Perfect balance of comedy, romance and drama (without too munch angst)

Every holiday season I try to avoid heavy themed dramas and go for pure fluffy, romantic comedies and this hit just the spot. Honestly, I was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did but here we are. It has the perfect balance of comedy, romance and drama (without ever really getting too dramatic and angsty). I don’t think I have ever started a drama a lost the sense of time. One hour went by like it was nothing and without realizing it I was on episode 10. Had I started this on a weekend I am pretty sure I would finish it in one sitting.

I really love how the writers took the drama clichés and turned them on their heads. From what they did with the time jump at the end, (I mean they really had us) to the characters.

First of all, Dali, although she is the rich, spoiled princess that loses all her money and nothing ever goes her way after that, she is never a naïve damsel in distress waiting for a man to come and save her. She has her dignity and integrity even after facing all the obstacles. She never takes any man’s money to fix her problems, she never blamed all her difficulties at her fate/luck and she never victimized and pitied herself like many other characters would do. Also no matter what others said she always thought highly of Moo Hak and never gave up on him.

On the other hand, we have Moo Hak, not your usual rich male lead. He is not a cold emotionless perfect robot. He is expressive, intelligent although not knowledgeable and so but SO adorable. Dare I say one of the healthiest male leads out there. Although many found him annoying and obnoxious at first, I never did. It was clear that he was intrigued by Dali from their first meeting and money were never an issue when it came to her. The only reason he acted the way he did it was because he himself was not sure how and what he was feeling and that was the excuse he was giving himself as the reason that he cared and wanted to be with her. But once he knew and understood what he was feeling he never hid away from them and he was always straightforward.

Additionally this might be one of the only, if not the only, Male leads that is not afraid of his father but on the contrary sometimes his father seems to be afraid of him!

Although on a first look they both seem childish, naïve and immature, together they probably make one of the best, healthiest and most mature couples in dramaland. They always find a way to communicate and that's why any problem that comes along gets resolved quickly never giving the viewer any angst. Their chemistry is no joke and are probably one of the cutest couples out there.

And we cannot forget about Won Tak, the best friend of the FL who is close to her as a brother. And that’s exactly what he is. Someone who grew up with her and they are close as siblings and nothing more! He is does not realize mid-way through that he is in-love with her and tries to win her heart! He is just there for her and wants to protect her like any older brother will do! How refreshing!

I would recommend this in a heartbeat not only to drama lovers but to newbies and people that have never watched a K-drama before.
