This drama left my mouth agape in shock quite a few times, which is a first for me lol ^^;;. Watch with caution, 'cos land mines are everywhere LOL. I love how this drama is different from the typical dramas, and I can't say anymore without letting out major spoilers, so I'll stop here. Do watch it!
We have a lot of those female leads whose characters seem like too kind, too stupid, for no reason. Gae In is different; she seems to know that her views on certain things are different from the norm, but she's honestly confused about why that is so, for she feels that she's right. I love Son Ye Jin's acting here. Everything she does seem very natural; it doesn't seem like she's acting at all. Thumbs up! She was very good in acting out Gae In's vulnerability. I burst into tears when Gae In said that she wouldn't mind marrying Jin Ho even if it's just as a cover-up in episode 10. Seriously, OUCH. And she's very adorable :)). I think she looks kinda like Han Ga In. Both are pretty ^^.
Lee Min Ho is handsome. No, scratch that. He's not, actually. He's got a nose that makes him look mean and he's not all that special-looking. But he's got eyes that would draw you in. His gaze says that he knows more than he lets on, and if he has that gaze with teary eyes -- which I think is his forte -- I'd bet you wouldn't be able to tear your eyes off him. And he's slim, tall and he has loooong legs, which make him look good in whatever he wears. I like his fashion here too; the casual office wear is nice. OKAY I SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS LOOKS. *ahem*
I think Lee Min Ho chose the right role to act, after Boys Over Flowers. They are similar but can't be more different. Jun Pyo is cute because he's silly, Jin Ho is cute because he's innocent; Jun Pyo keeps a straight face and has an air of arrogance, Jin Ho keeps a straight face and has an air of cool nonchalance. Jun Pyo turned hard in the later episodes because of circumstances, Jin Ho turned himself hard because of circumstances. The angst, man; THE ANGST. He's so conflicted inside that I find it hard even looking at him. He's so complicated, from his past, down to his expressions. He's so serious, but thinking about how he grew up, it makes sense. I like how matter-of-fact he is. Lee Min Ho did so well in portraying Jin Ho! I love his little smile when he thinks about/looks at Gae In, and his complicated expressions. He got lotsa close-ups, which allowed him to show off his acting. Seriously, how come I hadn't seen him before BOF o___o?!
Chang Ryul is such a wimpy jerk, but he's not heartless and he's such a softie that I can't hate him. BUT he's such a contradicting, fickle good-for-nothing that he makes me so mad sometimes. I liked him A LOT better when he wasn't such an immature asshole, though, which was in Episode 12. That has a lot to do with Kim Ji Suk, whom I find to be very likeable, actually ^^. Really, if from the beginning Chang Ryul was a nice guy who was as adorable as he became in that episode, Jin Ho would have a serious competition HAHA!
I forgot that Seulong was in this drama, haha ^^;;. He looks so young here! I think something looks off with his hair though; it looks too flat. And the make-up artist went overboard with his lipstick, lol. He's cute though x).
I LOVE Sang Jun! He's SO HILARIOUS LOLOL. I love how he totally pulled off the "gay" part, and how unabashedly frivolous he is. In Hee is a beautiful bitch, and while I don't agree with the saying that we should be more forgiving to beautiful people, her being a bitch doesn't change the fact that she's SO PRETTY. But she's a crazy, shameless bitch, alright. The actor who played Director Choi is SO good, like seriously. He didn't get that much screen-time, but he made me feel really sorry for/uncomfortable because of/with him. His portrayal of Director Choi killed me, a lot of times.
The NG scenes are so adorable! The cast seems very close :).
Favourite line from the drama: "Let's go out and fight some more." HAHAHA!
AND AND one of the soundtracks, the song Like A Fool by 2AM, is now my favourite song of the band. It's SUCH an awesome song.
