I have not read the original manga that this is based on, so I can only speak for the drama. The overall story line is fairly lighthearted and comical, but it does have a few emotional moments towards the end (I only went through like, one box of tissues... nbd).
The good:
The story progressed at a decent pace, where every episode had a purpose. While I wasn't too impressed with the plot, I thoroughly enjoyed the every one of the comical moments, many of which were unexpected. Aside from the comedy, my favorite parts of the drama were the sub stories of the supporting characters. They were all adorable and added so much fun and liveliness to the drama, and I would have loved to see more of them!
The not so good:
The story itself is pretty one dimensional. There was only one predominant obstacle throughout the entire series. Aside from the idea of a monk determinedly chasing after the female protagonist, there wasn't much else that made this drama unique. Furthermore, the plot development was uneven.Some parts of the story line were dragged on a bit longer than necessary, while other parts weren't explored enough. I felt like the drama started out a bit repetitive and slow for the first half of the series, but made a quick turnaround for the second half.
Characters (8/10)
The characters made the show for me. There were moments when I felt that the acting was a little lacking or the lines were too cheesy, but it didn't take too much away from the story . Each person had their little quirk or unique personality trait that made them interesting. Altogether, they created and fun and inviting atmosphere that made me wish that I could be a part of that community. There aren't any true villains in this drama, only misunderstood individuals who need to learn how to communicate. By the end of the drama, I pretty much loved everyone and was sad to say goodbye. Keep in mind, though I get attached to people very easily D:.
Music:
I didn't particularly pay attention to the music, but I got no complaints!
Overall
This isn't a drama I'd plan on re-watching, but it's definitely a drama to watch if you're looking for something fun and light. It's also a fairly short drama, so there's no long time or emotional commitment! :P
