Unexpectedly serious tone doesn't weigh it down. but also enjoyable & smile inducing

Park Eun Bin's perkiness & smile are infectious. Many times she believably radiates joy, which adds a great deal to the appeal of this drama. Considering that she did not train as an idol, It's impossible to be unimpressed by her singing. If you saw her in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, you will feel some similarity in the characters, but she was probably cast in this drama because of her ability to portray innocent yet scrappy. I had some annoyance at how there seemed to be storyline gaps, but the answers were doled out in little bits here & there as the drama progressed. It was unexpected & sad to see Kim Joo Heon & Lee Seung Joon as antagonists. The series has a happy ending in ep.11 but continues on with another episode , over coming the "hitch" in the happiness to give us a fully satisfying ending, with enough time to actually feel completely engulfed in warm fuzzies. The series was a lot more serious than I expected, yet the somber themes did not weigh it down. overall, I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable & smile inducing it was.
