Interesting drama indeed! This drama is funny and Im looking forward on this. Is anyone feel the same with me that I heard not-so-familiar korean words that Bok Shil use? I find is strange but I think she came in the province of korea that’s why. Thumbs up for this drama!

as usual SIG is very charming he can handle any kind of role throw to him… I find NJH is also good in acting since the last dram I saw her was “What happened to My Family” she really needs this break I think its about time for her to be in the limelight….Goodluck…

This movie really good drama and all main cast are do best job.
October 24th, 2016 at 3:16 am
Starting to watching episode 1 & 2, very enjoyable drama and funny. Love Seo In Guk ‘s actings, had seen him in many types of dramas from thriller, romance and comedian and I think comedian suit him more b’cos his expressions very funny and cute.
This is my first-time see the female lead in this drama and so far, her looks is very common and plain and I don’t think she look cute or pretty at all but her acting is not bad. Hope this show won’t disappointed me and at this moments, I enjoy it very much.
So far so good, love this type of drama. Funny and no complicated or cliché in the storyline. Had enough of medical dramas from now.
I thought Louie was a shopping king but after he lost his memory, he became king eater. Always seen he eating foods and hungry. From what I seen, he is not choosy about his foods as they predicted. He eats anything.
Seo In-guk in this drama, looks cute and handsome than his previous dramas. I just wonder how he can shopping online everyday while under-cares by Go Bok-shil? I don’t think Bok-shil has a personal computer and credit cards because she came from poverty. Some parts of this drama really illogical.
What happen to Kdramas nowadays? All those new young actresses getting nothing close to the looks of superstars, they ‘r so plain and too common as ordinary people. If you visit to Korea, in the street, there are more beautiful ladies.
The reason why I stop watching this drama is b’cos I don’t like simple-looking actress like Nam Ji Hyun? Sorry to say, she really don’t have the looks and perfect figures as a leading actress and funny, even the second lead actor, Yong Sang Hyun looked weird and funny at his ages in this role.
Sorry, don’t blame me. I have the rights to say what I want to say because I’m the audience and supporter here and they are products to please us.
Its gives me a great laugh when the hairstylist changed their hairstyles according to their names. Louie ‘s hairstyle looked like judge’s wig, Bong-gil’s hairstyle looked like bee-hives and In Sung’s hairstyle looked like Albert Einstein.
I remembered there is the moments of Mr. Cha & Louise are so precious that I literally can’t stop laughing.
Actually, all of them are not well-known as famous idols but their acting are amazing in this drama.
Thumb-up to all of them.
Still catching up to episode 6 from yesterday to now. I think Nam Ji Hyun is quite beautiful but simple looking actress. Maybe she still a newbie and she was young, only 21 years old this year. She is not a K-pop singer, so I don’t think she need grooming so much and you might not know, maybe one day she become popular well-known actress like Park Shin Hye now. Before Park Shin Hye become popular, I don’t see her as a beautiful actress but now, whether dramas she acted in become hit and always praised by netrizens.
From the episode 6 onwards, I feel Nam Ji Hyun getting fairer and beautiful. Am I the only one who noticed fairer skin make Korean look prettier?
October 24th, 2016 at 7:24 pm
@Kayla, not only Nam Ji Hyun become fairer, her complexion also changed to smooth if you noticed her at the beginning episodes 1,2 & 3. I like Korean ‘s hair-color, always silky-shine, that’s make a lot of differences. Probably, the make-up artists dab a lot of foundations, concealers, cc, bb, 2 ways cake, compressed powders onto her face. You can see how many layers they applied onto the face to built-up the transformation.
October 24th, 2016 at 8:26 pm
The coolest of King Louis, making everyone he meet become his slaves. Like his characters in this drama. If there have this type of person, definitely he lives to fullest.
October 27th, 2016 at 2:49 pm
So refreshing and funny drama. Worth to watch
October 28th, 2016 at 3:18 pm
louiiiiieeeeeyaaaaa saraaanghaeeeeeeeeeee
October 28th, 2016 at 8:15 pm
Bok Sil needs to be tanned in the first few episode because she is a country girl she lived in mountain definitely no cosmetics. When she moved in the city she transformed, her complexion changed had her hair done.. I think no explanation needed.. lo..! What I don’t like in this drama is that sometimes its annoying already their stupidty of the lead sometimes too much. Louis has Amnesia but he is not an idiot do not make him a laughing stock here Mr. or Ms. Writer whoever ! Not too much
October 29th, 2016 at 7:39 pm
I love this drama. very entertaining..
October 31st, 2016 at 1:51 am
BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG drop out first few seconds

November 6th, 2016 at 8:43 pm
At first a bit skeptical seeing the poster and the synipsis,but after the moon lover catastrophic ending,i try this drama with no expectation just to get by,turns out this drama is soo funnyyy,i laugh a lot,all the character is amusing,and didnt get any boring moment yet 🙂 love it ^^
November 8th, 2016 at 1:16 pm
This drama isn’t that bad, quite humorous especially Yoon Sang Hyun (Cha )
and main actor is such a pampered one in this drama.
I quite enjoy this drama, but ah..stopped at Episode 13, like Jealousy Incarnate stopped so long with the 2 last episodes..so best if all episodes comes out then download, that’s what I normally do but this year not many nice dramas so I watched the new ones and have to wait again
November 11th, 2016 at 1:25 pm
Second half of the drama ran out of steam, should cut it short by 2-3 episodes. Overall, this is an OK drama if you like the 4 lead actors.
November 12th, 2016 at 9:13 am
Good, not heavy for watch it, fun, happy, nice plot, and nice story too.
November 13th, 2016 at 5:07 am
From the beginning, the story is very nice and sweet but the ending is just extra….dragging until they don’t know what more to add-on. Btw, I don’t like all the actors in this show.
November 13th, 2016 at 3:31 pm
This is a nice drama. Recommended!!
November 15th, 2016 at 1:40 am
i really like this drama so fun loving andawesome cast too watch i enjoy this drama i like seo in guk very much what a great actor he is i watch all his drama really love his acting great actor and also great singer too
November 15th, 2016 at 6:31 pm
Bok Sil sometimes looks like Jang Nara (Korea) n Agnes Monica (Indonesia)^-^
November 17th, 2016 at 10:10 pm
best drama ever after moon lovers and 38 task force. love this drama alot. Not the average dramas you know. and yes some people judge from the posters. the posters is not justified with this wonderful drama. start from ep 2 ,, it is daebak…
November 22nd, 2016 at 6:14 pm
Just finished seeing the last episode of SHOPPING KING LOUIE! It was so funny. Seo In-Guk and Nam Ji-Hyun were so cute and innocent in this drama. I’m glad Yoon Sang-Hyun didn’t play the lead this time; even though he still looks good for a 43 year old man. My sincere thanks to the cast and crew for a job well done.
November 22nd, 2016 at 9:43 pm
Best Drama of 2016.. Great acting from all the cast especially “Prince Gwanghae” Seo In Guk and “Princess Deokman” Nam Ji Hyun..
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:04 am
One of the most underrated draama of 2016 . also beautiful mind.. This drama is just perfect.. pls vote vote this drama.. I love the casts and story. I didnt get sick because of the fillers in this drama <3
November 23rd, 2016 at 12:37 pm
Though am one of seo in guk fan, but i thought he made a wrong choice by choosing this drama project. This drama is such a boring story and very predictable… very disappointed!
I tried to watch the first episode but i don’t have the energy to continue it… so boring! no wonder the ratings weren’t really good either!
sorry seo in guk, i can’t stand this drama!!
November 24th, 2016 at 10:17 pm
I love inguk took this project, as always he slays every acting style. @Gukkie_Fans Says , I am not his fan or any actor, but i like how he cahllange himself by taking this role. I mean I know lee minho, jichang wook or other actors, i dont think they can do this role better than him. Seo In guk had done action, comedy and romance plus melodrama daramas. He is so verastile..

December 11th, 2016 at 10:07 pm
..yeah Seo inguk nailed it again ..there is no actor can portray this kind of acting better than him..he loves to challenge himself…
..and i guess this would be his last series before entering the military…:(
…for me he’s one of the best korean actor and singer…

I have sooo much love for this amazing drama! Only wonderful things to say about it. Seo In Guk and Nam Ji Hyun are absolutely adorable and make the cutest couple. The story is solid with a bit of mystery, but mostly the drama is light, fun, and completely hilarious. Truly wonderful in every way 🙂
