Anyway, this time I'll really try to make it short.
I stalled for a long time contemplating whether to watch it and if it wasn't for my mum I might never go for it. But this isn't saying that it's bad, just that it's quite average. Compared to Miss Ripley where the plot became quite engaging towards the middle but soon after got really lame with PTT is was moderately interesting from episode 1 to episode 18. But I think it's pretty good for a Korean drama to last whole 18 episode without the plot becoming awfully lame since usually I say most Korean dramas would become a lot better if you throw away episodes 11-15 or so)
But otherwise in terms of plot there isn't much to say. Everything is pretty standard. Four young people, a clumsy girl with a lot of dignity and lots of complicated feelings. Now for the characters. Unexpectedly I actually quite like Choi Kang Hee. I don't really like her character but there's something appealing about her. And I think her eyes was the main comical relief of the show. Jaejoong was pretty good except that I frowned all the time when he was on because his eyes were always bloodshot and he generally looked starved and sleep-deprived. My poor bb.
This dorama is also notable for a record number of on-screen kisses. I think there were about 5 or 6. And then then was that one fantasy scene with Jae that was kinda hot. One good thing to say about the show is that romantic interactions actually looked somewhat believable. It always annoyed me about Korean doramas - how pathetic and unnatural all the romantic scenes look. I find Cha Ji Heon quite annoying but that bed scene in Ep. 13 was really endearing. Seriously I think it was probably the most natural romantic scene out of all the Korean dramas I watched. The other couple was also pretty endearing in a way. Somehow I didn't feel even slightly jealous, I actually hoped they would end up together. Seriously thought I was secretly hoping MuWon might end up with his secretary - she's both smart and pretty but oh well. I'm quite satisfied with the ending.
Well, that's about all I was going to say. Or rather I should just post it before I think of something else)
Overall - not bad.
