Common sense found in a dead ditch.
Where do I even start? I honestly don't know. This drama was such a drag for me. I tried my best to keep in mind that this drama is 10 years old, and I've seen it before and remembered liking it very much. But this rewatch, it just made me feel so annoyed and disappointed.
I have tolerated a lot of things from old, cheesy romcoms but I could not stand this one. First, for the good things: I absolutely love the strength of Ha Ji Won's character here. Gil Ra Im is very logical, right amount of being emotional and is such a practical, realistic person. Another thing I'd like to compliment here is the beautiful OSTs. I am honestly not so familiar with Hyun Bin, but he looks good. Those were pretty much the reasons why I tried my best to finish this, but it was not enough. Gil Ra Im is the complete opposite of Kim Joo Won, and you may argue that opposites attract, but I beg to differ in their case. I just find the attraction being too sudden, and the hints of her supposed emotions for Joo Won is pretty much non-existent and only became solidified when she actually said it. I couldn't believe how ridiculous that was, and I did not find that believable at all. Kim Joo Won is a complete asshole. I don't know what else I can add, but I was not for once attracted to his personality. A couple of characters in the drama mentioned that he'd changed after knowing Gil Ra Im, and I appreciate that, but the change was not enough for me to forgive his mistakes and overall arrogance and selfishness.
With that being said, I would also like to apologize to my mom for never finishing this. She motivated me after I ranted about the middle bit of this whole series, but I could not take it anymore.
I dedicate my 1 star for Ha Ji Won, half star for Hyun Bin, another half for their cute moments. The last star is for the OST, while baby Yoo In Na and Lee Jong Suk can share the last half star.
