You're All Surrounded

Hey Everyone!

It has been a while since I last posted on here! I actually have finished quite a few dramas between my last post and now, but I just haven't had a chance to sit down and write the reviews. I admit, I have finished a few more than the reviews I will post because a few of them I just skimmed through for fun and do not feel they need to be reviewed. However, if anyone is interested in knowing all the dramas that I have watched thusfar, please view My Drama List. Anyways, the most recent drama that I finished (like literally a few minutes ago) was You're All Surrounded. This drama starred Lee Seung Gi and Go Ara. I have to admit, Go Ara is getting in my good books since her role in Reply 1994. I honestly thought maybe she was a one-hit pony, but she actually did a great job in this new drama as well. The drama was mainly about police detectives and a major unsolved case from 11 years ago. The first scene showed the current year where new recruits were welcome to the Gangnam police station. There, we met Eun Dae Gu/Kim Ji Yong, Uh Soo Soon, Park Tae Il, and Ji Gook. The four ended up on Seo Pan Suk's team. Suddenly, we are taken back to the past (11 years ago) during one of PS's cases. PS at that time was investigating a businessman and Kim Ji Yong's mother was an eye witness. However, during the investigation, suddenly JY's mother was killed and JY was chased by her killer. In the current time, it turned out that the case was never solved. The rest of the drama revolved around JY trying to figure out what really happened and who really killed his mother. The drama had great humour as well as sad scenes. I have to admit it was a nice emotional rollercoaster ride. I will definitely give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because there was plenty of closure. That's it for now.

A Gentleman's Dignity

Hey Everyone!

So, I finally finished another amazing drama! I don't know why I haven't watched this drama before now, but it was a great one! The drama was called A Gentleman's Dignity and it was mainly about the friendship between 4 middle-aged men and their love lifes. I always put this drama off because the age of the actors (and perhaps lack of eye candy), however after watching it, I realized, "Wow, now this is a good plot!". The drama was mainly about Kim Do Jin (architect), Im Tae San (DJ's partner), Choi Yoon, and Lee Jung Rok. The 4 had a great friendship that began in middle school and continued till their 40's. The drama began with DJ coincidentally bumping into Seo Yi Soo two times (once at the coffee shop and another when she was wearing a knitted red dress). DJ was always known as a player who had multiple women he was dating, but somehow YS became an interesting facination to him. Coincidentally, it seemed that TS and Yoon knew YS already. TS and Yoon both played in a baseball team, where YS was their umpire. Not only that, TS's sister, Im Mae Ahri was taught by YS (in elementary school) and through MA, YS knew Yoon as well. Initally, when DJ met YS, she had a HUGE crush on TS. However, he was dating her roommate Hong Se Ra. Although YS still had a crush on TS, she pretended to be fine with SR and TS dating. However, DJ found out about the one-sided crush, and decided that he liked YS and wanted to change her mind towards him. At first, YS thought DJ was just kidding around, but in reality he was truly falling for her. The rest of the drama revolved around DJ and YS's relationship blossoming, and the rest of the friends having their own fair share of relationship troubles. I really liked this drama because it showcased the internal struggles of all the characters. It was not only a typical rom-com, but it actually genuinely made me cry and laugh too. The characters were all very complex and the relationships between each character was very interesting as well. Not only that, but there were a lot of appearences by idols (like CN Blue and Girls' Generation members). I definitely give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars because it was just that good! That's it for now.

Panda and Hedgehog

Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another drama called Panda and Hedgehog. I realized that this drama did not get enough credit as other dramas do (due to casting). The drama casted mostly new artists, and as much as I love watching the usual actors, this was a nice change, with a great storyline. The story was about Pan Da Yang (Panda) and Ko Seung Ji (Hedgehog). Hedgehog lost his memories when he was 11 years old due to an accident, and because he couldn't remember anything, he lived a very difficult life. He even went to prison because of causing trouble as a minor. When he got out of jail, he wanted to become a patissier, so he went to his idol's cafe. There he was ridiculed and thrown out (due to his background). At the point, he set out to ruin the shop, but luckily in the process he met a kind older man that took him in under his belt. The two interacted as grandson and grandfather for almost 5 years. When the elderly man's daughter suddenly showed up, Hedgehog decided to go work somewhere else, to give them space to re-connect (she had been gone for many years). While away, he met Panda at her run-down bakery that her parents left her before they passed away. Hedgehog shocked Panda with his baking skills, and she hired him right away (without a resume). Eventually, Panda's old friend, Choi Won Il (also the son of the cafe that ridiculed Hedgehog) returned from the U.S. WI did not like Hedgehog from the start and when Hedgehog found out that WI is that patissier's son, he started to dislike WI too. Eventually though, Hedgehog realized that WI also detests his father because he is not his biological father, and he was ruining his real father's cafe. In the meantime, WI was trying to attract Panda, but to his dismay Hedgehog fell for Panda as well. The rest of the drama revolves around the love triangle between the three, as well as trying to find a lost friend. It was a light hearted drama, but it did involve some serious issues as well (such as finding a lost family member). I really liked it because I love dramas involving cooking or baking. I give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars because it was well made, even with unknown actors. That's it for now.

Rich Man Poor Woman

Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another drama. In fact, it is my first Japanese drama in a LONG time! I am sooo busy studying for exams, that I needed something lighter to watch. I ended up watching Rich Man, Poor Woman. It was a really cute drama about a guy named Hyuga Toru and his crazy ways of running a business. He was originally a carefree and lazy business man. However, one day he met Natsui Makoto. The girl entered his company with a false identity (used his biological mother's name) because he had prosopagnosia (cannot recognize faces). Eventually, she realized that what she did was wrong, and told him the truth. It did hurt him, but they ended up getting along again after that. The twist in the story was when Toru's best friend and business partner betrayed him. At first Toru was shocked and realized he had lost everything (didn't help that he already had trust issues since his mother left him when he was a child). During his lowest point, Makoto helped him regain his composure and helped him start another company. The rest of the drama revolved around Makoto teaching Toru how to behave with others, and bringing out his feelings for her. I gave this drama a 4 out of 5 stars mainly because there were a few unresolved issues (mostly about his mother). Otherwise, it was an excellent, light drama, that made me laugh a lot. Very refreshing! That's it for now.

Watashi Ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu

Hey Everyone!

So, I finished another drama, this time a Japanese one called Watashi Ga Renai Dekinai Riyuu. It was a really nice drama about three girls living together and learning about what love means to them and what dreams they have. Fujii Emi had a successful career as a lighting expert for theaters and concert halls, however was very inexperienced in love. Ogura Saki was unemployed but dreamt about becoming a successful writer, and did not believe in love. Finally, Hanzawa Mako was a serious type of individual, always calculating life, whether it be love or career. The three met up after many years and started living together. The rest of the drama was about each girl maturing and developing their characters. They had many struggles in love, but in the end were able to find their goals. It was a nice story about the strong bond between girls and a great slice of life drama. I would give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars because the ending was not exactly how I expected it to be. It was definitely realistic, but it was also a bit unsettling for me. Otherwise, it was a great light hearted drama for all.

Some comments about the drama (SPOILERS):

- Sad ending to episode 1, but predictable...
- Was nice that he protected his girl during black out
- Pumpkin comment even made me all flustered
- Mako's sister (the actress) always has a bad girl role
- Cop's naiveness was so cute
- Sexual tension between Emi and Yu... yikes!
- The character development for all the girls was really good
- Sad when Hikari back (predictable though)
- Loved the OST
- They're so cute! He noticed the necklace!
- ooo kiss!
- Cried: when she saw hikari confess, mugs, when Yu left
- Ending left me hanging/wished for a different ending

That's it for now.

Soulmate

Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another drama, this time a romantic comedy called Soulmate. It was quite an interesting drama because it was about the "game of love". The drama revolved around Shin Dong Wook and Lee Soo Kyung. In the first half of the drama, both of their perspectives were shown, including them realizing what "love" is. DW had never fell in love before, but finally found a girl, Hong Yu Jin, who was very innocent and naive. He began to realize that he could be with her, since she was so simple and different, however he never really "loved" her. There was no passion for her, rather, just fulfilling the qualities he searched for in the game he was playing. SK on the other hand, was with the same guy, Phillip, for 5 years and even got engaged to him, but he started falling for someone else. Due to that, he realized that he fell out of love with SK. It was really hard for SK, but that was how she found DW. Finally, the two main characters met halfway into the drama, as if by destiny. They kept being drawn to each other. But, DW kept pushing the thoughts aside, and SK, being friends with YJ, tried not to realize her feelings as well. The rest of the drama involved different encounters between DW and SK, and their love developing for each other. It was a cute drama, but the ending left me longing to know what happens next. I guess that is also a reason to like the drama right? Personally, I dislike being left hanging, so I would have to rate this drama a bit lower than perhaps it deserves. But, otherwise, it was definitely a worthwhile drama to watch. There were a lot of laughs, and a few tears now and then. But, it was nice seeing all the characters learn what "love" is, to them, as individuals. I also found the dating games really amusing. If you have time, give this drama a shot! I give this drama a 4 out of 5 stars.


Some notes about the drama (SPOILERS):

- damn DW had a great body!
- the instructor was such a trouble maker!
- the [OST](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wiCTMZoBtg) was interesting... very sensual...
- interesting perspectives by showing both sides
- the games were twisted
- outfit YJ picked out for DW was hilarious!
- the manager & brother were hilarious!
- YJ's way of speaking was so irritating at times!
- the phone call/crying/music scene was so sweet/touching (tear)
- so much better without the headband!
- sexual tension between DW and SK was nice
- family orchestra... hahaha
- cried: break up, when main prentends to be her bf, when DW left
- end left me hanging

That's it for now.

My Love by My Side

Hey Everyone!

I finally finished another drama! It took longer than usual because this one was one of those family dramas that are 50 episodes long. I even skimmed through a few episodes, but it still took me a while to finish. I will be honest, I did check out the last episode before I continued watching, because I wanted a certain couple to end up together. Anyways, the drama My Love by My Side, was mainly about three families: Do Mi Sol's family, Go Suk Bin's family, and Lee So Ryong's family, and the connections each has with one other. The drama started with a girl named Do Mi Sol and her journey after realizing she is pregnant (teen mother). She was impregnated by Go Suk Bin, a fellow classmate and childhood friend. SB's mother could not stand the thought of her smart and wonderful son, being involved in a teenage pregnancy, so she sent him away abroad. In the meantime, MS had to go through social scrutiny and even had to withdraw from high school to give birth. She and her (single parent) mother, had to move away from everyone they knew. 7 years later, SB returns to Korea with his wife, and has no idea about the child's birth. Meanwhile, MS had completed college and was studying to be in the broadcasting business (ideally a news anchor). By coincidence, MS meets Lee So Ryong due to some odd circumstances (really funny encounter!). Initially, the two start off as friends, but eventually SR falls for MS. In the meantime, SB realized his son's existence, and tried to get closer to MS. All the while, SB's wife was getting suspicious. The drama then proceeds into more serious matters. I won't go into any more detail than this, but the drama involved all sorts of issues such as teenage pregnancy, greed, and inheritance. I really liked it because the villian character actually made my blood boil (similar to how I felt with Shining Inheritance, yet funny enough, that same actress was in this drama as well, but as a good guy!). I liked this drama because it showed a topic that may even be taboo in Korea because no matter what, teenage pregnancy is not well-taken by society. It was nice seeing that MS did not just give up school, rather finished college and even went into a difficult field. I hope you will check this drama out because it is definitely worth a watch! I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars.

Here are some hi-lights from the drama (SPOILER ALERT):

- SR was a very forward person especially when he confessed to MS (so cute!)
- the good luck watch necklace was sweet...
- kiss under the umbrella after being saved from a big splash was so romantic!
- 10 dates was such a good idea! (love it)... and double sided coin... classic!
- the uncle couple is too cute = comic relief
- SB's mother was pure evil... total denial!
- predictable plot (e.g. wife's revenge plot, giving up love since adopted)
- I understood wife's point of view too.. there were no explanations so obviously she assumed the worse!
- everyone kept spraying everyone with water when irritated... common theme =S
- wife with affair and sterile was predicatable
- SR's proposal was sooo sweet!
- Times I cried: car almost hitting SR, the break ups, when SR realized he celebrated his birthday with his mother, seeing SB after the accident
- SB's mother made my blood boil!!!

Well, that's it for now.

Can You Hear My Heart

Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another drama called Can You Hear My Heart. I have been putting this drama off for a while because I knew it would be a tear fest! Indeed it was, but the summary on dramawiki does not give it justice! This drama had everything in one - familial problems, disabilities, inheritance issues, sibling rivalry, manipulation, etc. I watched every minute of every episode this time. It is a bit longer than the usual drama that I mention, but it was worth every minute! So, before I get too excited and analyze the drama too much, here goes the plot. The drama mainly revolves around two families; the Bong family and the Cha family. The two interrelate through offspring I suppose. In the Bong family, originally existed the grandma, Bong Young Kyu, and Bong Ma Ru. YK is a mentally disabled person and is called a "fool" a lot in the drama. Yet, he was the most charismatic and lovable character in the drama! He fell in love with Mi Suk who was deaf and had a daughter named Bong Woo Ri (little Mi Suk at that time). MR always loathed being in that family because he could not understand why his father was such a "fool" and why he had to suffer so much. One day, MR met the Cha family because they were giving out scholarships. There he met Tae Yeon Suk, Choi Jin Chul, and their son, Cha Dong Joo. MR instantly fell for YS because she was such a loving mother to DJ. However, instantly disliked JC because he was such a jerk to him (disregarded MR because he was poor and "ill-bred"). That same day, DJ met WR and the two became instant friends. However, soon later, MR's mother came back, and it turned out that MR was not actually YK's son, rather his sister's (Kim Shin Ae) son. She had abandoned him when he was a baby so that she could go to America to make something of herself. But, she had returned for her son, and to make him the next inheritor of the Cha inheritance (that's right, MR is JC's biological son). Anyways, one night JC murdered DJ's grandfather and DJ witnessed the murder and fell off of a ladder and lost his hearing. Meanwhile, MS was working at one of the plants that JC owned, and died in a fire (because she was protecting something she bought for MR - to get his approval for the marriage). Somehow, JC instead framed YK and his family for causing the fire (when it was JC's fault), and forced MR to go to DJ's mother for help. At that time, YS already knew about MR's birth parents, and so, she took MR with her to get her revenge on JC in the future. 16 years later, DJ, MR, and YS returned to Korea from Saipan, and made everyone believe that DJ could hear (he could read lips really well). DJ and MR had become really close brothers, and MR was now a doctor (his childhood dream). Eitherways, YS showed MR off to JC without him even realizing that she had adopted his son (very dramatic!). Soon later, DJ comes into contact with WR again through company related business. The two did not hit it off initially, but eventually they did rekindle their old flame. WR was the only one (other than her father) that realized that DJ could not hear (well obviously, her mother was also deaf!). Anyways, all the drama began once MR realized who his real birth parents were and what YS had done (used him all these years). All the abandonment issues began, and all sorts of evil thoughts entered his head. Anyways, I will not spoil the ending, nor all the dramatic events that occur in the last third of the drama, but it is a relatively good ending.

I felt that this drama really showed a lot of important issues like, "be grateful for what you have", "listen to the people you love", and mainly "blood is not necessarily thicker than water". I really felt that this drama did justice to its title Can You Hear My Heart, because it was not only the people that could not hear, but really, the people that could hear, that were not listening! Also, it seemed that, sometimes you need tragedy to actually bring people together again (sigh).

I also really loved the character portrayals through the actors. They really did justice to their characters! I especially was fond of MR and YK. MR, mainly because he went through so much, but still managed to keep his cool. He was able to protect everyone he loved (or at least tried to). I felt that this drama emphasized his character to what was required. I did like the chemistry between DJ and WR, but I felt that romance was not the main theme, rather one's love for their family. WR and her family waited 16 years for MR, and sometimes you just need to open your eyes to see what you are missing out on. MR always wanted a family, but he did not realize till near the end, that he always had a great family, he just needed to open his eyes and see it! Regardless, it was an excellent drama, with a great plot and great characters! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a meaningful drama. Definitely not light-hearted, but worth a watch. I am pretty sure you all can figure out that I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars. It was just that good! Let me know if any of you watch it, and how you found it. That's it for now (and it is late, almost 2AM, need to sleep!).

Cain and Abel

Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished watching another drama, called Cain and Abel. It is derived from the biblical story about Cain and Abel, the first sons of Adam and Eve. The story is well known for its introduction of jealousy and murder in the world. In the biblical story, Cain is the older brother, who is jealous of Abel, and so decides to kill him. In the end though, he takes in all the punishment for his sins. This drama, has a very similar story line, but of course not as simple. The main characters in this drama were Lee Cho In (Abel) and Lee Seon Woo (Cain). SW returned to Korea after being away for 7 years, whereas CI stayed and began his residency at their family hospital. CI was adopted by SW's father because CI's parents were good friends of SW's father. However, SW's father gave CI all the attention, ever since they were very young. Likewise, SW's mother only showed affection for SW and never for CI. Regardless of all this, the two brothers were always very close. This was shown by their reaction to SW returning from his long trip. But, when Kim Seo Yeon (SW and CI's childhood friend) confesses her love for CI, things become more complicated. Not only that, but it turned out that SW's father was in a coma and had left CI the rights to a new center being created. Initially, SW realizes it was him that left everyone, so he had to accept what had happened in his absence, but soon, SW's mother sends CI to China to do research on a surgery for their father, yet really hired hitmen to keep him there until the board meeting passed. While there, CI met Oh Young Ji, a North Korean defect, that was trying to get passports to smuggle her family and herself into South Korea. So, while working as a tour guide, the people that were going to kidnap CI, hired YJ to be his guide, and offerred her a lot of money. At first, YJ thought CI was a playboy and a scammer, but soon realized he was a kind doctor, that helped the poor (took hospital drugs to help a small village in China). While there, YJ had her appendix removed by CI. At that time, YJ started having feelings for CI, but realized that he had a life in S. Korea, and someday would go visit him when she got the chance. In the meantime, one of the people working for SW's mother, ordered to have CI killed because SW's father left the center to CI. The hitmen then took CI to the desert and shot him and left him to die. Miraculously, some North Korean defects found him and saved him. But, at that time, he had amnesia and did not know who he was or how he got there. During the time with the N. Korean defects, he started talking again, and met YJ's brother. The two became really close, and eventually were going to meet YJ in S. Korea, but one of the members decided to backstab them, and killed YJ's brother for the money. At that time, CI wanted to still take YJ's brother, but he shot himself so that he would not be a burden. But, before his last breath, he asked CI to take care of his sister. While CI was lost, SY searched everywhere for him. One time, they even went to the jail where CI and YJ's brother were, but SY fell ill (heart problems) and when SW saw CI, he pretended not to recognize him. Later, another man's ashes were sent with CI's couple ring with SY, and so everyone thought he was dead. At that point, a few months later, SW finally confessed to SY, and all the truths about his past were revealed. It turned out that SW had a tumour in his brain, and that is why he left, but he did not want to worry anyone about his relapse. The two then started dating. Meanwhile, when CI finally returned to S. Korea, he and YJ started to live together. But, the traitor returned and tried to hurt YJ, so the two left Seoul. During their time together, they became really close, but YJ felt guilty about lying to CI. She knew who he really was, but did not tell the truth because she wanted to escape loneliness and because she wanted to protect him from his killers. However, soon, CI started regaining his memories, and eventually YJ told him the truth. At that point, he was going to return to Seoul but got hit by a car since SW sent the hitmen to kill CI this time. But, since YJ came to intervene, the two faced less damage together. At that point, CI left, and went to the Seoul hospital. Everyone was shocked to see him alive. He was pretending to have lost his memories for the 6 months he was away. YJ thought it was best not to bother him since he was finally back to his loved ones (or so she thought!). At that point, CI found out about SW and SY. Not only that, but he was remembering more about his time away, and started creating a timeline. Soon, he realized his brother was in on the murder plots against him, and he was shocked. YJ started working at the hospital since CI wanted to protect her against the traitor. As well, as he uncovered more and more about the past, SY found out about SW's plots (saw the timeline CI created). Eventually, it was all out war between the brothers, for the two centers. In the end though, SW required surgery, and asked only CI to perform it. If he had to die, then that would be fine, but he wanted CI to perform it, so that he can receive his punishment. In the end, he became in a similar state as his father, where he was in an internal prison, awake yet unable to move. It was a painful way to live the rest of his life, but he did not mind making up for his sins. Finally, CI went to get YJ (since she left after the everything went down), and the two went to visit SW and SY. CI finally told SW to get out of his prison, and to enjoy the rest of his days. The drama ended with a scene of the four standing near a lake, smiling. It was a nice dialogue in the end too, where CI talked about how everyone has at least one really great memory, and the only way to get past bad ones, is by a fellow man (like how YJ helped CI). Well, that was long, but it was definitely a great watch! I missed a ton of little details, but it was one of the better dramas. The plot was excellent, and there was great character development. A definite must-see! I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars for sure! That's it for now.

Hanamizuki

Hey Everyone!

So, I just watched a very touching Japanese movie called Hanamizuki. It was mainly about a girl named Sae (girl from Zenkai Girl) and a boy named Kouhei (Toma Ikuka!). The two meet on the train because Sae was trying to reach an exam, but instead got into trouble because she asked Kouhei to drive her there since the train stopped (hit a deer). Soon after that, the two became closer, by talking about their dreams. Kouhei wanted to take over his father's fishing boat, wheras Sae wanted to go to Todai (Tokyo U). Finally, Sae passed the exam, and had to move to Tokyo. This started their long-distance relationship. Initially, they called each other a lot, but soon, Sae had to start working part-time and full-time school, so it was difficult for her to talk to Kouhei. She could not even go home for the summer. She also met Jun (Osamu Mukai! talk about the hottest cast!), a sempai that loved to take pictures of children in third world countries (her father was a photographer like that). The two became close, but Sae only loved Kouhei. However, when Kouhei went to visit Sae on Christmas eve, he witnessed Jun and Sae being friendly with each other. He was really upset the whole date, and eventually took it out on some random kids on the street because they broke his gift for Sae. But, later that night, they solved the misunderstanding and had sex for the first time. The next morning, Kouhei gave Sae a little wooden boat that he had made with a flag stating "gambatte Sae" (good luck Sae). Then, after 4 years, Kouhei had to break up with Sae because his father passed away and he had to take on the responsibility of his mother and sister. He then married this other girl (happens to be the secondary actress from Zenkai Girl haha; Sae's mother was also from that drama as her boss), and Sae moved to New York to work in a publishing company. A few years later, Jun proposed to Sae, Sae returned to Japan to visit a friend's wedding, where she meets Kouhei again. This time, they finally said their goodbyes to each other (Sae returned the boat). However, that night, Kouhei had to declare bankrupcy, so his mother and sister went off to live with relatives, and his wife left him (partially because of the financial situation and partially because he still loved Sae). After Sae returned to New York, she decided to marry Jun, but he had gone on another assignment, but he was killed. Finally, again, a few years later, Sae went to Nova Scotia (where she was born), and found the light house she had visited with her father. There, she happened to find the wooden boat in a shop, and realized that Kouhei had been working on a fishing boat that came to Nova Scotia once a year. She missed Kouhei, since he had left before she make in time to the dock. She had then returned to her hometown in Japan, and started teaching English to children in the area. A year later, Kouhei found the boat again and saw that someone had written "thank you" on it, and he returned home to find Sae there. The two finally reunited and stayed together. It was a very sweet story, and definitely worth checking out. I did mention pretty much the whole plot, but still, it was so heart warming! I definitely give this movie a 5 out 5 stars. That's it for now.

Protect the Boss

Hey Everyone!

So, I just finished another cute romantic comedy drama. I have been watching this one for over a week because I have been a bit busier lately. Either ways, it was called Protect the Boss. It was mainly about No Eun Seol, an ex-Player (like Yankee in Japan), who wanted to turn a new leaf, by working as an office Secretary. She gets a job, but only to find out the boss is a pervert, so she gets into a fight with his gangsters and ends up coming into contact with Cha Ji Heon. JH is basically a Chaebol's son, but does not care about being the next in line for the family business. He also had a panic disorder during public speaking. Soon, JH's cousin, Cha Moo Won hires ES to spy on JH as his secretary. But, in the end, she was loyal to JH and always protected him. Not only that, but JH and MW both fell for ES. ES only cared about work and money, so she did not initially fall for either of the boys. However, eventually, she did fall for JH. There were a few obstacles in their way, like MW, and JH's ex (Seo Na Yoon). But, they still ended up together. Everyone was happy, but then, JH's father decided to do some dirty business, and ES happened to find out. Then, MW and NY's mothers decided to frame ES about coming out as an informant on the information. At that time, ES and JH were both transferred to different locations. Not only that, but once JH and ES finally met up again, JH's father became ill. JH then asked ES to wait for him, and after a few months, the two finally got back together again. In the end, the two got married, and JH finally got the courage to leave the company and because a professor (ironic due to his previous struggles with public speaking). ES decided to go back to school. NY and MW finally got together for real, with real feelings (before it was more about the name). It was a cute drama, and not as dramatic as most, which made me happy to have a light hearted one again. I give this drama a 5 out of 5 stars. That's it for now.
