Beautiful gong shim

A girl overshadowed by her sister and overlooked by her family suffers from alopecia due to the stress and wears a bob shaped wig to conceal this fact. She rents her rooftop apartment above her parents house to an unconventional lawyer who at first she believes is a gangster. This is the set up for the romance side of this series but along the way we have a love triangle, a jealous sister, kidnapping and attempted murder. A light hearted romantic comedy superbly acted by the cast particularly Minah (Girls Day) who plays Gong Shim the girl with a wig whose voice and diction I find attractive. May have benefitted from being condensed a little but overall an enchanting series.

I never laughed so hard on a kdrama! The story was well crafted to have a good mix of seriousness, sincerity, innocence, and making impossible twists believable!

You know the story. You just want to know how it is solved. I had my hand on the fast forward esp when Gong came along, her family and that oh so wooden faced, mean, manipulative sister of hers, so I survived it.

Saving grace was the two men ,their struggle and misunderstandings.

Beautiful Gong Shim was riddled with silly cliches and cheesy moments, and the second half was incredibly melodramatic, but I was so thoroughly entertained that I could excuse all the faults. I loved the main couple, the FL was so weird and quirky and definitely did not fit the overly gorgeous stereotype of Korean actresses, so it was believable that she would be ostracized and called ugly. The love story is so sweet and cute, I adored it and it was the best part of the show. The backstory of the ML took precedence in the second half, and I was definitely intrigued and entertained, although there was a lot of soap-opera moments. The filming style looked super dated, almost like a daytime drama. A lot of the older side actors overacted, but the main character actors were great.

This show is only about a 5 or 6, but I give it an 8 because of how entertained and engrossed in the story I was!

Show was good around 12 episodes then it dragged on without much substance and very little story and should have ended with 16 episodes. Male lead is like a sloth character in zootopia. He speaks with the speed of 0.5 X . Romance buildup with cat and mouse fight was good in the beginning later after confession there were no chemistry at all from Male lead . Writers clearly pulled punches in portraying the negative roles and all is forgiven at the end is kinda lazy writing. Evil sister characters had a happy ending doesn't sit well with me. Female lead was absolutely gorgeous whenever she takes off her wig and look like a totally a different person . I liked her a lot without wig. Male lead acting a okay in the beginning episodes after 12th episode he became like how he acts in every other drama he is in. He is the great let down . He is fit for negative roles as how he acted in "The girl who see scents" Eventhough this story has been completely squeezed out its juice from every other drama that comes out. It could have a made it interesting with a screenplay but fail to do so. I had to fast forward most of the ending episodes. One time watch, does not present much of any rewatch value.
