I found it hard to like Song Yi for the first couple of episodes. She was so rude and entitled, it was difficult to root for her, but thankfully her awful behavior lessened as the show went on.
The leads had amazing chemistry and were great. Their interactions were believable and the emotional scenes felt real. I didn't cry at any point, but this has to be one of the top 5 dramas I've seen, that isn't inherently sad, where characters cry at least once each episode. And very convincingly, mind you.
The supporting characters were also very good. I particularly loved Hwi Kyeong, with his steadfast, unwavering love for Song Yi (he was so sweet, I wouldn't have been mad if the show had ended with a trouple forming LOL), the friend with the comic book store who continually fell in love with every good looking guy she saw and also Song Yi's bratty little brother.
Honestly, for a 21 episode show, it didn't feel that long. It did drag a bit at certain times, but there were surprisingly few "flash-back" scenes, and lots of interesting, interconnecting plots that kept things fresh and moving along nicely.
The OST was a bit cheesy, but maybe that has to do with when this drama came out? IDK.
All in all, story-wise, nothing too mind blowing, but with very strong performances all around that make it worth watching.
I still don't like the two morally and cynically bankrupt leads. Love, lovel, love the friend she's so good in this, so different. Also can't wait to see more about the serial killer brother. Why does the lead actress look so old?!?
how did he stay alive after all those kisses?
Either Do Min-Joon is either badly written or badly acted ; its quite a mystery
Song-Yi (My Sassy Girl) is the life of this show ; she get more funny midway of the series when we less of her arrogance after humbling circumstances
Jae-Kyung is a bold villain acted well. This is a good show but should have been compressed into 10 episodes ; definitely dragged out for ratings( like most K-Dramas)
This show was my first introduction to Korean drama. I really enjoyed it! Aside from learning a little about Korean culture, the story was very engrossing. The side characters and side plots were interesting, also. Overall, a very fun show, and it made me interested in watching more Korean dramas!
I didn't like how the MC was written, but the series was good. It could have been better, but not by much
Good protagonist actress! The male character is the same playing sam dong in dream high if i'm not wrong...both played good in this drama...
just watch it! it's. whort it

The second half of the show kinda drags a bit - the way Korean shows add scenes that don't add much to the story, and you can tell the scriptwriter changed things to accommodate the TV ratings - but the first half of the story, and some of the side story lines (e.g. Lee Jaekyung conspiracy, and the detectives) make the show worth finishing to the end.
