This is one of the few Korean dramas that i often re-visit. For a drama to warrant a second look... a third look or even more than that from me is quite simple...i have to love the leads and the storyline. 'Coz i'm a self-confessed shallow fangirl, it really doesn't matter if the overall production and script is mediocre or even bordering on being bad. i can even forgive that stupid turn of events when someone was kidnapped and letting the person go scot free that easily *Orz* i'm only looking to be entertained and have zero illusions that watching asian dramas will benefit my intelligence quotient! ^^
The bad-tempered CEO, the simple but sassy grade school teacher and the manipulative but very wise grandfather that played as their matchmaker. I've been a fan of Kang Don Won since i've seen him in the movie Temptation of Wolves and since he rarely accepts acting jobs these days, i'm ever so grateful there is at least, 1% of Anything. I would have to agree with grandpa, Da-hyung*dont know the actress' real name Orz* is so adorbs, a perfect match for ill-mannered, posessive and the always jealous-stricken Jae-In*KDW*. Their constant bantering... i mean their verbal clashes are like what i look forward to at every episode.
there are 2 other love story in this drama, Jae In's younger sister and his lawyer bestfriend, and Da-Hyung's bestfriend and Jae-in's cousin*i would have preferred Da-hyung's elder brother for her tbh*. while their own stories and situations are noteworthy for some if not for most viewers, im afraid for me, im only ever interested in our main leads and their journey towards the altar^^ i think i also need to mention her family, the parents in particular, such principled lot, them all. i love the scene when our cunning old grandpa manipulated all of them into agreeing to let our leads marry... the hurried engagement and wedding... aaahhh...
harabeoji*grandfather in korean
*, you're the man!
good script, good acting and awesome ensemble cast... funny, witty and a lovely chemistry from the main leads... and more importantly, there's the 2003 version of Kang Dong Won... so what are you waiting for? watch, watch, watch ^^
