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.

I watched it to the end , but was rewarded with writing that was an insult to one's intelligence.
The 2 main characters did not seem to fit together in appearance or temperament. She was so violent towards him at times. It is not okay just because she is 'cute'.
The dysfunctional conglomerate family is there, being their own worst enemies. Even the Gong Shim's family treats her appallingly so no wonder she has hair falling out. The mother & father just didn't seem to fit as a couple.
The sister is the worst performance here. Why doesn't she open her mouth more to speak? There is no expression & no endearing qualities in her character, so she does not deserve to be given a second chance.
The whole kidnapping drama dragged on for far too long. How was it, after 26 years, that the grandma could not have paid someone to find out some of the details that Ahn Dan-tae found out in a matter of days?
The product placement was so obvious. Subway must have shares in every Kdrama & the nivea product placement in the convenience store was laughable.
Kdrama can present a lot better.

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!

Seriously, who else hates slow walkers? I think i've now found a new goal in life thanks to this scene in the show! I was a bit annoyed at the wig and the bad clothes at first, but this show has grabbed me, mostly because of the cheeky humour and great acting by the rooftop tenant. I haven't finished the series yet, but i know this will be one worth finishing as the story is becoming more interesting and mysterious episode by episode.
I don't speak Korean, have never been to Korea (but adore Korean food and get jealous at every food scene) and am growing to love these funny mini dramas! I wish my country had fun shows like these!
More! More!

Most of this show is enjoyable. It's a warm funny series with some laugh out loud moments and some touching parts too. The dialog is well written. All told with a comic tone that keeps things light and entertaining and moving along. The story has some familiar plot devices like the birth secret but they are handled freshly. There are a few faults. Some of the acting cute segments were annoying and there was an out of place small twist in the end. But I looked forward to each episode. And you get a lot of closure with a complete ending.
The cast is great. Namkoong Min acts the comic romantic part well here. He played a villain to perfection the year before in Remember War Of the Son. What a difference. Bang MinAh of GIrl's Day does a great job at acting as the plain girl with a lovable personality - so different from her K Pop persona. On Joo Wan as the kind Jun Soo is quite likable. The parents of Gong Shim and the cousin Jun Soo are quite funny and well cast too and may be familiar to K drama fans. The villains are good too like the selfish sister.
Another very enjoyable show "My Love by My Side" has a slightly similar comic vibe and birth secret and features some of the same cast like grandmother and On Joo Wan.

This series really got on my nerves. Why the hell did they dragged it on to 20 episodes? They could finished it in half.
It started out very funny and light hearted but it became exhausting. The thrilling part was nerve racking not because of the suspense but because every episode something came up causing the culprit from not revealing.
The whole second part of the series is about finding the kidnapper so the romance between An Dan-tae and Gong Shim disappeared to the background and with that the funny, light hearted vibe of the series.
Luckily the last episode became "normal" again, although it missed one important event...

Justice for Jun-su. They did him dirty for the sake of drama and filler. Poor guy didn't even get the girl. It was clear from the get-go that he wouldn't, and I hoped he wouldn't get THAT consolation prize.
Anyway, came here hot off the heels of Chief Kim and I can clearly see the seeds of that character in Nam-koong Min's mannerisms here, so I was a little disappointed by that tbh.
But the drama is clearly a product of its time - long, bloated, there's chaebols, inheritance issues, some murder, rich man - poor girl dynamic, iron lady type grandmother, the lot. Had I seen it a few years ago, like among my first kdramas, I probably would've loved it, there's a lot to love if you haven't seen many of these. Otherwise it gathers pretty much all of the tropes, except the leading men here are not that objectionable as they used to be in the past, so that's a positive.
Gong Shim is a sweet girl and I really liked the feisty side of her. I was disappointed when that went away, only to reappear here and there. Also, only in kdrama is this girl considered unattractive. Even with that wig she's very pretty. She's got self-esteem issues but I got tired of her woe is me attitude and the constant failures that are plaguing her. Her parents are very unsupportive, unlike with her sister. Her own sister undermines her at every step and I was upset she never gets her comeuppance for all the awful things she did to Gong Shim. She only confesses to her misdeeds in the last episode, but not to her sister, who got her chances taken away from her. Of course that was serving the plot cause Gong Shim had to suffer all sorts of indignities and setbacks to find her way to Dan-tae somehow. That's what happens when you have to fill in twenty episodes. As for Dan-tae I hated how he backtracked on his feelings for some stupid reason that would never hold up and he hurts her and by the time he "accepts" that he can no longer hold it in I was no longer rooting for him at all. And that year abroad of no contact is again such a damn trope, together with ensuing misunderstandings I'm just tired of him. Granted, this was made literally ten years ago but come on... I really liked about eight episodes of this (kind of how it happens with most dramas that I'm not satisfied with), then I started to take breaks from it, my interest in it came and went and I struggled in the second half when they were scapegoating Jun-su and concentrating on the murder-mystery part. That took way too long and basically in the last episodes I was just going through the motions, waiting for things to happen as you'd expect them to. They throw in a couple of twists towards the end just so you don't get bored but I kind of resented that too.
I started this drama sometime in the winter and I willed myself to finish the last three episodes today. So I kind of have a love-hate feeling toward it cause there was a lot to love in the beginning that didn't pan out. I'm tempted to give it a lower rating cause of my frustrations with it but objectively speaking it's mid, like most of them.

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!
This is only one of the plots, the other is a plain Jane sister struggles through life from one job interview to the other and exists on part-time jobs, but her older sister, who received the good looking genes, becomes a lawyer. Reason I only gave this show a rating of 7, is because it is squarely aimed at the Korean audience, a number of the characters, over act, maybe the age of the show, 2016, might be to blame, also there appeared to be the odd glitch in editing, when trying to explain a scene, by playing a scene from a earlier time period, it wasn't as smooth as it could be. Maybe, at the time, they were allowing there to be another season, but the ending was very lame. If you've aquired the taste for K-Dramas, then you might give this one a look, see.

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.

The pace of the story is a bit too slow. The drama could be much better if it is shortened. Like I am watching kdrama 10 years ago.
Except the pace, I would say, all other aspects satisfy me. The sophisticated plot is logical and sensible.
The house with a rooftop house, flower pots on the rooftop, convenience store on ground floor...is a perfect house for shooting of the drama.
Female lead is cute and warm-hearted. Her appearance and dressing suits perfectly her character.
I like the serious male lead more, though it is still satisfactory for him to perform in comedy. With his participation, the drama would at least be over average. He should be very careful in choosing drama to act.
Second male lead is cute, like your average neighborhood boy. His performance is complimentary to the first male lead.
All in all, an ok drama to invest your time.

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.

All in all, it was okay, I didn't immediately fall in love with the drama, but it didn't really grab me later either. Maybe because I don't like old K-D. less, on a visual and technical basis. From the beginning, there was no intrigue to look at, since all cards were exposed. You just knew who the missing grandson was and where he was and who the perpetrator was. No secrets.
It was funny how the two main characters interacted with each other, their mutual behavior and the violent side of Gong Shim. In addition, the wig was very annoying and I hoped that she would take it off for some episodes. Conclusion: was not my thing ...
