Full of cliches and ridiculous plot lines, I can see why some people would be turned off by it. But if you have ever found yourself wishing at the end of the drama that they would have spent a little more episode time at the end showing the happy couple doing happy lovey dovey things, then this drama is for you! That's not to say this drama is also roses and being happy, but they definitely do have a lot of couple stuff that most dramas miss out on because of all of the angst.
Though, there was plenty of angst for those who like an ample dash of it in their dramas. I personally hated the entire Yoon Joo storyline, and seriously, why even make Sang Hee a character if you are just going to forget he exists after episode 8? And yes, it's true the last episode did seem a little pointless since by that point you knew how it was going to end. But when it's all said and done, this drama was a lot of fun to watch them try and work their way through the lies, and then try and figure out how to make it work once it wasn't a lie.
And, seriously. That coke kiss scene is so incredibly hot in context. I've seen the clip before and I have to say, it's not nearly as hot unless you have the episode before that with the karaoke kiss to compare it to that it becomes ridiculously hot :p Ki Joon was such a great leading male, I loved watching him. I can't believe how much I went from disliking his hair in the first episode (that man does not look good with bangs!) and hating his voice to loving him as much as I do now at the end. He was one romantic dude!
Anyway, before I make this even more unbearably long, I just want to say to give this drama a shot! You might just find out that it was worth the few days it takes to watch it :)

it was one of the best dramas I've ever watched!
the story was very funny and then it got really romantic
with every episode it gets better :D
but I got to say that I liked the first episodes more
it's diffidently worth watching and you won't regret watching it
I liked how they hated each other at first and then all of that hate changed.
The plot was amazing!!
& the characters are awesome and lovable
I hope you enjoy watching it!! :D

That being said, I don't think that it was the actors who were the problem. Yoon Eun Hye is my favorite actress, she's cute, isn't annoying, and can cry well. Although I wasn't a big fan of Kang Ji Hwan (I'm not sure if it was his voice or age, but I didn't find him too attractive), he cried on cue too and was very believable in his actions. Sung Joon was cute in the beginning when he had a good script, but kind of became annoying from the script change. He really had no purpose afterwards, and neither did the whole side girl thing or any of the story in the first half with the contract and everything. I felt like the new writers just tossed the old plot away and started a new uninteresting story altogether. Sorry, back to the acting (I can't seem to get over the script change). The friend was a good actress. I loved how believable her jealousy was with the chin quiver and everything. The aunt was pretty (just thought I'd throw that in there - it's hard for women to age that beautifully >___>). To sum it up, the acting was a 9 for me because I think they did very well to try to make such a cruddy script as entertaining as it could be with their actions.
Though some people say that the music was childish, I thought that the ending song in the first half was actually catchy. It was edgy and fit the whole "try to make your friend jealous/ in your face" concept. I also liked one of the slower songs at the end (This is Really Goodbye - M to M). While I do agree that some of the background music just faded into the background and seemed unnoticeable, I felt that the people in charge of the music for this show did a good job matching the music to the mood.
Obviously since this show went downhill, the re-watch value for this is a 1 for me. Overall I'd give it a 6 since my favorite actress is in it and the beginning was entertaining. I wouldn't recommend this to people even though it had a good beginning because it'll just lead to disappointment in the end since the story isn't really finished, but rather, they give you a new and bland love story.

Acting/Cast - The two main characters fit well together. I fell in love with their bond. Cast was chosen well and Ki Joon gives off the appearance of a true businessman.
Music - Personally, I didn't notice it too much since it blended well with the drama. When I did notice, the songs were nice to listen to and go well with the scene playing at that time.
Overall - I was watching two fully aired dramas at once. This one took precedence over the other.

At first I was terrified by the reviews this drama got, but I took the chance. Now at 6 am after finishing the last couple of episodes, I decided to be nice and write a review. Why? Because this drama really surprised the heck of me. I loved every bit of it. I even got the biggest crush on the male lead even though his voice were kind of funny sometimes^^
The story overall was good, it's a typical love story drama. However, even though it's typical this drama weighs it up with the lovely cast, cute music and superb acting.
When it's comes to acting I fell in love with every character, and I love how the actors managed to portray the feelings the characters had. The music was indeed good, and I can promise you that you'll be humming this line; "Ice cream Ice-cream sarang dugeundugeun sangsang"
Overall this drama is definitively one of my favorite dramas, I loved it! So I advice you to stop reading reviews and actually start watching the drama, you will not regret!

The supporting cast was pretty good, but their stories were disappointing. Sung Joon was my favorite supporting character in the beginning, but after a while it was clear that his story wouldn't develop, and his acting started to feel forced. Hong Soo Hyun was fun as the annoying rival/friend, and I loved to hate her. Jo Yoon Hee didn't have a strong enough presence as the ex fiance, and I grew tired of her really quickly
What kept me watching this drama until the end was the chemistry between Yoon Eun Hye and Kang Ji Hwan. The story starts to get really cheesy in the last episodes, but I still loved seeing them together. The ending tries too hard to be meaningful, but it was way too corny for my taste. I can't see myself rewatching this drama from the beginning, but I admit to revisiting a few of my favorite scenes. I loved the "cola" scene, and the karaoke scene made sure that "Ice cream" song was stuck in my head for weeks!

Kang Ji Hwan plays the rich, arrogant, and absolutely sweet Ki Joon. I think he is an excellent actor. Side note…If you get the chance, then you should watch the Korean Movie Rough Cut. He is excellent in that and it shows just how versatile of an actor he is.
Yoon Eun Hye plays the quirky, adorable Ah Jung. There are times when I am disappointed in this character. It is because of the writing and has nothing to do with her acting ability. I have seen everything she has been in except The Vineyard Man. I think I will watch it next, because it has Oh Man Suk in it and I adore him too. Anyway, she is a great actress!!!
This also has Sung Joon in it from Shut Up: Flower Boy Band. Don’t watch this if you are expecting to see a lot of him, because his part isn’t prominent.
I loved Kwon Se In as Park Hoon, he is absolutely endearing. The other side characters are good too.
The music is ok, but nothing special.
I will probably watch this anytime I want to watch something light hearted and sweet. I even love the cheesy parts.
I recommend this drama based on the acting. Like I said the story isn’t in any way original, but it is still good.
