Personal Opinion

I went into this series not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. My Saturdays and Sundays were quite boring, so I wanted a drama I could watch these days. I was pleasantly surprised. It's kind of a romantic comedy which I don't usually watch. It did get me to cry in the start when they explained the past to Sa Geum Ran. The first half was really good, but it got a little more boring towards the end. I liked the ending. It tied up all the loose ends, but I wished something more would happen at the end. It went a little to smoothly for it to be interesting. The love  between the main characters was a little off. I can't put my finger on it, but there was something I didn't like. That's why I don't give the drama a top score. 

All in all I enjoyed the drama and I give it a score of:  7.5 out of 10

NOTE: This was just my personal opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree.
