I'm not the kind of person that likes romantic comedies, but this is an exception!!! This drama takes all the romantic comedy cliches and turns them upside down. I love the concept that we all live in a world with our eyes half closed so that even as we see reality, we can still dream. This isn't just true about love and money. This drama made me laugh and cry...yes, cry. Something I rarely do while watching a drama. Some melodramas can't keep me as emotionally invested as this romantic comedy did. Park Shi Hoo as Seung Jo totally blew me away. He was funny and just too cute at times, but when it was time for him to be serious it was flawless. When he cried it could be heart wrenching. Moon Geun Young as Se Kyung was also great. Her character was sweet and caring, hard and strong, insecure and scared, confident and secure. She portrayed everything and shows that there are different sides to everyone. Will Kim Ji Suk ever be the male lead in a drama??? He does so well as Tommy Hong, but I want him to be in a drama where he gets the girl!!! At first I really thought I might end up hating Yoon Joo played by So Yi Hyun, but I really ended with understanding and found her character redeemable. I totally hated In Hwa played by Kim Yoo Ri. She is just hateful for no reason. It isn't like she was in love and wanted to get the guy. I get those characters. She was just ticked off because she "lost" to some one that she felt was beneath her. bbbrrr She gives me the heebee jeebees. The other secondary characters were good also. The music was good. You should totally check out the OST Love Like This by K.Will. It is awesome. I would totally rewatch this in a heartbeat. I think that all romantic comedy lovers would enjoy this drama...even those that don't usually like that genre can appreciate this drama.
