This drama is a gem. I really love that it confronts kdrama tropes. I took a long time to finish it because I wanted to keep it for when I have nothing to watch. Most first episodes you can miss. But you don't want to miss this one. Also, the drama gets better and better as it goes along. Eun Sol is the one who carries the drama the first half, but the second half, Ji Heon really is awesome. You never know where the show is going to take you. I liked that there were nonromantic non slow mo hugs involved. Ji Heon's Dad I grew to like this character really quickly. The fact that he's so down to earth with Eun Sol is great. It's nice that she has allies. He's a dad that really wants his son to succeed. The things he does for community service is so funny. I really liked him. “Even though I meet a lot of women, I stick to my own age bracket.” Gahahaaha. I also really like his relationship Eun Sol and how he wants to so desperately accept her but knows all the troubles that will come with it. The actor really conveys the blustery, tempestuous personality with the soft-hearted side. He's probably also one of the first Kdrama parents to apologise to the children for yelling at them. I love that he wants to start again with Ji Heon and be a better father to him. Mu Won I love his facial expressions. He's very cute and polite and he has a husky voice that does tingly things to my insides. Mu Won - “Have you eaten?” Eun Sol - “What?” “If you haven't eaten, let's eat together. Even if you have eaten, eat again with me.” His little fights with his cousin amused me because Mu Won is so mature but sometimes Ji Heon just gets on his nerves. I like the clashes they have and all the power plays and the way Mu Won is so cool about it. Mu Won - “Do you want to eat together?” Ji Heon - “No...why would I eat with...” “Great. I don't want to, either. So, goodbye.” Mu Won's a well-behaved gentleman so I like that Eun Sol advises him to, “stage a strategic revolt”. He's kind of like a preppy high school girl who wants to experiment but just can't. He is a beautiful creature and has the loveliest love confession but he's too scared to hear the answer. I loved that montage as he tries to avoid hearing her response. In Episode 7....gah! I loved seeing his playful side. He definitely enjoys annoying Ji Heon more than he actually likes No Eun Sol. “Are Ji Heon and I that annoying?..then you can just play around with us.” tehehe. It was fun to see him relive his childhood or basically be immature for once in his life. Finally, his shocked face whenever Eun Sol does something rowdy is just the best. The best. Eun Sol's Dad I really appreciate the continuing theme Myeong Ran and Eun Sol are confident women because their parents treasured them. As Eun Sol's father says, “Is your child the only precious one? My daughter is also very precious.” I like that they were brought up knowing that it's not the money that's valuable. It's also great that with Ji Heon being such a sissy boy, that he has to gain the approval of Eun Sol's dad's more manly perspectives. Romance I really could not envision the chemistry working out. In most noona romances, the woman is still really childish and needs taking caring of by the younger hero. But Eun Sol really is like a mother to him to the point that it's sweet how she babies him. I like that Ji Heon falls in love first. I think it's only appropriate considering the nature of the relationship. When she confronts him about him liking her, he goes into the usual spiel of all the reasons he wouldn't like her. It doesn't phase her, she's still like, “So? What does that have to do with anything? Do you like me or not?” “Why, why can't you accept my feelings?” “First of all...” *gasps “What, there's a number two?” As the drama progresses, I began to understand Ji Heon's feelings for Eun Sol and how she became everything to him and it wasn't icky and weird but based on friendship and selflessness. I really like how they outlined the relationship in Episode 8. How Eun Sol's rant at him really woke him up to how he was relating to her. And it wasn't all sunshine and roses. When they do get together it's not very clear. Eun Sol I like that Eun Sol's personality remains consistent and her quirks continue throughout the drama. She doesn't change just because she falls in love. Of course, Ji Heon tests her limits as a secretary. I like that she prevails. Ji Heon - “Ah, what kind of woman is she? She's so ruthless!” The heroine's voice is very low. It's a nice different from the tendency of Korean heroines to have a whiny voice. I like that she's not the type to apologise a hundred times. I like that she's a realist and not a fairytale optimist from the get-go. I found myself looking forward to getting to know and love her. I like that she owns her outbursts. She doesn't back down from her decisions. She sees them through. She might say the wrong things, but she's not clueless. In fact, a lot of the times she's right on the ball. Her common sense is so uncommon in Kdrama heroines. I like that she doesn't get tongue tied and she can say what needs to be said without dragging out long misunderstandings. She doesn't take crap lying down from anyone. She is an unusually quick thinker and when someone threatens her she threatens them right back. In Episode 4 when she head butts him, she completely stole my heart. Although I don't condone manhandling or intimidating, I do like that she does it to him as much as he does it to her. Eun Sol really gives it to Ji Heon when he tries to put the moves on her. She is so brilliant. She also isn't afraid to tease him about her relationship with his cousin. I also like that she really gives it to him straight about the kind of relationship they have. I think she's the first heroine to really lay it down that working tirelessly is not as easy or as stress-free as other Kdramas portray. She seems more like a noona to the cousins and she makes fun of Mu Won's lack of fighting skills. Her practical side sometimes makes her seem cold and I like that she hardly ever cries. Ji Heon “I know you can solve the problem on your own. But you also have to tell me about it.” ~ Ji Heon I can't believe the actor was the 34 when he filmed this. He acts so convincingly as a child. He does have a disorder but that's not a good enough excuse for me. I liked when he started to try and look out for Eun Sol in his own weird way. When he starts to let her help him, it gets even better. He's an extremely prickly character who doesn't like this or that and doesn't like to be touched either. In the beginning he acts like he doesn't care what anyone thinks but of course he's a big baby and when he starts putting in the effort and trying he really enjoys the approval. Responsibility is really hot. Haha. Ji Heon definitely became more attractive to me as he started growing up. His immaturity also works in his favour too because he's not as prone to hide behind arrogance and image because he knows he doesn't really have one. His stance on romance is simple, but effective. He's also encouraging. It's weird how his character developed such depth and presented a side to Ji Heon that I would never have suspected, yet the writers lay the foundation so you realise it was always there. He also apologises for wrist grabs. Even as he grows up, he doesn't lose his cluelessness, “What? You're also dating an assistant manager?” ahahahaha. By the end of it, I really believed in his character and his love for No Eun Sol. Myeong Ran I loved her as the best friend. She is a little on the large side which is great and she's just as kickass. And she's my first solid best friend in a Kdrama. She has a low voice too and that made the friendship seem more mature for some reason. I liked that she has fun together with Eun Sol. It's not just that she's someone to complain to or a shoulder to cry on. They get along so well and can just let loose with each other and have inside jokes and dance and sing together. Myeong Ran's ferocity really cracked me up. I like how the rich didn't dare cross her. Her strange relationship with Na Yun was hilarious. The Ex – Na Yun I kind of liked that she was a bit less controlled than other second female leads. She doesn't have it all together. She also really cares about Ji Heon even when she contemplates revenge, she won't go through with it. She also wears her heart on her sleeves and she's not cool at all. She actively tries to prove herself to Eun Sol and this made her seem much more real. I like that she chokes on her food and that she makes friends with Myeong Ran. Elders I liked the theme of the main characters outsmarting/rebelling against the parents. There are scheming elders but I'm glad that the elders scheme amongst themselves and get in the way of each other and so it's not all up to the poor younger folk to dodge their machinations. Also, Eun Sol has no trouble standing up to the elders. She's not intimidated or deferential at all. She's so direct with them, “Please don't come to this crappy neighbourhood with your crappy attitudes anymore.” Surprisingly, the children of the annoying elders also learn to get a backbone and confront their mothers. For the win. Fashion Bow ties are always fun. Ji Heon wears a backpack which emphasises his kid look.
