Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol

I've decided to split this review into two parts. Part 1 about episodes 1 - 15. Part 2 about episode 16.

Part 1 Excellent 9.5 out of 10. A real rollercoaster of a ride. Every single actor/actress played their parts to perfection, from the 6 year old boy all the way through to the 80 year old gent. If you like a good tearjerker story with funny elements, sprinkled with lots and lots of happiness this is the drama for you. The lead actress (Go Ara) who plays Goo Ra Ra is such a delight to watch, she plays the part like it was her last ever job. The lead actor (Jae-Wook Lee) who plays Sunwoo Joon (Jun) only has the one expression but its an absolute winner. The supporting cast do their upmost to stay as good as the lead two and do an admirable job.

The story is of an heiress to a very large cosmetics company but unfortunately it hits very bad times and closes its doors. At the same time her father passes away. So her fathers secretary informs her to go into hiding so the creditors don't take everything from her. Unfortunately a flat purchase goes horribly wrong and she ends up penniless.

She goes away to Eunpo and meets by accident (literally) a depressed young man who goes out of his way to help her in every situation. Over the course of the drama they fall in love.

It might sound like every other romantic drama but this is a must watch, you will fall in love with everyone.

Part 2 Terrible 1 out of 10. The 1st 45 minutes would deserve a 7 out of 10 because the actors did a stellar job. But the last 15 minutes drags that 7 out of 10 kicking and screaming down to a 1. It is the worst ending any drama has ever had. This makes the Dallas shower scene actually believable, it's that bad. DO NOT WATCH IT.

I really enjoy this story. And I think the male lead really made this story fantastic. The strong silent type who is overprotective of his lady love and simply wants to provide for her. Unraveling his mysterious background and his story made this love story all the more appealing. The lady love Ra-ra was ridiculous. She was ridiculous because she was below average intelligence. And that's putting it nicely. Her lack of intellect was so off-putting but she had a charm about her which was sadly quite infantile. Still, I was able to enjoy the story for the main male lead actor and the second male lead actor were both appealing gentlemen. Rara and the teenage girl were a bit annoying at times but overall, I still found Ra-ra somewhat likeable, I just found her dumbness annoying. She had zero life skills and it took a young man who is her Junior and significantly younger than her to help her survive. Which really was pathetic but at the same time romantic. In one scene he even indicates to one person that his lady love wasn't that bright. But she was bright in spirit and talented , which cheered everyone up who was around her.

The last half hour of the final episode was horrific. And I mean this is the worst ending in kdrama history. I doubt very seriously that there is another show that could surpass how absolutely abysmal and how utterly dumb the ending was. The show has its charms and I would have given the show and eight, possibly higher, but I deducted a point for that ending. I was so appalled. I noticed that k-dramas have a tendency of not ending their shows well but this one took the cake.

In general it was good, the music, the actors, Ra ra was so sweet and beautiful. But the final was so so, without sense.

What an amazing and refreshing drama! Original idea and I actually loved the personality of the characters. Not your typical script, I was enjoying it a lot until the last episode, what were they thinking with that ending?!? Felt so rushed, illogical and stupid, I am so shocked, it was going so well and then they completely messed it up! Such a shame, it could have been awesome.

This was the 2nd K-drama series that I watched and I absolutely loved it right up to 1/2 way through the last episode. I don't understand the ending. It felt like an exec lost a bet and and had to go with the worst ending option on the table. Nevertheless, the cast had fantastic acting skills, especially Jae-Wook Lee and Go Ara. I was hysterically crying and then having those happy memorable moments constantly as the story developed. Such a great intricate storyline that kept you engaged with trying to put all the pieces together. Just when you thought you had it all figured out, they would throw you a curveball and you had to start over from scratch. Great series overall and I would highly recommend it. I just wish they would redo the ending in order to maintain the integrity of the characters' depth and actors' talents. To be honest, it felt like the actors couldn't believe the ending themselves.
