Synopsis
Lee Ha Na is Hwang Me Ri, a snack vendor who dreams of becoming a musician. She is an optismistic person like her nickname, Merry, because she was born on Christmas day. She’s the type of person always repays the ‘kindness’ that others give to her. One day, her world begins to start crumbling down when she encounters Ji Hyun Woo as Kang Dae Gu, the chivalry novelist who is younger than her by a year. Since then, both of them are always bickering whenever they meet which leaves their same neighbors in constant headaches. Seon Do Jin is Me Ri’s first love and Dae Gu’s senior. He sticks around Me Ri as he pities the situation that she is in. Wang Bit Na will portray Lee So Ran. Lee So Ran is known as the plastic beauty, or in other words the “Plastic Paris Hilton”. She’s snobby and has fixed her face with plastic surgery, although it turned out very natural. She lives her life similar to Paris Hilton. She has an unique taste in men. One day, she meets a novelist named Kang Dae Gu and falls in love with him.

I love this drama..
both of the leading actor (JI Hyun Woo) and the actress (Lee Ha Na) are acting very good, at first looked a little bit weird, but after that very interesting.
Go-go merry daegu !!

Really wacky and hilarious! One of the funniest shows I’ve seen. The best part is the leads have such great chemistry… See the two of them together and you’ll know what I mean.

This show seems to be greatly underrated. It’s really, really funny with all the over-the-top hairstyle, dressing & acting! It has some really sweet moments too…

lee ha na is the ultimate korean beauty & she makes you laugh effortlessly cos she’s a born comedien. Watching her is so much fun & the chemistry with the lead actor is great. the story gets interesting as it goes along tho i can’t put up with Degu’s bushy hairstyle. watch this drama if you want to release some stress & have a fun evening.

The best comedy of 2007!!! Lee Ha Na & Ji Hyun Woo has such terrific chemistry… One of the cutest couples!!!
April 15th, 2008 at 1:16 am
This is one of the worst comedy I’ve seen, can’t finish it after 4 episodes. It’s a mix of Broadway music (which is an insult to the music itself), silly dialogues and stupid violence together that just don’t blend in well. What a waste of time and actor’s talents. Maybe towards the end we will see some improvement, but now it’s so boring and not for me.
May 26th, 2008 at 10:12 am
i am watching it right now but it’s not that good. i got bored.. sorry
June 27th, 2008 at 7:54 am

Oh! This is soooooo good!!! So many fun, wacky & memorable characters…
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Totally hilarious!!! However, you must be patient & get past the first few episodes… Take the dressings & hairstyles as they are. They are meant to be really over-the-top… In fact, these things contributed to the wackiness of the drama!!! So enjoy them!!!
