What this it drama has to offer is the most basic ingredients of Korean dramas, no more no less. A bit of a bittersweetness, comedy, romance, hard work, sadness and the harshness of Korean society. Everything comes wrapped in a neat and well balanced package. What this show lacks is chemistry between the main couple and creativity. The main idea of the plot is creative enough but the actual implementation is not. This is basic "Cinderella" story about a girl who hits the rock bottom and then gets a chance to fulfill her dream through hard work and finds her happiness in the end. There are drawbacks but she never stops trying due to her cheerful and stubborn character everyone just loves. The drama succeeds well in portraying Korean life in general and does it in a quite realistic way. Exposes all the flaws of money driven society in which you have to be perfect and young to succeed in anything. Even if you have talent but are a few years too old you are nothing. If you are a nice person everyone around you will get jealous and try to plot you out of the picture. But still, in the end the good wins. There were way too many episodes and halfway the story became exhausting due to its repetitiveness. The chemistry between the main characters which was quite okay in the beginning slowly faded away and they felt more like good friends, older sister and younger brother. Needless to say I got a really bad second lead syndrome here. This is not good not bad, mediocre at its best and worst. Acting is quite okay though.
