Sweet Stranger and Me started off with a lot of potential - especially for a show with such a cringey sounding premise. I mean...girl falls for her stepfather?? Say what? But as you get into the story, you'll be telling people..."but it's not really LIKE that!" I don't want to give away the plot, but it's not as icky as the summary makes it sound at ALL. I was drawn to this show and only gave it a chance because of Kim Young Kwang. He won me over in Go Ho's Starry Night, and I needed to see something else he was in. Luckily for me, this show was starting just about the same time as I finished the other. For me, he was the best thing about this show. I think that I would have dropped it completely about 3/4 of the way through if it had not been for his cute little smiles and Nan Gil's "heart eyes" for Na Ri. Soo Ae's acting didn't blow me away, but she wasn't horrible. Lee Soo Hyuk plays the second lead, and as always plays so aloof that it's hard to get a read on him. Jo Bo Ah as Yeo Joo was easy to hate at first, but she grew on me. However, I read that several were just annoyed by her altogether. The bad part is that the writers sort of just forgot to give her a reason to even be in the story after the first few episodes. It really felt like she was tacked on to the rest of the group with no real reason to even be in their midst any longer. She just kept showing up for no explainable reason. The writers also set up a way more interesting story than we received in the end. It started off fairly strong and then sort of petered out as it wore on. I wouldn't re-watch this and I would only recommend it to KYK fans if you just REALLY need to watch him in something. I was pretty disappointed in how this one played out.
