Beautiful Gong Shim

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...

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!

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 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!
