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.

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!

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...

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.

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.
