Well done but not unforgettable

7 / 10

Jackykero · 2009

I categorize this one in category of the well-rounded, well-written, well-acted, well-directed modern doramas. Nothing disappoints there, there is a little bit of everything: good plot overall, nice and different characters, good acting across the board, some touches of originality, some comic relief, some romance, a strong lead actress (I have to admit that I am a big fan of Kanno Miho and was not disappointed again).
I found 2 weaknesses though: first, the fact that there's not much that is really outstanding in this dorama, except the closing scene which I absolutely loooved (I played each one 3 of 4 times), but that's only 30 seconds or so. Second, I found that the plot held up well until episode 5 or 6, then obviously the writers were looking for ideas, and they reverted to classic tricks (but it still was well done)
My conclusion: it probably won't be an unforgettable moment, but I don't think anyone will be disappointed by this dorama.

Captivating first episode

This is a happy and cheerful drama to watch. Miho Kanno looks great here. Her outfit and hairstyle are just too great to miss. It's so good to finally watch something nice. I seriously need to take a break from those dragging and nothing but love focused Korean drama... Simply nice drama to watch
