My 5th kdrama ever and it was kind of disappointing but not at the same time. The only reason I decided to watch this was because I had seen an edit of Park Hyungsik in this drama and wanted to give it a try. But looking at the year of the drama, I knew it wouldn't be at the same quality as the other 4 I had seen.The cast was a cast I didn't and still don't know and their acting was okay. Definitely think Park Hyungsik was the saviour of the show. His relationship with SFL was the reason I had continue to watch the show. The best scene was for sure the scene where Chang Soo had broke down in front of his mother and you could actually see that the mother felt bad for her son.
Overall, this show could've been done a lot better but I hadn't originally expected much from it.

Honestly this drama was so bland, the only saving graces for this drama were the second lead couple. Their chemistry was so realistic, natural, and very tongue and cheek while the main couple’s chemistry was so bland, lifeless and dull.I was slightly invested in the main FL’s storyline as she was abused by her family and especially her mother whom hated her. I was I’m waiting for the main FL to become successful and show her worth to the family but it never came. The resolution to her dealing with her issues revolving her family were a quick fix with no explanation, and her working to prove her family was nonexistent. I was so disappointed.
I gave this drama 3 stars only because of the 2nd lead. Its worth to skip over the ML’s parts and watch theirs. I am sad that they weren’t the mains because they could have made an excellent show together and I would be willing to watch them just banter back and forth.

Watch for Park Hyung Shik
Premise: Jang Yoon-Ha is the youngest daughter of a chaebol (family owned conglomeration). Even though her family is extremely wealthy, she holds a part-time job at a food market. She hides her background as an heiress and attempts to find a man that loves her for herself. (taken from Dramacool website).I watched this b/c of Park Hyung Shik (I recently finished watching Hwarang and needed to see plenty more of his magnificent face). He plays the second male lead and his part is much more compelling than our main leads.
This was my first rich girl/poor boy story and for the most part I enjoyed it but it's nothing to write home about plus Uee (Yoon Ha) and Seong Joon (Choi) were no match for our second leads Park Hyung Shik (Chang Soo) and Im Ji Yeon (Ji Yi). Yoon Ha's family was terrible and I genuinely felt bad for the girl. She has one of the worse mother's I have ever seen in a drama. Choi's face was so smug I couldn't get past that or his arrogance even though everything he told Yoon Ha was quite accurate.
Chang Soo and Ji Yi were so adorable and I about died when Chang Soo's heart was broken b/c of all this not being able to be with a person you love b/c they are considered beneath your station!! Lucky us we get a happy ending and I loved that and cheesy as it was.
Overall great soundtrack but I won't watch again. Except maybe to see Park's face!!

watchable to an extent
Though im only halfway through this, i gotta say this drama had a tremendous potential which was sadly wasted. Most previous reviewers pointed out its flaws, and they are right. My major objection is to the way the pairs were made. Im sure that, if the leads had just exchanged partners, we'd have got a totally interesting story. The FL and the SML obviously formed a bond at the first meeting, and their disturbed relationship had a lot of potential. Also, the ML falling for the SFL - who courted him so sincerely during the first episodes - would help him solve his love vs money dilemma. Despite ppl saying that the SFL is so cute and sweet, i totally think she is plain as a character. I would've rather embraced a love triangle where the male leads fight for the same women, since they seem to be in constant competition anyway... The villain brother is also more engaging as a character. But alas! We get what we get. The director must've been very determined to give us rich/poor couples, instead of considering their personalities.Also, if the 1st couple is said to have little chemistry, id rather blame the stiff ML - i noticed this in his other dramas. While the charming Hyung Sik never fails to impress, adding a nice depth to his character.
Still we get good-looking actors, nice clothes, nice places... Watchable when nothing else comes in handy.

2nd FL wins best Second Female Lead E.VER!!!
The ost is a feel good ost
The whole drama is a feel good one.
I expected a heavy melodrama I'm glad it isn’t …or is it… turning into one.
I wish it was longer. I watched it so quickly and it felt like it left a greater impact.
Also it felt like old dramas; a drama with a plot, not just a concept. I really enjoyed it, a lot.
I’m so happy writers like this one exist. Her dramas are always full of soul and love. They don't feel like empty shells, with an empty concept. Yes, they all become melodramatic and maybe draggy but I don't mind that, because it does have meaning in some way.

Good and bad at the same time
This is a drama that I find really difficult to rate, because it's at the same time very bad, and very good.The bad: the main couple and their acting. Boring, boring, boring! And bad acting! These two actors seemed bored to death with their own story and their own acting. They were totally unconvincing as a couple. There was no chemistry between them, either real or acted.
The good: the second couple, and the second lead's relationship with his Mom. With the excellent work that Park Hyung-Sik does the couple was exciting, and managed well to capture the viewers' interest. I have actually rewatched this drama, skipping all related to the main couple, just focusing on the second leads :-)
This was a drama that made me develop a serious case of second lead syndrome, as well as made me a fan of Park Hyun-Sik. I recommend it to all fans of this actor (just skip the main lead plot).

Não vá com grandes expectativas
Um drama muito gostosinho, ótimo pra se ver depois daqueles dramas de fortes emoções e reviravoltas.Não vá com grandes expectativas, aposto que muita gente por ver o Hyung Shik no elenco criou enormes expectativas, que não foram supridas. O personagem do Hyung Shik nem é o principal. Apesar dos dois casais terem grande desenvolvimento, ele é do casal secundário. Lamento informar.
O casal principal é ótimo, amei a protagonista. E o Sung Joon ta lindo, por falar nele... nunca mais vi dramas atuais dele. Vou procurar saber por onde ele anda. kkkk
Não espere grandes reviravoltas ou ser surpreendido.

Se estiver sem nada para assistir.
O que dizer... um bom drama, sem muitas reviravotas. Se estiver sem nada para assistir, que é quase impossível em nossa lista interminável, vale a pena. Não vá com grandes expectativas, aposto que muita gente pensou em assistir por causa do Hyung Shik no elenco, mas é bem linear. Gostei mais do casal Chang Soo (Park Hyung Shik) e da Ji Yi (Im Ji Yeon), achei que passaram mais emoção, gostei também de ver os 4 como amigos, com alguns desentendimentos de vez em quando. um drama gostosinho de assistir, mas só isso nada mais.Was this review helpful to you?
