Sweet, fluffy and funny, the kind of drama you watch with a smile on your face.
The story is nothing original. Actually, sometimes it looks like the writers were really trying to mix all clichés of dramaland: amnesia, chaebols, poor female lead, lost brother, forgotten childhood encounter, evil relatives who want to steal the inheretance... Everything is just so cliché, but when put together somehow this drama made it work. Maybe it's because they wrapped everything in a nicely cute and light atmosphere, endearing characters and funny situations.
I know it might be my bias talking, but I really love Seo In Guk here. Unlike many others male leads, Louis is lazy, irresponsible, spoiled and dowringht annoying at times. He has the riches, that's right, but he lacks common sense and drive to spend money wisely. Actually, he pretty much lacks common sense in all matters of life. He's like an overgrow kid and, althought exaggerated sometimes, it's adorable how he slowly begins to learn how the real word works. Obviously that by the end of the show he's still got a long way to go, but it's so refreshing seeing such a different male lead.
I also have to praise Nam Ji Hyun for delivering Bok Shil, who begins as a cliché poor female lead but grows and grows, turning into a capable, independent woman who can take care of not only herself but others as well. She acomplishes all that but still keeping her sweet, sometimes naive personality. Also, kudos for Yoon Sang Hyun as well, I feel that he was more the type of the conventional perfect male lead but with quirks and flaws that made him humorous and cute at the same time. His chemistry with In Guk was astounding and I couldn't stop laughing every time.
I think the real strenght of this drama lies on it's characters and their interactions, because let's be honest and say that the plot was a bit of a mess. Like mentioned before, it has a lot of clichés, but I think what really stops it from being a flaw at all is because this drama, althought a trainwreck, is still perfectly aware of it's absurdity and sometimes seems to play on that.
Don't watch this thinking it will be a super serious, consistent drama.I think you already guessed by seeing it's poster.
However, even though the plot is not exact a flaw, I would've liked better if the lenght was shorter. It could've been 14 episodes long and still solve everything, leaving no holes. But it was cute the final additions of their past.
All in all it's a good drama. Not the best out there, far from that, but a good entertainment for pretty much anyone.
(Also, I'll never listen "A Whole New World" the same way again after watching this haha. Please somebody tell me I'm not the only one >.<)
