  I write this review right after I finish watching this series in one sitting (seriously, took me 2 days) and the feeling is still quite fresh: I like this series. Not a lot that I would watch it again and again but every once in a while I think I’d watch it, sorta like second favourite (My first favourite would be Dal Ja’s Spring and My Girl).
  To be honest I put off watching this series for a while, since there are many bad reviews about it and the rating wasn’t so good. I can understand why though: the script was well written but the plot was confusing (not so much) and unfocused, the acting in general were solid but not particularly outstanding, the chemistry between the two leads was there however it was hardly on par with so many other couples and the most important is the lack of passion, anticlimactic i.e this series doesn’t have much energy in it.So why do I like it?
  1. Hyun Bin! He keeps reminding me of his role in Sam Soon.
  2. The chemistry between the two lead. They delivered it well, not the best but memorable and the story of their love was quite sweet.
  3. The idea of the show was interesting (showing the lives behind the camera), the love story was refreshing though toward the end it became a bit predictable.
  The more I think about it, the more flaws I find in it but I still like this series nonetheless. So for how good the show is: 6, how I enjoy the show: 7.75

  I loved this drama. I can’t guarantee that everyone will love it but I did.
  The cast was great! Not just two leads but the rest of it as well. I couldn’t imagine anyone else to play a role in it.
  The acting is great. The chemistry is there. And this is a realistic drama, for me at least.
  Seeing how the things behind the cameras work was interesting, but honestly I was more taken by the relation of the characters. Up to the end they kept on growing.
  I enjoyed it. I fell in love with it. It’s a 10 out of 10 for me.

  side note^_^ to my review in the previous entry:
  I rate this drama a “Nine” based on my WithS2 rating system^_^:
  10- just had some thing unique, not quite seen before in a drama, along with likable about it to give it a 10
  9- would watch again and again (consider the fact that a favorite actor or couple may be featured^_^)
  8- could watch again if watching it with some one that has not seen it before to watch their reactions
  7- memorable and left an impression… too much drama or too long to watch again
  6- worth watching once if can’t find some thing to watch
  5- watched it and finished it because I started it and got quite far
  4 and below- would not watch again or had to stop watching!

  Hyun Bin… need I say more… yes, I need… Song Hye Kyo. Hyun Bin was some one I was waiting patiently to see on screen again since watching Kim Sam Soon and Snow Queen, so it was much like watching my other fav (So Ji Sub) where I would have watched the drama whether it developed nicely or not^_^.
  As this drama may have not had the highest ratings, it developed nicely for me, and I would watch it again. I really liked the simplicity the director created at times between relationship of Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo, but then at other times, you felt drawn into the emotions of trying to make a relationship work! Song Hye Kyo did a great job and was a pleasant surprise to see on screen as I had not seen her act sense watching Full House.
  This drama left with me feelings that seemed relatable to life and a simple realism to a drama that I don’t always feel. Plus, it was interesting to get a glimpse into the lives of a drama crew (made me reflect on those aspects). Oh, and this was my first time watching Uhm Ki Joon… his and other side characters helped aide to this drama’s charm.
