I was hesitant to watch this drama due to its low ratings, but I am glad that I overlooked the ratings.

This was my second drama to watch by Kim Eun Hee (screen writer). My introduction to Korean drama was through "live up to your name" by the same screen writer. I thought live up to your name was absolutely brilliant and since then i have watched 60+ dramas before I came across My Fair Lady (MFL)

I am very much surprised by such low ratings of MFL. After watching 60+ Korean dramas, I have come to expect a certain pattern or formula. MFL is no different. In retrospect Live up to your name wasn't different but at that time I had not figured out KD's formula.

So, given the formula, the ingredients such as Rich FL, poor ML, love triangles etc.. I thought this drama had me engaged almost all of the time. The bonus was that at the end, the story had me emotionally involved and thus my rating of 9.0.

The way first episode started, I was expecting "Taming of the shrew" (TMS) type of plot. Although this story line had some elements of TMS, the plot turned to more of a loving the other person and I enjoyed that twist. Because the mentor i.e Butler Seo came from loving rather than punishing, it was natural to see their relationship develop. It was also nice to see that conflicts and confusion due to love triangles were not forced and developed as the story unfolded.

If you are looking for a ROM COM.. I highly recommend this drama.

I look forward to watching other dramas by Kim Eun Hee.
