I started watching this drama because of Jang Nara. After a few years, she makes a comeback with this KDrama after My Lovely Patzzi and I love her acting in MLP. I make a right decision because it is a really a good drama and worth my time watching it.

The main story is about a woman with lack requirements struggling to achieve her dreams. Then she fall in love in with a younger man. This is a taboo in our society but now it becomes a trend. The story is simple and feel close with our ordinary life. I think this is what it makes the drama so interesting because it feels real.

The main actors also did a good job. So Young character as an innocence woman with pure heart will makes you fall in love with her at first sight. While, Jin Wook character as playful guy but when it comes to love he will be confidence is so adorable. Both of them are so cute together and will always makes you smile and giggle with their cute antics.

I really enjoy watching this drama and It gives me warm feeling. I hope it will be the same with you guys too. Enjoy!

This drama grabs my attention because of their studded cast and was written by Hong Sisters, the popular writers that also wrote my favorite dramas like My Girlfriend is A Gumiho, You Are Beautiful and My Girl. Besides, I also love the heroin Gong Hyo Jin from her previous drama Pasta and looking forward for her acting in this drama.

This drama has a sweet love story that makes you smile even when you cried. Hong Sisters is really an expert in capturing our heart with their romantic comedy story. Like their previous dramas, this drama also have their own secret recipe that makes fan hooked and captivated until the end with their make believe story. This time they make celebrity life story as their main focus with the involvement of fanatic fans and anti-fans in measuring the popularity of a celebrity. Now everytime I heard or read words like ‘potato’, 'recharge' and ‘ding dong’, I will remember this drama.

I love how they create Dok Go Jin character as an arrogant man that can have everything with his popularity but have a weak heart. However, he never makes his situation as an obstacle for him to succeed. He always move forward either in career or love. His 2 different faces that always look cold and arrogant but can change to comical depends on situation is so hillarious.

I admired Gu Ae Jeong character as a woman with a big heart that always put other people feeling first. She doesn't care what will happen to herself as long as she can protect people that she cares. This is cliché to most korean Drama but who cares? Sometimes I am grinding my teeth when she makes decision that always unfavorable for herself but I am understand her reason.

The song selection for the Drama OST also was good. I love all the songs as much as I love the story itself and my most favorite song is Thump Thump (Dugeun Dugeun) by Sunnyhill.

This is another great drama from Hong sisters and it is worth your time to watch it! Now this drama is in my all time favorite KDrama List!

Happy 7th Year Debut Anniversary to Lee Seung Gi


This special entry dedicated for my favorite artist, Lee Seung Gi.

On 5th of June 2011 marked 7 years of Lee Seung Gi in Entertainment industry, he achieved a lot of love and attention from people around the world. With his good attitude and clean image I’m sure that he will stay longer in this industry.

He started as a singer, and then developed himself to be an actor and now he is one of the most promising hosts in Korea. It is not an easy job to succeed in all three fields that he interested in, but with his determination and hard work he manages to do it. If he maintains to be this focus and positive, I’m sure he will discover a lot of new good things in himself. Keep on exploring Seunggi-yah!

Eventhough it’s quite late, I still want to wish Happy 7th Years Debut Anniversary to Lee Seung Gi, an amazing man with a beautiful smile.
