Lee Soon Shin (IU) was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but with the death of her father, she’s finally forced to confront reality and all of the hardships that come with it. Coddled as the youngest and least successful sibling of the family, the silly Soon Shin nevertheless shines as a lively and spirited girl, which attracts Shin Joon Ho (Jo Jung Suk), a talent agent banking on a comely return-on-investment. However, both of them get more than they expected when their partnership turns both of their lives around for the better. (Source: dramafever)

I honestly don’t think this drama got the ratings it deserved.the ratings are too high. There was too many crying and slow progression.

Did IU and JJS end up together?

I always wonder when watching Korean drama whether the producer had hired interior decorators to furnish the house living by rich family or individual. Looking at empty space of actress Song’s house a bit weird to me because it seems that she is living in a museum rather than a home. I’m not sure whether Korean people really don’t like many furniture or decor in their house or just because the drama lacking talent for house decor.
January 23rd, 2014 at 11:07 am
In response to Rested’s comment, I think the drama have their own interior decorator, but in my own personal experience going to South Korea and having a host family, the place where I stayed, a nice 3-4 apartment overlooking the Han River had barely had any furniture in their lounge room only a couch. side table and another small table that is why they looked so spacious. Sometime it can be realistic and sometimes not.

I watched this drama just to see Jung Woo Oppa..
February 12th, 2014 at 3:55 pm
This drama sometimes can be too frustrating. Too much drama and sadness. Especially from IU’s character, sometimes I hate her character. But I love her acting here. I think the only fresh air for this drama is the baker’s story. He’s funny and gave the fresh story between the drama and sadness. But over all, it’s a good drama.
March 23rd, 2014 at 2:24 pm
IU and jung suk are the best part of this drama. I. was able to finish only bcoz of them. Their on and off screen chemistry is awesome.Scriptwriter of this drama sucks
June 9th, 2014 at 4:10 pm
I just read that GMA network in the Philippines already bought its rights more than a year ago when it’s still airing in Korea. Cant beliieve it still isn’t airing here. I’m so excited to watch this already. Too bad only few people know this great drama that’s why I cant find DVD’s being sold here :'(

I always love IU, great singer and great actress.. so talented.. 🙂
June 18th, 2014 at 2:13 am
I love this drama. The scenes are going more and more intense every after episode 😉
June 22nd, 2014 at 2:19 pm
Whenever I look at Song Mi Ryung in this drama I can’t help but see a demonic witch instead. It just means that i’m so carried away with this series. Kudos to all the cast! They all did great 😀 👏 🙌
June 23rd, 2014 at 2:24 am

June 26th, 2014 at 5:26 pm

just found this drama by chance..and I m in the midst of watching now.. I sort of like the story although at times it can be very frustrating watching her bio-mother’s personality.
Can somebody recommend me any other drama like this story type or cast
and I don’t mind the long drama as long as the storyline is good .
