She dint try to match him she was too closed up it was annoying. The other actors tried too but not too much to stand out. I liked the girl from the kitchen with the titudes she was refresshing though she dint say much but he presence was fun to watch. The Secretary was great too

Fairly fun and promising, but I expected more...
This drama is a fairly fun watch and the story started on a very promising note, there are so many things that could have been explored in this drama from what is being told in the story and you do get answers to some of your questions along the way but I felt like many things went unanswered and/or passed on throughout the advancement of the episodes, there were things that were blatantly left hanging.There is a point where there were one too many flashbacks, in fact so much so that I started skipping said flashbacks because I grew tired of them. It's like where they didn't have something meaningful to go with they stuck a flashback to fill it out, so basically half-way through the story it becomes more 'filler' than story with the whole flashback from the past thing specially on the last 2 episodes.
I don't really have any complaint about the actors but the characters/roles they were given to play goodness, it felt like some had a backstory missing or something. Then there were the moments where things were just a little too much, I am all for romance and kissing but particularly on the last episode there was a kissing scene that became a little too much for what I am used to from k-dramas and not only that it felt a bit too forced in a manner...the scene wasn't planned well enough to make it feel more natural and less cringey. Yes, I did indeed actually cringed.
Overall this is a good drama to watch on the side, specially if you are looking for something short in between other dramas or while you find something new to watch then this is great. I don't regret watching it, but I didn't enjoy the ending very much because it left too much unsaid and it felt like more could have been said if they hadn't thrown in so many dang flashbacks into the story/episodes, I truly believe that many flashbacks was unnecessary.

first of all (Song Ji Eun) the way she used to talk with is so provoking at the first episodes specially when she make her lips like the duck i want to slap her on the mouth to put her lips back in the right place really she is that first korean actress that provoked me that much although her face is so cute but i hate her for the way she is talking with uuuuugh >_<
& the hair cut for sung hoon when he made his hair falls on his eyes was extremely awful & made his head big like the aliens
really i am a big fan of rom.com dramas
but this drama disappointed me cause i had great expectations for it
it's that kind of dramas to watch it just once when u need to empty ur mind
but it's not strong story that can leave mark inside u or remarkable or to watch it another time easily
& too long with no need with repetitive scenes it'll be much better if they reduce it just 10 ep. no more
may be many 'll see my opinion so harsh
but really i saw the plot empty, normal, shallow
& so antagonistic in a bad way & so predictable
even the heart warming moments i didn't feel them except 3 or 4 times from the whole touchy moments cause i felt most of them were fabricated not smooth or normal & i found it illogical to love someone & to change ur self & ur life 180 degree like that just for one night relation
i think i am going to be the black sheep for those previous lines LOL
i found the episodes slowly with unnecessary details with lots of flash backs & focusing only at the 2 main leads
SPOILER
& i found the relation between (Jung Da Sol) & (Kim Jae Young ) was illogical at all
suddenly they fall for each other after loving the main leads for long years??
the writer didn't even give us an introduction for any relation signs between them
& there were many mistakes one of them like the child's age
sung hoon & song ji didn't see each other again after one night relation for 3 years so how could the baby age 3 years it should be only 2
they didn't even said why his mother left him & didn't try to see him once even if she left his father ??
& the end was provoking for me didn't get the reason for what (Song Ji Eun) did AGAIN cause sung hoon already new all her circumstances then why? except that they should turn it melodrama at first
& for me the last kissing scene when they decided to return to each other at the company was horrible
too long with no need so i saw it fabricated not superfine & normal as it should be
there were lots of missing elements in this drama that probably can make it stronger than that
i hope Sung Hoon 'll make a drama that really suits his talent with strong plot cause i really like his acting

A Fairly Typical Romantic K-Drama
As far as romantic K-dramas are concerned, this one is pretty typical and predictable. Frankly, I prefer romantic K-dramas that think more outside of the box. Such series like "Lovestruck in the City," "Because This Is My First Life," to infinitely far superior series like "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" or "Crash Landing on You" are far more preferable.Still, the series works, for the most part, despite the significant drop-off in the last three or four episodes that had me waiting for the series to just finally end with the repetitive cliched formulas. I mean, how many times can a girl run away and have the guy chase after her? Once, okay. Twice, and you're pushing it. More than that, and it because tedious and completely overused. Such plot devices show a lack of creativity on the writers' part.
We also have the typical, "only a rich man can save a woman." It's sad that this is such a misused and overused plot device that must seriously mirror the cultural norms of Asian countries. How sad that nothing can be further from the truth.
So, we have the spoiled, rich son of corporate tycoon who is conceited and only interested in his own pleasures. However, Jin-Wook might be said to have grown and matured the most by the end of the series. He is also not afraid to step out of his father's shadow and go against the norm. He will also speak his own mind.
Then, we have the relatively shy, immature, and very insecure Yumi who sees herself as a victim of what everything thinks about her and her mother (who happens to be a former adult film actress). Yumi has no idea how to take life by the reins and not care about what everyone thinks. She blames everyone else for her problems, which also tends to make her quite the coward. She fabricates stories and excuses to hide her insecurity as well as the shame she feels regarding her mother. And when things blow up (as you know they will in K-dramas like this one!), she again blames everyone else for the messes that she, herself, creates. In short, she is incapable of taking any kind of responsibility for herself and her actions. And somehow, she no longer needs glasses after the second or third episode!
Of course, we also have the friends (one man and one woman) who each also have feelings for our two protaganists. After all, it wouldn't be a standard K-drama without at least one. One is a spoiled newscaster who thinks the world revolves around her. The other is a quiet, shy young man, who is much like Yumi herself. He failed to help her as a classmate, and now he sits in the shadows with anger and jealousy for his own ineptitude.
Despite all of these things, the show still works. Perhaps it's because of the obvious chemistry between the two leads. For the first nine or ten episodes, I was also hopeful that this wouldn't end up being a typical K-drama, as I found himself quite vested in the story, which started to crumble in the last few episodes and became very typical.
Frankly, I'll keep seeking out series like the ones I mentioned above; those writers who are capable of writing something new, different, and something that pushes the envelope. I find those types of show far more enjoyable!

Para ser honesta esperaba mucho de este drama. Por muchos lados había visto avances acerca de esta serie y de verdad me llamaba la atención pero me decepciono un poco.Para empezar, se que es de una cadena televisa diferente poco conocida pero para mi eso fue clave ya que el tipo de imagen algo tenia que se veia diferente a los otros.
En cuanto a la historia, estuvo bonita como los personajes se conocieron y que durante 3 años aun seguian sientiendo lo mismo a pesar de haber sido algo de una sola vez. No me gustaron para nada los personajes "antagonicos" . Muy simples, no luchaban como muchos otros personajes secundarios lo han hecho. El cast adulto tampoco me gusto nada, me parecieron muy aburridos y siempre en lo mismo. Y en cuanto a los protagonistas, Sung Hoon es muy guapo y aun le falta para mi gusto, las escenas de los besos estuvieron bien pero se me hacia una exageración la manera en el que el se le lanzaba a ella. Y en cuanto a Song Ji Eun , ella es mi favorita de SECRET y me gusto mucho verla actuar, también le hace falta experiencia pero no estuvo mal. En sí la historia carecía de algun tipo de problema o circunstancia. Los primeros episodios estuvieron bien pero ya en el 5 era asi casi lo mismo, para mi gusto fue mucho relleno, y este drama de 14 episodios bien pudo haber sido de 8.

DECENT SHOW BUT I DEMISE MALE LEAD
Honestly I saw a comment saying only watch this if you're into rom dramas and they're 100% right. Dont even give it a chance if you're not into romantic drams because you'll find it boring. Personally I feel like they could have done more, I honestly expected more from this drama but it gave me enough to recommend it to another personNow let me address why I dislike the male lead, this is definitely a bias that comes from having watched LOVE, MARRIAGE, and DIVORCE, but I like actually hate his face. Every time I watched this show I just imagined the character he plays in that drama and it made so irritated. That must mean his acting is pretty good if I felt such strong emotions towards him.
Anyway I recommend watching if you're a romance junky :)

Story: Disappointing! From the first epsiode to the last was too fast paced. There was some back story to the characters but it is not something that reeled me in. I felt like this could have been a better drama if the director would have included more of a twist but literally all this drama did was go in a straight line, no suspense or anything. There was some fuuny scenes that made me laugh.
Acting: The only good thing about this drama was the acting. I felt that Sung Hoon was putting in his all (not trying to be bias) but the girl protagonist was too awkward in her role. The acting to Sung Hoon's secretary and his love interest was funny to watch (in a good way) as well as the the girl protagonist younger sibling.
Overall I would not rewatch this drama, seeing it the first time was enough for me.

A good typical drama!
I watched this like almost three years ago, and i thought it was pretty cute. The show itself was pretty short and i enjoyed watching it. It's probably gonna be cringe if i rewatch, but i like cringe so i think i would still give it the same 8/10. It's very cliche, but its a good classic watch. Maybe if you don't like cringey a$$ romance, then you probably won't like it, but i like this genre, so i enjoyed it. I even rewatched it when i was stuck with a fever and nothing to do. Overall, i recommend if you want to watch a cliche romance drama.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Light,fluffy and the right amount of cliches
I love Sung Hoon since Oh My Venus and My perfect marriage revenge so whatever I saywill be biased but for the sake of it,here we go.
I have gone back in time to watch old dramas,going back to 2014 when directors
really took their job serious and the current oppas were still doing some serious acting
and the writers were not misserable.
My secret romance is from that Era.Its fluffy,and the story is light,I think I was coming from
watch a heavy plot,so i needed to relax.
The story is not original,normal 2nd generation Chaebol falls in love with a regular girl, just
from this you already know whats coming next.The only difference was the fact that they
started their relation backward.From a one night stand to love.It normally take 12 episodes
for the leads to hold hands but they went straight to it and this made viewers excpect things
to be tough ahead but honestly the time jump made the whole thing go smoothly.
Its a piece you enjoy on a lazy saturday afternoonenvironment you might finish it in one sitting.
The only negative thing is the overuse of flashbacks but i think i have seen worse

Shouldn't be underrated drama
During this quarantine time, I have just finished watching the drama, and surprisingly I feel empty after that, I laughed and cried a lot, and I need a re-watch again. I didn't find any boring parts in the whole drama. The story is simple, but fun and cute. If you are looking for a love comedy, one single theme drama, it is highly recommend to watch. Most of the Kdramas can be classified as romance, but usually come with others, such as political (especially in historical drama), or business, or the society problem etc. However, this one mainly focus on the main lead's love story.The main leads couples bring great chemistry, it is real. They are so natural and their kiss scenes makes you feel heart pumping. When I watch other Kdramas, even for extremely good storyline, if there are no chemistry between them, I didn't enjoy the drama at all.
Moreover and amazingly, the two main leads can sing well, and when listened to their songs OST, I will remember all the romantic parts on them. I have watched the whole drama for two times, and I will rewatch again for sure.

Want RomCom
This is a conflict driven romance/drama. Both leads have issues with betrayal. So the series start with the plot pretty much laid out . What makes this so delectable are your main characters. Sung Hoon a true alpha male & Song Ji Eun the cute girl, who needs her big strong man. Sung Hoon can make any heart flutter, he is handsome, his voice is strong & he brings a sensitivity to this character. I love how they brought in the swimming since he came from a professional swimming background. Song Ji Eun played that girl, you know the adorable , the beautiful, but cute, but strong, but needs her man & has so much angst from her upbringing. All in all it is a series I could watch over and over. Whenever a person needs that feel good hit this is a must have. Not to mention the supporting cast was stellar, there wasn't any bad acting that I could see .Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
