As I mentioned when I reviewed "7 First Kisses", If you are going to enjoy this series, you have to take it for what it is. It is a very long commercial for LOTTE Duty Free and it is meant to be FLUFF. Don't expect high drama here as it is not supposed to be that.

I knew that this was a long commercial when I started watching, so I enjoyed the series a lot. I was very excited because Super Junior's Lee Teuk is in this series because I had seen him in lots of variety shows, but not in any dramas, so was looking forward to seeing him in this short series. He does well in it...as do all the actors and actresses in the show. It's not really a series where anyone outside the female lead is going to stand out too much because except for her, many of the other characters are only in about one episode.

The only small complaint I had about this show, was that it seemed like the writers were not quite sure what the main goal was. I say that because I wasn't sure what they were trying to say even as I watched it. I guess the "takeaway" is supposed to be that if you work hard enough, have confidence in yourself, and use the right products that anyone can be beautiful. However, it's a message that is a bit muddied at times. It's not really a "Cinderella" type story, but it's also not a "pick yourself up by your own bootstraps" type story. Whatever the story is though, it's a fun way to spend an hour or so.

So, if you are looking for a fluffy short series that is easy to watch and light on emotional traumas, then this might be just the show for you. Enjoy!
