The Good: Lee Min Ho as Goo Joon Pyo. This was his break out role for a reason. Goo Joon Pyo is not a good person and he would make a terrible boyfriend, but boy is he fun to watch.

The Meh: Everyone else, practically, especially Kim Hyun Joong's Ji Hoo and Goo Hye Sun's Geum Jan Di. Seriously, what was up with her character. Had potential to be a decent and even kinda badass female lead, but she was just such a puzzling and at times infuriating one instead.

The Bad: The story, oh, it's bad. And frustrating. And terribly cliched. But so, so addictive and fun to watch.
This show was one of my first korean dramas and I finished it in like four days, I couldn't stop. I have a very soft spot for it, in spite of its flaws and overall messiness. One of my guilty pleasures.

The Good: Lee Min Ho in the peak of his looks( I am very shallow). Also, the acting in general, but Son Ye Jin in particular. Her character could have been so annoying if played by someone else, but she served just the right amounts of vulnerability and sincerity to make me like her. Oh, and when this show wants to be funny, it's really funny.

The Meh: The plot after the 12th episode or so. Once the big reveal is out, show looses its steam and starts going downhill. It never really went that bad for me, but it could have been so much better.

The bad: That two ending episodes involving one of the most unexplicable uses of noble idiocy in Kdrama ever. Tainted my image of LMH's Jin Ho character that I had liked so much before and made me angry, especially upon rewatch.

It's my first Kdrama ever though, so I can't really deny my fondness for this one either.
