Hate the dynamic, disrespect and diabolical 'friends'
This drama is the epitome of dog piss. The male lead is rude and inconsiderate, yet, the female lead keeps going back to him. The "friends" don't make any sense. They literally ruined a naive orphan's life — 15 years down the drain — yet people are expected to let them run loose without having a shred of guilt. And what's worse is, after ruining her life, they casually come back and she let's them in, like WTF?? Them being pregnant isn't anyone's responsibility — certainly not their writer friend's! And Haewon and Youngjae are a match made in heaven, they both want people just to screw with them. I'm on episode 10 but I'll be fast-forwarding just to end this nightmare. It's my fault I started watching this but the reviews were generally positive so it gave me hope, plus it was free on YouTube.If any one of you has any recommendations on kdramas with nice couples (no name-calling or humiliating) maybe close to strong woman do bong soon (so far, they've been the best couple I've seen, and all it took was for the girl to have superhuman strength lol but the male lead us pretty cute especially when he gets overexcited and flustered with her) Thanks :D

I think the main actors did a good job of portraying their characters. But I agreed with a different review saying how the story drags on. The majority of episodes are more like fillers.
Though I did find some parts to be heartwarming especially near the end of the show. I'll rate this a solid 8.5

Good To Pass Time!
Ji Eun, Young Jae, Min Hyuk and Hye Won.Who goes to a foreign country for the first time for a few days with no money?!
Apparently, the female lead in this one does!
There is an awful lot of yelling and arguing from the first episode to the last one between the two main actors and it kind of grows tiresome early on.
I did like Ji Eun, Young Jae and Min Hyuk, but didn't find all the humour or dialogue lines funny or that great at times.
The story was good in parts, but even that dragged in certain episodes.
I didn't know the actor of Ji Eun was the same one in The Glory that just came out! Very versatile it seems.
I didn't enjoy the music, most of the fashion nor Ji Eun's hair style until the last few episodes.
There are a lot of moths and flies whether inside the home, the office or even in the car. In a few shots you can see the shadow of the camera man as well as the equipment and this noticeable glare in all of the actors eyes like they all wore contact lens or something and a light reflected off of them.
What is good is this is light hearted on the most part and it is interesting seeing four different people when it comes to love.
Young Jae, a famous actor, has loved Hye Won for years only it is unrequited love plus they treat each other as close friends. He won't tell her because he doesn't want to be rejected or to lose her.
Hye Won on the other hand loves Min Hyuk who is a lady's man and doesn't reciprocate her feelings at all.
At a party Hye Won embarrasses Young Jae by putting him on the spot about him being in love with her so instead he declares his love and upcoming marriage to Ji Eun to save face only Ji Eun and him hardly know each other.
Ji Eun and Young Jae are actually together as her home has been illigally sold behind her back to him so she is trying to pay off a debt to him as well as get the house back.
As for Min Hyuk...
On receiving some of her written work as a writer to review he actually starts to fall for Ji Eun.
So, we have all these different individuals in love - just not with a person that loves them back!
What happens with all of them unfolds through each episode to the very last.
I will say one thing - in reality if someone keeps standing you up over and over again for another person - don't wait. Seriously! Life is far too short to be waiting for another person who is in love with someone else for years.
This series isn't too bad (except all the screaming and yelling) and will pass the time for sure!

The thing is, is quite rare me liking both of leads, the way I liked these both.
This is a lightheaded drama, this is not supposed to be heart throbbing romance, more like a comedy. And for that it was really good. I had so much fun watching this. No big dramas, tears and complications.
Like I said before, liked both leads. The female lead wasn't that typical crying around female lead, and the male lead at some point was that typical korean jerk, but as time goes by he reveals himself much more like a shy little boy than the jerk. I fucking loved it. Rain look like a little boy smiling, soo cute.
The only thing that may bother some people, is at some point it becomes dragging, but that happens only if you intend to watch everything in only one day. I got to a point, that I was like, fuck i'm tired of watching, them I'd wait some time and watch it again, and I kept having fun, just as much as before.

Acting/Cast: The actors and actresses are all amazing with their characters. The characters have interesting traits about themselves.
Music: I didn't pay much attention to.
Re-watch Value: It's a great short series time killer if you're wanting to watch something when bored.
Overall: It was a cute story I loved the characters and would watch it again.
Where to watch it: Dramanice or Kocowa

Classic
It was interesting to watch such an old series- the clothes certainly dated it!loved seeing a young Rain and he did play the petulant lead so well. However his constant yelling and bullying did begin to wear on me. As did the premise of his promise to protect the 2cnd female lead as a 9 year old and his constant love for such a passive aggressive character. Which brings me to 2cnd ml - he was so mature and kind and I wish she had fallen for him!So the FL is a great actress who showed such great hurt without going over the top - I felt her pain. However as a character, with almost constant acquisence to his petty demands of cleaning and cooking, seen most awfully in the 14th episode just infuriated me. Also she did seem to string the 2ml along - he was nothing but loving and patient and she knew she loved the ml so why not tell him clearly he was just a friend to her? Also with the ml the fact he wanted her and yet still ran to the 2fl on demand made me lose my liking for him- he hurt her again and again and it all just dragged on repetitively beyond even the belief of a romcom. He seemed to both want his cake and eat it! I really couldnt see qhy she fellnin love with him as for the most part he wasnt that nice to her!
The humor left me cold- maybe its the age of the film, my age or the cultute clash ( I'm English!) Also despite emotive performances there were no real heart fluttering scenes between the two - not even a hand hold!The first and only kiss was not even lukewarm- most unconvincing kiss I've ever seen!
So overall a light watch that would have been better if cut to less episode's given the repetitive scenes and simple plot , and lack of any real physical affection apart from when one or other of them was sleeping or ill!

I have a love/hate relationship with this show.
Oh boy, I just finished Full House and MINOR SPOILERS about character development incoming…(no plot details)The thing that repeatedly made me think about dropping this show was the fact that the Male Lead was (for the most part) a childish jerk all the way until halfway through the last episode. When the FL admitted to having feelings for him I was baffled. Usually in these shows with the “mean/jerk male lead” trope there is enough there to explain why the FL has fallen for him. I can’t say I ever understood it on her side. He had moments(rare moments) when he would treat the female lead like a fellow human who deserved respect. Those moments slightly(and I mean by like 1 or 2 percent) increased as the episodes went on. Those moments(really until halfway through the last episode) were never enough to make me convinced of their shared love. I was openly rooting against him which brings me to why I kept watching.
The second male lead, I have no memory of hearing about full house in context of SLS, but man I had it bad in this show. The second male lead was the most charming and charismatic character in the entire show. I loved almost every scene he was in. His acting was brilliant and I also appreciated that he wasn’t the completely pathetic SML that just silently stands by and supports the FL. he fights for her, which is my favorite kind of SML.
The SFL was also great, at first I thought I would hate her, but I thought her arc was handled perfectly and pitched just right. She seemed like a real human.
The FL’s terrible “friends” were really funny IMO, although they were sometimes annoying.
The last characters I want to mention are the ML’s family. I loved his grandma, she was so funny and her relationship with the FL became so so sweet. I wished there had been more development of the plot/relationship between the ML and his dad, they seemed to set it up as this major thing only to barely wrap it up in the end, which was disappointing.
The only reason why I rated this show overall as high as I did was because the chemistry between the ML and FL is really strong, so despite me not being convinced of why she falls for him, it’s obvious on the screen that they are in love and happy when they are together. It works too well to deny it.
One last note that doesn’t fit anywhere else in my review. The OST for the show was good, I enjoyed it, but there were some covers of some English songs that were really weird and bad and distracting, so that’s why I rated music so low.
I won’t be rewatching this. I do rewatch my favorites, but watching Rain be a childish jerk for over 16 hours just isn’t an experience worth repeating.
