Huh, finally i finished this drama, it was a (quite) long journey with lot of breaks, but i finished the last few epidsode today.
...THE STORY.......
I think the main problem with this drama is that, it's too long.
10 episode will be more than enough for the story line, but with this 16 episode it became more and more tiresome beacuse of the (unrealistic) problems and the "i love you, you love me, but we can't be together" repeating. (Just like in the Heirs.)
In the beginning it seems very promising, i enjoyed the funny situations and misunderstandings caused by the fake marriage, it was fresh and quite interesting but (about) from the middle of the drama it started changing, the (waaay to much) tears and suffering started dominated the story, and it's okay and understandable for a couple of times, (love is complicated, or what) but when i saw the main leads (especially the female ones) crying the third and fourth times in an episode for just almost nothing - well, it just killed the show for me.
...CHARACTERS and ACTING.......
It was problably because of the character of Ah Jung, whom i can't understand, she also can act really stubborn (on a positive way) and confident in situations, which was quite likable, but sometimes (mainly in the end) she was just the opposite and act weakly, or just walk away while crying. Also, she was on my nerves, because she never talked about her problems with the man she loves (and whom can maybe solve the problem, or at least cheer her up) no, she just usually said "It's nothing" and was suffering alone with a smile on her face.)
I also wasn't keen of the male lead, Ki Joon, but it wasn't beacuse of the character but the acting. That was the first time i saw Kang Ji Hwan playing a role, and (sorry for the big fans, but) i found his acting unnatural and overact. He's handsome, no doubt, but his acting skills didn't convincing me. (Maybe he improved since this drama, and get better.)
The most likable characters were supporting ones, Manager Park and the assistant guy of Ki Joon, they were always themselves, and almost every words of them were pure gold (especially Manager Park). And of course it also thanks to the good acting, both Park Ji Yoon and Kwon Yool performed their characters really well, it was delightful watching them.
...THE ENDING.......
The couple of last episode was just an overwrought suffering with too much tears and unnecessary situations (with newspaper articles and what's people thinking), so mostly didn't happened anything significant.
Maybe, the very last episode was some kind of returning to the starter mood of the drama, it was quite lovely and i think it was a worthy ending to this drama, but the way while we get to this end, it was a little bit too long-drawn.
