Story
The story is about Bo Nui who is highly supersticious and will do everything possible to avoid getting bac luck for her, but especially others. It doesn't matter how far she has to go to achieve a sense of security. Then there is Soo Ho who believes only in truths and facts. Two world that couldn't be more apart, but slowly entertwine in a way that (in my opinion) couldn't have been any more perfect.
The pacing of the story is done well. The emotions and jokes, I felt, were well-balanced. They also didn't always show things in full, revealing a small thing later that would give certain situations a small twist. I really, really liked these little twists and extra information that they gave you.
There was only a small moment somewhere between eps 10-15 that I started to feel a bit of a drag. I'm not sure if the plot is to blame, or just my own attention shifting as happens more often with me. However, when I went back to finish the last 2 episodes I had absolutely no trouble getting straight back into the story, even though more than a month had already passed! (If not already 2.)
I feel like all the most prominent characters were giving plenty of story and screen time. I don't feel like there are unfinished stories left, which is often the case in dramas. It's a story with a happy ending and I feel this fits the plot well, considering all the bad luck that's been going on through-out it. It's a feel-good romance for sure with plenty of laughs and tears.
Let me also add that the ending didn't feel rushed as is also often the case!
Acting/Cast
I think the characters were well casted. I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of Jung Eum who played the lead female Bo Nui. But the things that usually annoy me about her, I couldn't find in this drama. (I can't quite put into words what annoys me either.) So that, for me personally, was quite a relief.
I really, really enjoyed Ryu Joon Yeol as Je Soo Ho. If you ask me, he was just perfect. He was cute and awkward one moment and another he was cool and reliable. The way he showed his characters development felt really smooth to me and I just cannot praise this man enough. I really fell in love with his acting and his character thanks to that.
The other casts, as said, are also well chosen. The characters that were meant to be funny actually felt funny to me. And that's not always the case for me. So a job well done! :)
Music
Junsu.
The moment I heard his voice, I was sold. I absolutely loved the song he sang for this drama. It fit the mood so well. Fangirling aside - overall I really did enjoy all of the OST. Though Junsu jumped out for me personally, being a real fan of his sound, I found myself enjoying the music more often. It made me notice it in a positive way and it really held my hand - allowing me to feel the scenes and emotions all the better through-out the story. And man - did it help make me cry here and there.
Rewatch Value
High! I didn't expect it when I first read about this drama, but man - I was pulled in so easily. Though the plot isn't going to be a whole big surprise anymore, I feel like the acting totally makes up for that. I'm sad I no longer get to enjoy Joon Yeol's acting, but it is comforting to know I can always rewatch it. To me, he really is the star of this drama.
