This is the drama that made me fall in love with K-dramas in 2005
By that time, I had already watched several Japanese, Chinese, and Korean dramas. However, it was this particular drama that got me excited and interested in learning more details about other dramas.
Even though the story doesn't make sense, how could someone be so naive in that day as to be easily deceived by a close friend, and put up with being yelled at every day by someone they had just met? But Song HyeKyo and Rain make this drama enjoyable to watch thanks to their chemistry and funny interactions. This is also what made me realize that this is indeed a rom-com drama where you don't need to overthink the direction of the story. The interactions between the FL and the ML's family, especially ML grandmother, are absolutely delightful and something I always look forward to.
If you hate red flag men who boss their partners around and yell at them, you probably won't like this drama. The drama might feel drawn out due to repetitive conflicts, yet this is precisely where we see the male lead’s character development as he becomes a better person and grows to cherish the female lead. The female lead also matures throughout the story.
I love this drama so much that I rewatch it almost every year, whenever I listen OST from this drama, I feel an urge to watch it all over again. The soundtrack is masterpiece and brings back fond memories of the past. The fact that it has been remade in several countries is a testament to just how popular the drama was at the time.
This drama is etched in my core memories and will always be one of my all-time favorites.
