Him-ssen yeo-ja Do Bong-soon

Loved this show. First ever K- Drama for me (live in the US) & it surpassed every show, series, movie, etc. I have ever seen. (Not to give away my age but it has been quite a few decades.) The show is excellently written, has good flow, & the acting/directing/costume (basically everything) was superb! The chemistry amazing w/ the leads! I found it on Netflix w/ English subtitles & it has been watched several dozen times. I really hope the writer does more screenplays!

I am an Indian and have recently started watching K-dramas. I would really say that this show is just so so lovely. From the perfect comic timing to mushy romantic scenes to the hints of thriller and suspense it has it all. The lead pair have crackling chemistry even though when the story is not cliche where you get a docile and submissive female lead. Park bo young is super cute and adorable that you certainly fall in love with her. I felt like crying whenever she cried and laughed when she was all happy go lucky. About the actor Park hyung sik I just loved him from the start to end. He is funny, cute,hot, emotional and have the power to make women dream about a man like him. The way he looks at Bong-Soon and caresses her in romantic scenes are so gooey and dreamy that you will fall in love with him. His expressions and emotions whenever Bong-soon shows affection towards him are just so so so good that you want to see him even more. I am appreciating it more also because most of the shows doesn't portray the emotions of the male leads so transparently but this show does that and I found it quite amusing.

The one thing I did not liked about the show were the side stories and extra humor added by other characters. I had to skip those parts as I found it quite boring and they did not contribute much to the story. I guess the leads were good enough in adding the humor quotient to the show. Instead of those parts i would have really loved to see some more romantic moments of the lead couple.

The writing and the acting of this little series is extremely good. The chemistry between the two leads, Park Bo Yeong and Park Hyung Shik, is so good it is fun just to see them interact. I believe Bo Yeong won a best actress award for this and she is natural, brilliant and adorable, but Hyung Shik is probably the best male actor I've seen in K-drama. Often the players in k-dramas are wooden and the writing stilted, but this story just flows, even with the number of obligatory slow-mo almost-kiss eye-2-eye staring scenes. I enjoy Korean films and TV dramas, with their endearing flaws; this series kept all the good and was nearly flawless. A really enjoyable watch.

The positives are the couple are cute as a button and not annoying. Park Hyung Shik and Park Bo Young are adorable together. The powers are fun at first. The kidnapper story is quite interesting and a little scarier than expected for a rom com. Ji Soo is convincing as the cop. What didn't quite work was the idiotic gangster fights. Repetitive and unfunny. Maybe too many episodes. Some drag at the end. The end is complete.

This is only the second Korean drama I have watched and I gotta say it's started an obsession. The leads are cast perfectly, Hyungsik Park is one multitalented man I sure hope he gets noticed globally. Plot was super and entertaining. Was funny, dramatic and romantic. AAA+
