I personally didn't love Shopping King Louis. It's not the actors, they did what they could (though Seo In Guk could've been a bit less daft towards the end). The story was bad.
I simply couldn't, and still cannot, comprehend how someone would take 7 episodes to learn that money is a valuable thing if you have little of it. Even though his spending habits were enormous, Louis should've picked up by the second scolding that he spent too much. He never did though.
Ko Bok Sil doesn't learn anything either. She finally seems to have trained Louis into not spending cash and she goes out to get a credit card.
I also cannot comprehend how the writer would think it was not obvious to name Louis dog Koboshi and only in the last episode reveal that he named the dog after a girl he got a gift from; Ko Bok Sil. Even Bok Sil herself thought he called her when he called the dog, so why didn't any of the intelligent adults pick up on this? Why didn't Louis?
Last thing I couldn't get: why all the broken lovelines? Sure, Louis and Bok Sil end up together, same goes for Mr. Kim and Ms. Heo. But Joong Won ends up chasing someone else (we have no idea what kind of feelings she has for him, if any), Ma Ri ends up chasing someone who's not interested and the same goes for In Sung.
All in all I don't think this K-Drama deserves the 8.4 it got here, I'm rating it 6.0/10.
