I had high expectations for this drama based on the reviews and high ratings. Unfortunately it didn’t meet those, perhaps unrealistic, expectations. I thought the plot would have been much better with some adjustments to the timing of things and if they had done the latter half a lot differently. This drama could have been significantly shorter and told the same story.

It bothers me in most of these cross-dressing/disguise dramas that the guy that knows the other person is actually a female, but doesn’t tell them that they know the truth when they have developed feelings for said person. Just tell the truth and that way both of you can be yourselves and develop a relationship nicely instead of the guy playing along with the secret, the girl tells the truth, and then they’re like “I already figured out you were a girl” leading to a very stereotypical scene of the girl acting shocked that they knew and when did they find out. It would lead to much better chemistry between the leads as well, which I felt was somewhat lacking.

The acting I felt overall was rather mediocre. A lot of it was meant to be over the top, which I can appreciate in many cases, but in this case everything just seemed too overdone or silly. The accidental kiss scenes -I’m looking right at you. The male lead was definitely a stronger actor than the female lead, and he being eye candy was the best part about this drama.

I liked the side characters in this drama and I felt a lot of them were developed nicely, and it seemed like their stories would make a better plot than the main one.

Will I watch this again or recommend it to my friends? No, because I feel there are better dramas with disguised female leads to enjoy such as You’re Beautiful or Sungkyunkwan scandal. I’d rewatch those any day over this.
