Overall, this was a nice, uplifting story. Shin Sung Rok has very strong features and plays a bad guy well. This is the first time I've seen him as the main lead getting the girl. He's not your typical male "exuding handsomeness" lead or "flower boy" lead but he showed his funny and softer side. I didn't like his hairstyle here since it made him look odd but I guess it fits the role of an eccentric and genius fashion designer. The main female leads Go Won Hee and Ha Jae Sook did very well too. Cha Ye Ryun is still gorgeous and svelte after having a baby. Her shine didn't diminish at all. Also, don't get me started about Kim Min Kyu since he's cute and deserves to be the main lead in another new drama. Enough said. :)

As a side note, thinking that a plus size woman doesn't deserve respect and love, shows how shameful our society has become. People are obsessed with what beauty should look like, depending on which country they lived. In Asia where I was born, milky white skin is considered beautiful because of our darker color. Whitening soaps and whitening lotions abound everywhere. You can even have your skin "bleached" if you can afford it. In contrast, when I moved to the U.S., darker skin was viewed to be more beautiful and people try to get a tan or apply tanning lotions to get that "golden" look. It's the same with bodies, mostly everyone is obsessed with being skinny. It's partly endorsed by our media.

Although this drama shows the difference between a slim and a plus size woman, that's not what the main story is all about. You'll actually get lessons on what's really important in life. It's not the looks that really matters but how we carry and value ourselves. It also shows someone who loves a woman beyond her appearance and embracing all she is.
