This drama contains a potent mix of the most annoying Korean drama tropes - prideful and snobbish chaebol bosses and chaebol kids, an impoverished female lead, angst-filled bromances, boring scenes revolving around company politics, etc. The first part of the drama which took place in California featured some terrible American acting and terrible Korean Engrish. Cha Eun Sang, played by Park Shin Hye, does not know how to kiss, as seen from all of Park Shin Hye's other dramas. She is mostly tossed and bossed about in the show by the richer characters around her, until she suddenly decides, once in a while, to take charge of her own life and decisions. Girl, get a backbone! Choi Young Do, played by Kim Woo Bin, magically transformed from being one of the most hateful characters to almost having a bromance with Tan. That was really odd. This is one of Lee Min Ho's poorer dramas. After the strides he made with City Hunter, I don't know why he chose to return to a soppy chaebol show. Park Shin Hye didn't give a performance that compelled me to really side with her character. Kim Woo Bin certainly did well with the material he was given - one cannot blame him for having to play such a violent character, but he once again does well playing a angst-filled teenager, learning to forgive those who have hurt him (sounds like Heung Soo in School 2013!). I felt that the side characters had more interesting stories. Krystal's character, Bo Na, and Minhyuk's character, Chan Young, along with Hyungsik's character, Myung Soo, were the only cheery bits of this show. Add to that the hilarious relationship between Kim Tan's mum and Eun Sang's mum. Kim Ji Won's character, Rachel, started out as your vanilla hateful second female lead, but as more of her relationship with her mum was revealed, I began to partially understand her hateful attitude. The fate of Choi Jin Hyuk's character, Won, provides an interesting contrast to Tan's story, but too bad the show didn't delve that much into his character. Kang Haneul's character, Hyo Shin, has a pretty unsurprising backstory, but with KHN's charm I was really won over by him. And finally, LOVE IS FEELING, LOVE IS MAH PAIN, and LOVE IS THE MOMEEEEENNNNNT.
