Not your typical K-Drama

"I stopped watching K-drama when I was old enough to tell fiction from reality, but I have to say this series brought me back! K-Drama turns me off because it usually deals with contrive plots with forced plot twists, but this drama is antithesis of what's typical.



Gam Woo-Sung of "King and the Clown" is fantastic starring as an ordinary guy who's dealing with doldrum of a everyday life after a divorce. Son Ye-Jin "the Classic" also tries to deal with her own emotions as she tries to get on with her life after divorcing Gam Woo-Sung. However, they constantly end up bumping into each other because they're trapped in their everyday routine.



The two characters dance around the real issue they have to face to get back together, but you start to realize they're like the rest of us who are too weak and full of foolish pride that prevents us from realizing true happiness.



The series flows like a book as it is based on a award winning Japanese novel by Hisashi Nozawa, and acting is simply superb.



I recommend this series to all the K-Drama (or non K-Drama fans) fans who wants a break from love triangles and evil stepmothers, and experience something real and interesting about contemporary Korean love life."

Sad but captivating

"A sad but captivating love story for those who like to watch romance. Flows more naturally and real to life than the average Korean Drama. The music and acting are good."

Great!

"I really like this. I have to scoff at anyone who said bad acting. I think it was its own and managed serious stuff along side humor very well. I really cared about the characters. I would definitely recommend."
