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!
