Review: This drama is something I saw many years ago flipping through channels, but wasn’t allowed to watch. Thinking back to it now this was the first glimpse of a Kdrama I had ever had. This one had peeked my interest those many years ago. And was not a let down even with all the hype  I had been giving it. This drama is in the group That I like to the beginners’ dramas. I personally feel like its a good gage of how corny some dramas can be. This drama has 17 episodes. All of which are around an hour long. As well as having it dubbed in Spanish, what up my fellow latinos!

Review: This drama was a nice escape from the rich guy and poor girl type of dramas. Although it took me a while to really get into, once I did I binge watch the rest of the episodes. One of my favorite thing is that I felt like the pairing in this drama was perfect! So no heartbreak over the other male who where cast. Henry Lau was a good comic relief in this drama, he was adorable, funny, and not to mention had some English line as well. In the future I hope that Lau will get more dramas, maybe even a lead someday!
