Where to begin? WHERE TO BEGIN!??? I honestly don't know! It is simply marvellous! Actually no scrap that, there are no words that can possibly do it justice, although I must say Rita's review hit the nail on the head and I fear my review will be a mere nonsensical ramble now xD. Righto, I'll attempt to do this drama the justice it deserves with my prattling. Initially I honestly thought it would be your typical Korean rom-com. In fact that is the precise reason I chose to watch it in the first place as I was in the mood for something lighthearted, filled with abundant humour after having seen a drama of a more serious and tragic nature. Well boy was I in for a surprise, and a pleasant surprise at that because it not only satisfied my yearning for pure romance and comedy but it was simultaneously, beautifully packaged up with real life issues. Issues in relation to politics, the opinions of the masses, the ravaging nature of the media and how they love to latch on to anything that'll catch the public's attention, (in other words: scandalous), patriotism, trust not only in yourself but those around you, and of course love, to mention but a few. Love in this drama is portrayed in such a pure and powerful way. It highlights just how far it can go when accompanied with mutual faith and trust. Truly something to admire. The acting was impeccable and the chosen instrumental themes (perhaps I'm a tad biased here as I adore instrumental and classical music) in my eyes, or rather ears, was simply both elegant and spine tingling! It had the desired effect on me, that I can safely say unless of course my reactions were just plain bizarre and abnormal (which wouldn't really be a surprise! :P). Ha Ji-won and Lee Seung-gi make a such a wonderful duo in this drama, they honestly do. They'll have you bawling your eyes out with tears of joy, sorrow and even plain shock! The two of them have definitely won me over, although technically I'd already been a fan of Ha Ji-won's work (I'm a huge fan of her strong female roles) so saying she's won me over with her performance in here would be a bit of a fib. Lee Seung-gi on the other hand, it was actually my first time seeing him in action. I hadn't a clue what his acting was like, his quirks, or the sorts of dramas/movies he's usually involved in, so seeing him for the first time in all his glory, and talent added to the overall spectacular feel of the drama. Seriously guys, just watch it! This drama is not something anyone can possibly hate with every cell in their body. It is just not possible to hate it so, unless you're referring to the villains, in which case it is perfectly fine to do so (personally speaking, the insanity of the main villain and even his lackeys was something I found to be both incredulously hilarious and infuriating - still it only added to the little gem that this drama is). Go on, WATCH IT!!! You're bound to fall in love with it ^_^.
