Soy mala para las comedías románticas pero cuando vi en el casting a Kang Dong Woon, no pude resistirme, y me encantó verlo en un drama.
Una historia tierna, que nos cuenta que del odio al amor solo hay un paso... lo malo es que nos sigue mostrando que las mujeres tienden a enamorarse de los "patanes", sin embargo hay algo en los dramas coreanos acerca de ellos... estos "patanes" tiene un corazón amable y cálido, necesitado de amor y lleno de miedo de ser lastimados.
Las actuaciones son entretenidas, y muy diferentes a las que nos han acostumbrado ahora.
De verdad que este drama merecía una nueva temporada, y la hicieron hace poco, y volvió a ser un éxito, porque la historia da para eso, porque nos enseña que de nada sirve cosechar todo el dinero si no tenemos a una persona que nos ame a nuestro lado, que la familia es parte fundamental en nuestras vidas.
Desearía que todas las comedias románticas fueran como esta.

I really enjoyed this drama. It was one of the first dramas I saw. Since then I have seen quite a few. It is not the best drama out there by any stretch of the imagination, but it is sweet and endearing. When I watch a drama, I am always looking for that emotional connection. If I can't connect with the drama, or care for the characters, no matter how amazing the plot is , it would not be enjoyable for me. With that in mind, this drama still remains one of my favourites. The plot is simple and easy to follow,but plagued with the usual problems that face most Korean dramas, that is, it is uneven and could have had better pacing,slowing down significantly in the later episodes. However this dramas major strenght is its cast. Kang Dong Won is great here as the ill tempered lead, Jae In, who ends up being comical and endearing. It was great seeing him change and evolve as a person as the drama progressed. The main romantic pairing is cute and believable, but most importantly they make you care. You want them to be happy , to succeed. It is a great journey, filled with laughs (you can thank a petulant Jae In for most of those), sighs and a few awwws.Recommended for an easy, heartfilled watch.
