I actually get this drama’s idea bit by bit. Then, what dissapoint me is the story seems not
in a pace. I have some confusing time when I watch it. Seems a few characters are “waste their talent” here. But, this drama looks cute and have bit of fun.

nice and funny drama..thank you

Seriously, hwang jung eum needs to change her hair stylist! I’ve seen most of her dramas, and she never failed to disappoint me with her hairstyle. You don’t need to cut your hair short just to prove you have a pretty face.
July 11th, 2016 at 2:01 am
best drama ever!! im starting to love single eyelid guy Je soo love you!!
July 13th, 2016 at 3:08 pm
This drama is TOO EXCELLENCE!!!
July 14th, 2016 at 7:27 am
Wished HJE could have gotten better Drama after KMHM & She was pretty. She was good on those 2 previous Dramas. And … what the heck is this hairstyle again. How many Dramas is she going to have with this hairstyle . I think this is her 3rd or 4th Drama with that same style since Can you hear my heart.Like her better with the long hair !!!

i love joon yul in reply 1988 but i love him even more in this drama. he is such a natural actor! 🙂

Shim bo nui…you has a such silly
fashion,i dont mind with her hairstyle but the wardrobe is the worst
hope you better on the next drama
September 14th, 2016 at 3:16 am
Sorry, but this is the worst I have seen as far as wardrobe for a leading lady–pants under dresses. And, flat-lipped kisses don’t really hold up to other “romantic” expression. Did she just become a monk. And, that whiny voice, again, sorry to be this critical, but this drama fell just as flat as her kisses. Too bad leading man didn’t have better co-star otherwise I would have liked it.
