A promising start.

This is a promising start! It's very straight forward. No flashbacks. AND we get a feel for all the characters so far. Bravo!

Part of me was really hoping that sisters, Gong Shim and Gong Mi, would be friends. I really want a drama where sisters, or the women, would have some kind of loving and close relationship. It can get tiring always have the leading ladies "cat fight" it out.

Gong Shim is awesome! I adore her. The fact that she stood up for herself to her family was moving. Just as it was heartbreaking to see how they've treated her and keep on treating her. Self worth can be hindered by those you love most, or are supposed to love you most. When she finally admitted that she was also embrassed by herself I wanted to jump in the drama and give her a big hug. I'm hoping this drama will let Gong Shim bloom from the "beast" into a beauty. Whether she gets a makeover or not. I want her to be happy.

The setup for the guys, Dan Tae and Joon Soo, was setup and solved already!! Ha-ha. I'm thinking that their story will focus on them becoming friends. Then the "discovery" will happen. Either way I really like both male leads and love that right now they're friends. Or at least a budding friendship. I also like that both have already met Gong Shim.

Meeting Gong Mi will come later I assume. It's said that Seo Hyo Rim seems to always be stuck playing such cold and allufe characters. Like I said, I really wanted to see some heart warming sister action. Oh, well. I really loved seeing the sexism issue at work for her though. It sucks being told by your boss that you've just been hired for eyecandy and you have to keep the male clients' attention. I'm wondering how sexual harassment in the work place is really handled in Korea. Because if you judge from dramas these ladies just don't get cut at the paychecks.

This drama was sweet and hilarious. Gong Shim's clever bike bell antics were priceless. I also loved how her honesty and bluntness with the guys shocked them. It's clear to me Gong Shim could very well turn out to be one of my fave female leads. The setup for how everyone ties together is pretty fun. And despite that I wanted the sisters to be friends I enjoy the face off that's being setup. (Duh, I'm on Gong Shim's side.)

Unexpectedly Awesome

It was 3am and I just was not gonna sleep and so I decided to watch a drama and I ended up starting this one. So far, I am not disappointed. Kong Shim is a very interesting lead character (although figuring out her age is hard) the girl who plays her has a unique speaking voice and is a very realistic crier. So far there is a lot of the whole miscommunication thing. She thinks her neighbor is a gangster, her sister has to face potential job loss as well as possible sexual harassment and Kong Shim is having a hard time do to the assult and just generally feeling belittled. If the sister and the parents expressed that she mattered she'd be more understanding to their point of view to not sue but everything she held in came out and now her pride will drive her to sue no matter what. I understand how that can feel. I also liked how the lawyer is so unexpectedly unprofessional, casual and bum-like but he's really great and bounces off Kong Shim well (I especially loved the morning cuddles hehe). The man who is suspected to be his cousin is really likeable as well and I feel bad that the grandma treats him poorly but I sense a total bromance brewing and I am not mad about it
