Two words

shaky cameras. maybe i'm prone to dizziness, but I could not keep up in normal scenes, let alone fight scenes. i squinted through the episodes solely for ji chang wook lolllll yoona's acting was subpar but she has the looks, which in a lot of people's minds makes up for the lack of emotional depth in her character. the real acting is in the evil stepmother, her character had so much potential like heck, she could have ended up with the male lead. but anyhow, really shaky cameras. i watched all episodes on my phone when it first came out and barely made it through them, now that I have a gigantic monitor, absolute nightmare to keep up with.

A Classic

Just rewatched the show after 10 years, and I'm glad to say it's still as good as ever.

You can't expect a romance idol tv show to be realistic, so I just want to talk about the lead couple. The growth in both leads as they navigate through different problems in their work and resolve issues in their relationship. The workaholic FL who takes care of everyone around her learns to value herself more, and the spoilt ML learns to work hard and care for people other than himself. The bond between them is strong af, and no amount of drama or hoes can break them apart. Even when the ML is seemingly caught doing questionable things, the FL will always choose to believe him before anything else. They respect each other's choices and support each other no matter what. Goals.

The last episode throws an unnecessary curveball at you out of nowhere though, and that's my only complaint.
