This drama relied heavily on metaphors, especially the "Big sun/little sun" amongst others. At times it was nicely done, a trademark of the Hong sisters if you will, but it was also a hinderance (I felt) when the characters talked in riddles. It made my head hurt trying to work out the mutiple double meanings in several conversations. Sometimes it pays just to cut to the chase!
That said, I didn't hate a single character, and I was supporting many pairings! How nice is that? To have a drama, where there isn't an evil stepmom or a jealous ex, waiting to swoop in and create un-necessary drama. For once, everyone was quite accepting of each others choices (with a few hiccups) and that was lovely to see.
Special mention to Chief Kang Woo and Tae Yi Ryung, very sweet side dish I must say.
For me ep 2, 9 and 10 were the weakest and ep 12 was the strongest. A big draw for me was the mystery of Cha Hee Joo/Hanna and that's what kept me watching for a while.
In the beginning, I felt the chemistry between Joong Won and Tae Yang was just right, but then for a few episodes I felt the romance was more of a very good friendship and I was finding it hard to connect to So Ji Sub's real emotion. The kisses were trademark Hong-style too. Wide eyes, arms by the side etc etc.
However by the end, I realised I was going to miss all the characters all the same, and although the saccharine lines were a bit much to swallow towards the end, I appreciated everyone's hard work and I reached the finale!!!
This drama is well worth the watch. Most likely drama of 2013, lol, though I haven't watched any other releases of 2013 yet. I don't give praise away lightly, so this drama has something going for it.
Enjoy watching everybody else. It will be a treat of epic proportions.
