Sun-Ki is SOOOOOO FINEEEEEE <3

I really loved this one, even though I usually drop romantic shows after they get together. For some reason I could actually sit and watch this, there were definitely cringe scenes but not a lot that I had to take a break from the show. I do love romance but if it's too much I'll drop it.
I thought the story was pretty good though. I love stories like this, a little risky, a little fun, a little bit of this and that. I just love the girl-pretends-to-be-a-guy story so bad. There were just some weird innuendos though, that caught me off guard. For example, all the foot shots (I just don't like feet). There were a few other scenes I'm failing to remember but SOOOO many foot shots. Also what parent allowed their kid to show their butt like that. That caught me so off guard. Yeah it was the 2000's but we got to be careful of our children. It would've been nice if they gave more on the Kokum though, saying a bit more about her health cause after the wedding of Yoo-Joo and Han-Sung, it looked like she wasn't gonna last but I think that was more personal for me.
The acting and cast were perfect. Obviously, I do NOT support Gong yoo like at all but I found a place to finally watch this show and did. Maybe it was just me but I think Han kyul also could've looked like he loved her more. I think Miss queen did amazing, I saw she loved him but it was a bit...different for him. That may also be personal because of his track record.

To continue, I really didn't love the traditional roles in it like SAVE MY GIRLS cause that was scary. It kinda, maybe really screamed insecurity on the males part because wdym you wanna control them. If you want to be a housewife, no problem with it but they clearly had different things for their life.
Although it was sad the baby was lost, I just think Han-Sung was a bit much. As I saw it, I don't think they matched well, they brought up their past's too much, that it was a little awkward. I just think even though they did love each other, they should've gone another way. They both needed to heal and forgive each other from past mistakes or mishaps. I also wanted to understand why Yoo-Joo was doing all that, at the start of the show because why would she lead Han kyul on? That's really all I have to say for her, maybe they cleared it up in that one episode, when he talked about how he just liked her because it was a habit, I can understand it but it's probably just morals on my part.
Again, I'm glad Eun-Chan got to do what she wanted and not what he wanted. Her whole life was doing things for others and not for herself. It was very well deserved. Too bad they weren't understanding about her situation when they found out she's a girl. I loved her character and I was cheering for all the girls on the show. I wanted to see her mom marry because Mr. Butcher (I forgot his name) was cute and together they were just perfect.

I'm not someone who rewatches shows but again, I could sit through this one and enjoy it. There were some parts I did have to break down but there was something in the air about this one.
Lastly, Sun-Ki fine ahhh man fr. Like come ONNNNN, they were all very gorgeous but there's a special place. (MIn-Yeop did seem pretty old for Eun-Chans sister though. Brodi look 24, I couldn't see him younger than that so it was pretty weird)
