Review: Its the kind of drama that doesn't really excite me in all honesty. It was very predictable in a sense that makes it boring for me. I still choose to continue watching it for Si Won, yes he is the second lead actor, which was for me the most handsome one. I really wished they ended up together but I guess she was just so head over heels with her first love, even when she wasn't treated fairly. I just don't see any chemistry between the two leads that's why I rather choose Si Won for her. The story as I have said earlier isn't really that amazing and was really predictable. Acting wasn't that amazing too but was still bearable. Sometimes I hated the main female lead and I think the role doesn't suite her at all. Maybe its just me but I'm not really happy with this drama and I think they dont deserve the rating they have in viki, even when they gave us a happy ending.
