This is the first drama I watched in the half an hour format, and I felt it contributed to the repetitiveness of the story. The plot itself didn't seem to have enough for 40/20 episodes, and because they were only half an hour long, you could expect a rewind in the beginning of each. There were also A LOT flashbacks. It took me nearly a month to finish this drama, when I can easily get through them within a week.

I am a big Ji Chang Wook fan, and I didn't know any of the other actors in this, but they're good. I felt like the main female lead was a bit annoying, in the sense that she became completely dependent on the male lead through most of the story (in a financial, emotional and career related way). The romance was weak to me. It started off strong, but it became almost meaningless as the story progressed... which, in a way, was actually good, because the conflict was dragged for so long it would have been maddening if I had been anxiously waiting for those two to be together.

The two second leads were very likable, too, and I look forward to seeing them in other projects. I also enjoyed the soundtrack very much - the main theme isn't for me, but the love ballads in this are very beautiful.

Overall, this wasn't a bad drama, it just didn't really hold my interest.
