students are too old to be Highschoolers.
Try too hard to carry a weak plot using cheesy kissing scenes.
I will give this drama a C+.
October 12th, 2015 at 3:46 pm
Love this drama! Still holds a special place in my heart and it introduced me to LEE SOO HYUK!!!! You can tell TVN loved it to because it got a special despite the ratings not being super high.

hi…..

This drama is one of the best I have ever seen. I often think of the characters and their moments even I see the actors in another drama. This one is so lovable, funny, heartwarming and sometimes even sad. It holds a special place amongs my favourite dramas. And Seo In Guk with Lee Ha Na makes it a cherry on top of an altogether tasteful cake. 😉
