This is going to be Amazing!!! LOVE KangSoRa

Usually in these dramas when the boy and girl are shown as children, as adults the romance will be between them. But in this drama, the male lead is not that boy. So I’m a little confused. Will this story play out like “The King Loves” where the other guy and not the lead character ends up with the girl? I’d be a tad disappointed.

It’s only first episode but this is surprisingly beautiful, Choi Siwon made me laugh the whole time, the strong personality of Kang Sora giving me a good vibes, and Gong Myung is totally different here from aggressive in bride of habaek to a firm and well behave here, i can sense a love triangle between the three of them, I’m excited to find out how their story goes.
October 17th, 2017 at 5:26 am
Love this drama. Kang Sora is a great actress and I enjoy all of her dramas. Hope the ratings go up.

sı won vw kang so ra iyi bir ikili oluşturmuşlar izleyip göreceğiz bakalım dizi nereye gidecek
October 19th, 2017 at 3:35 pm
I’ll definitely watch this drama after a long time! Love Choi Siwon! I watched many preview and I love that he will plays a fun character like Reporter Shin Hyuk in She was pretty. And his past in this drama may be so sad.
And Super Junior will come back soon in November 6, please listen to their song ^^

Cheesy , cliche .. you name it they got it

Omwooooooooo… I just finished watch episode 8.. Aaaaaaaa.
My review :
First i watch this drama episode 1 and 2, i wonder, should i continue? Because the story is emmmhh, weak, not strong. The reason why i watch this drama is becoz choi siwon. But after i watch eps 1 and 2, i ill feel to him. He is act like disgusting man, weak personality and annoying.
BUT
After episode 3 and later eps… I start to paid attention to this drama. Choi siwon karakter in this drama is developed. He turn into charming character, he push his inside skill. That is the interesting point why this drama is become more exciting. Byun hyuk character from annoying boy turned into strong and stronger character. He made many decision, he took responsibilty, and stopped doing stupid things. Then i think this is what i want to watch. Byun hyuk (siwon) become charming character here. In episode 1 and 2 i thought that Baek joon better end up with second lead male, but after episode 8, i change my mind. Yeah Byun hyuk is the right man to stand side by side with baek joon… Omoooo, siwon become soooo charminh here, especially in episode 8….
This drama has so many motivation of life, about decision, how to life pricely, being resposibilty person, etc.
Last, i rate this drama 9 of 10 so far.
November 6th, 2017 at 11:06 pm
Anyway, i really love episode 8, especially ending scene….. Aaaaaww its the first time i watch siwon kiss in drama for 12 year. Last drama i watch him made a kiss scene is in drama 19 vs 29. The kiss scene episode 8 is sooo passionate kisssss….. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Really good drama. TvN always has good drama to watch.
November 16th, 2017 at 7:02 pm
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 This drama and all the actors. Wished it were 50ep!
Never liked CSW and KS but this drama changed it.
They both so charming.
Agree Kang Sora very good actress
Also like Gong Myung.
Fighting!

This is a funny , comedy drama .Byun Hyuk is a guy that looks as if , not that intelligent than his brother . He is actually a clever guy and lacks of parents’ love to guide him along his difficulty .
Baek Joon can be a good mentor towards Byun Hyuk . The romantic of this drama is , if Baek Joon will end up married to Byun Hyuk , I guess the wicked greedy brother Byun Woo Sung cannot bully Byun Hyuk anymore , because Baek Joon is a very smart lady whereby, she’s able to gang up with Byun Hyuk to overcome all obstacles together and endure all hardships together .
I love this drama ……..

I think writing is weak for various reasons; Some parts are unrealistic like getting own father to jail.
*spoiler*
KSR’s role has no direction. And last third of the series GM has more exposure. In this drama, just realised she is not such a good actress, and not as pretty. Funnily, her clothes are a bit trendy given her role is a part-time worker. But she changes clothes all the time. And stays in a nice apartment with a rooftop to a sea view!
CSW role didn’t really redeem himself… in the end he still doesn’t have much direction in his life. A bit unrealistic given he is a chaebol heir.
Only saving grace is the bromance/good chemistry between the two male leads.
And I must say they have given GM a lot of exposure here… looking forward to a drama where he can be the lead.
Overall a drama that wants to be a coming of age, but became just unrealistic given the reality in the workplace now.
December 4th, 2017 at 9:42 pm
I’d like to add too that there’s very low chemistry between the leads, that I cringe on their romantic scenes. Don’t know, somehow feels they are mismatched or more like brother-sister.
KSR role (or acting) is a bit annoying, CSW’s acting can sometimes be over the top. But overall he still provides credible acting, considering he is really an idol. He has good acting chops, quite natural.

some stuff are off, but it’s okay to watch.
December 5th, 2017 at 1:42 pm
I enjoyed this drama until the last two, three episodes. I don’t like to use the term but the plot is really stupid, I can’t believe the “solution that nobody get hurt” is to send Byun Hyuk’s father to jail. I can’t remember the last time I am so disappointed at the story of a tvN drama.
December 6th, 2017 at 12:19 pm
Aw… I loved the ending! I think this drama is one of the best I’ve seen thus far. The chemistry between Hyuk and Joon was great. Jae Hoon was depicted very well. Woo Sung’s story was never developed and left hanging but I was okay with that. My congratulations to all!
December 8th, 2017 at 2:14 pm
I regret watching this drama….
I’ll givr credit to hyuk and jae hoon….
December 10th, 2017 at 10:07 am
THIS DRAMA IS VERY BEST DRAMA IN MY LIFE!!!!!IT FULL OF COMEDY
December 20th, 2017 at 7:58 am
A rare gem! Not only is it perfect,but its in a multiple way! Lead actors, supporting actors,storyline, teachings, and also good if you learn Korean.
Siwon and the others made for me my fav. present-time drama! Im not a beginner and a historical drama lover, but saw enough from both type to say! Yes,this is a gem! 고마워요!
December 21st, 2017 at 10:12 am
I like the story line, good actor and actress but then the ending isn’t that great so I cannot say it is an excellent drama. But I do notice Korean drama always start a good beginning but seldom ends with good endings. Pity sometimes to see an ending that isn’t that great
January 1st, 2018 at 9:52 pm
Love this drama so much 🙂 specially the OST 👍🏻 somehow I really want Joon and Jae Hoon to be together more than Hyuk 😭 Jae Hoon smile is gold ❤️
January 23rd, 2018 at 12:20 pm
In fairness, Si Won has come a long way. He’s becoming a fine actor in his diverse roles particularly this drama. He’s good in comedy.
April 4th, 2018 at 10:05 am
Hi kang Sora, long time not to see you last time i saw you Mesaeng drama
good luck, I realy like you acting.
September 24th, 2018 at 11:38 am
I am grateful to have opened this discussion. This question is quite interesting to me. Finally the answer was found
October 30th, 2019 at 12:51 am
Choi Siwon was fun here, but the drama overall was a mess. Story was weak as were the character developments. The drama was all over the place, and it felt quite slow. Just a so-so watch.
