If you like a heroine who is shallow and manipulates, lies, skips school, hits & bullies adults as well as her friends, then cries when she doesn't get her way...then have at this drama. Yes, it was filmed 14 years ago, but I've watched many others from early years which are far better than this. The supporting characters are very thinly drawn & serve no purpose but to keep the two from being together---especially the Prosecutor's close friend who is the worst of them all. The drama seems to put humour (not my idea of funny) way ahead of heart. I came to see Lee Dong Gun after his great role in The 7 Day Queen but sadly, all he does is apologize to her when she's the one without filters and spends her time creating schemes. This was such a waste of time.
I got to episode 6 of the first season and deliberated about continuing, so I read the comments about season 2 (which Netflix includes with season 1)) to find out whether to stay committed. Nope. My big problem with this drama overall is that there is no over-arcing story between our characters--no tension or growth between them that keeps us wondering what will happen to them as people. The plot artifice of her taking over a policewoman's body becomes hackneyed and reminds me of one of the reasons I stopped watching american tv. Many might like the mini-stories of the ghosts in each episode but one hour isn't enough to really get some depth in characterization & plot, which leaves you feeling nothing. So ten episodes of no 'feels' leaves you in a 'meh' mood...which creeps easily into BORING. Of course the actors are such professional as always, it's hard to actually abondon them, but without hope for some real satisfaction in their futures I'm out.

Seems like there was a tsunami of 'haters' while this was airing? Can't understand it. Actually the very slow,' one step forward, two steps back romance of these high-school students made sense for me…and I think it touched anyone who remembers their first love. I agree, it was better than Boys Over Flowers. Park Shin Hye's character showed courage by forcing herself to stay by his side in a very hostile environment. Loved Kim Tan and his brother, bromance as it developed. I always like a happy ending1
