Casting Kim Sang Kyung prevented this drama from being rated higher. He just seems to have a lower stature and seems out of place compared to the other leads. He’s performance was borderline cartoonish.
Failed experiment, a)Hire the bargain basement actors, writer, director, and talent. b)Make ML & FL unlikeable. c)Make script amateurish . d)Use weak ineffectual looking actor as ML. e)Use actress that mostly plays the antagonist as FL. f)Make most characters act stupid and silly. And the list goes on, Then by insurance against the drama’s failure, sit back and collect, Hmm sounds like someone watched The Producers and took it literally.
Just avoid this one in my opinion, because it’s the worst kind of drama that promises better but self sabotages. At least drama that set no expectations and stink are much more palatable because you don’t feel deceived.
It pretty much goes off the rails after episode 65, quickest way for a writer to ruin a show is to make the leads unlikeable and making them a doormat that protects their enemies in addition it guarantees you lose empathy for them..
Adding in using lazy plot devices like lack of communication and pure stupidity, you guarantee frustrated viewers.
In addition I am yet to find a “Lee Yoo Ri” drama with a nice satisfying ending, the ones I’ve seen all end with a whimper, I suspect she’s an ego trip in real life.

Unfortunately this suffered from the “let’s wait till last minute syndrome to bring the couple together” for high viewership ratings, there by ruining the romance aspect. In my humble opinion.
The episodes are so dense, the scriptwriter must have been burnt out. Also it must have been a tough shoot for the actors, because of the amount of dialogue. This should been developed into 2 separate dramas with lighter tone.
You could watch episodes 1 to 30 , 30 to 60 or 60 to 130 and get a full drama fix.
Every year I try to watch this, and every year I drop it after 2 episodes. The contrast between the ML’s goof antics and the FL playing straight is to big a chasm to traverse mentally. I don’t think “Jang Hyuk” is cut out for romantic roles.
Hollywood is fake. That's like asking if all white people are racist, all black people are thugs, all hispanics…
That is why I stopped watching Hollywood. And my comment was tongue in cheek. I have theorized that it’s in writers contract to include as much toxic characters/traits as possible.

My favorite thing is SML’s sister’s daughter.
KDrama writers only getaway with these because the actresses are such eye candy, and I’m guilty of selecting dramas based on visuals.
