I just finished this drama. I wish I could say I loved it; after all, I love the main leads and many of the supporting cast. However, it was so SLOW GOING. It became a chore to watch this. 20 episodes are too many; could've done this with 16, at the least. And, then, after all that, the ending seemed rushed.
I finished this yesterday and I feel a little lost today. Best drama I've seen in a while. I think the last Korean drama I liked this much was Healer. Great cast, excellent acting, wonderful storyline, stunning cinematography.
Loved this fun drama! It was light-hearted, but it also tackled some serious issues. I just wanted something that wasn't too heavy, but also not overly ridiculous. I watched this one straight through!
I decided to watch this because I really like the 2 main actors.I quit watching the second episode because seriously can't stand this guy's behavior: stalking and kidnapping/imprisonment. Dude doesn't need a wife; he needs a jail sentence!!

The episodes go much too quickly! I'm hoping since Netflix picked this up, we'll get more.
