Minyeo Gongsimi

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.

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.

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...
