There were cool things about this drama but also lots of crap. Actor Yoon Eun Hye tried a boss/princess type role and she was so-so at it which made it kinda frustrating. I know she’s a good actress, (Ive seen some of her good performances which include some parts in this very drama) and I'm not even saying the role doesn't suit her or anything like that. Thing is, I don't know if it was due a lack of appropriate practice/rehearsal but she seemed to fall in and out of her role at times. Sometimes it seems she’s playing the role quite right and next you catch her so very out of character which I presume are traces of her character in reality. Her character suffers a huge blow for this as it makes the character less believable which is supposed to be the whole point of acting. Partial blame on the script though. The character written for her is quite far from being a chabol its supposed to be. It would've more believable if she was simply the daughter of some wealthy man. Chabol was setting their aims too high as they weren't consistent with the image through the production. Anyways I just find myself making the -____-" face a lot.
Next is the story & plot. Lets get over the bad first. There are quite a lot of cheezy parts, which I found annoying and there are some severely unrealistic stuff. Some I could laugh off and some had me with the long face again. I could just visualize the script writers and directors not being able to come up with good enough ideas so they just got lazy or something and went along the easy-crappy route. Also there were times I didn't quite like Kang Hye Na’s style. Though I’d consider it stylish, I perceived it as too derogatory to her as an actor and person. Some might count is as sex appeal though but I just happen to care for her image as person? (kinda like brotherly love I guess? Yea we're far from being related but please get my point -_-") And therefore I wasn't pleased with it. And lastly a good part of the story was predictable but maybe that's just me.
Regardless no need to worry there is enough good stuff in this drama for us viewers which is why its able to get an 8/10 from me. The story, though very typical k-drama style, can surely hold even the interest of long time viewers. And there are also great supporting actors. Like really. Yoon Eun Hye is probably the only actor I had an issue with. You’ll also find the good chunk of comedy in this drama and that helped a great deal.
Overall I felt this drama seemed like "just another job" to some of its creators (its lacking that special love & great attention to detail) but due to their professionalism it still ended up ok. Good for them.
