The Hong sisters are becoming a safe bet for me, and I'm certainly not saying this for the first time, but they get better every year. I really love their double entendre and great balance of comic and dramatic aspects. Ji-sub So and Hyo-jin Gong are an absolutely unforgettable combination for me. The story of the bodyguard and Little Sun was also adorable, and that butler Kim was one of the most appealing characters ever to appear in a Korean drama, in my opinion. God, and that soundtrack! I can't wait to see what the writers have in store for us next year. (21.10.2013)

It kind of hit me right. I though it was cute, touching, cheerful, entertaining, and a pleasant viewing. Refreshing. I realize that it won't be as sweet and pleasantly watchable for everyone as it was for me, but it suited me. The acting, the music, the twists and turns, the plot, the characters (plus the main character wasn't the typical archetype of Korean soap operas, which earned it a lot of points from me). I enjoyed watching it and I didn't even feel the need to rewatch any scenes. Of course, it's not a clean 5 stars; I debated for a long time between 4 and 5, after the 16th episode I had even decided on 4 because it was already too drawn out for my taste (at least the 16th episode felt like that to me, that's why I was really worried about what was going to happen in the 17th one, where strangely enough it went back to the "old way" and I enjoyed it, it was just maybe too sweet). Bottom line, 5 stars, but just barely. EDIT: 24 Aug 2021 – so I watched it again and honestly I wasn't that into it anymore. Still very good, but not good enough for 5 stars. (08.10.2013)
