Valuable lessons for both men and women

Refreshing take on the romance between stars and regular people, in the way there is nothing ordinary about the leading lady. She is beautiful and fearless, needing no rescue from any knight. Both however are brutal toward the opposite sex, which is the only thing - beside the violence that was so exaggerated and unnecessary, not in the slightest way funny! - that bothered me here. I have learnt that the way people behave with other people shows their character and how they might behave towards you once the spark leaves the relationship - and that's why I didn't really find that amusing. However the characters in the story did change their ways and became better people, and their relationship really was sweet and mature. I liked also that they weren't shying away from the steamy kiss scenes too, that made their relationship more believable.

The bromance between Won-Joon and Kang-Ho was great and quite hot, so if you are into LGBT, you might like it.

I wasn't impressed by supporting roles though. Na-Eun seemed to me too girly and weak, and I couldn't figure out Won-Joon's character. It might be the script's fault, because he was just the same toward everyone. For what I've seen he could have been in love with Ms Choi, Grace, Kang-Ho and Na-Eun equally, his emotions were everywhere.

Overall, if you can get past the gratuitous violence, you may like this story. It is not only because of sweet love-hate romance. The message here is strong that people are not objects to be played with, both women and men, and reputation is just an euphemism for slavery to fickle and generally vicious public opinion. That's what makes these kinds of stories hard to believe to, because we know in today's world it's impossible to maintain healthy relationships under the constant scrutiny of the public eye. This series tried to show us how cruel and inconsiderate public can be, and maybe somebody watching this can learn something from it.
