Comments
This drama was shown in 2005, but I first saw it in 2007
through a local television. During that time, I was really
busy being a university student so I didn't really follow on
the story. But I found it amusing, witty and very funny.
Then last 2010, I bought the DVD copy of this with an above
average subtitle. I really love it.

My favorite character is Choi Sang-hyun. He is very funny
and sweet. I was rooting for him all the way. I usually like
the clean-looking guy, but he is more on the other side.
Still, he got me. Maybe, because he is a cop and he has a
golden heart, helping people in need. It can also be his
sweetness. Kim Joo-hyuk is truly an amazing actor, no wonder
he won several awards for this role. He is not the most
gorgeous actor but he has a certain appeal. He's very
natural and he's a different kind of hero. Anyway, I like
him a lot.

Jun Do-yeon as Yoon Jae-hee is also brilliant. She is just a
joy to watch and she is also very natural. It is very funny
how Jae-hee pretends not to follow or not to care about
Sang-hyun and how she always ends up being caught. She is
doing everything she can for him to notice her, stalking
him, waiting for him outside the men's comfort room, eating
lunch twice, visiting him in the police station, etc. She is
very humorous and has a stunning smile. I just didn't like
her fashion and wild hair.

I really didn't care much about Ji Young-woo and Kim Hye-joo
(the exes) nor with Kim Min-joon and Yoon Se-ah (the
actors). They just sucked the energy out of this drama.
Well, l guess we need them for the story to keep going. He
is so clingy, who would think that the girl you left broken
hearted five years ago would still welcome you with open
arms? She is an ambitious bitch who wanted to get rich in a
very unsettling way but got very unlucky. It serves them
right.

On the other hand, I like the kiddos. Yoon Gun-hee and Jung
Yeon-soo look good together. They have this unusual
connection. They meet and he calls her bitch. They meet
again and he takes her home. They go out for a date and they
donate blood. It's nice to watch the younger Jang Geun-suk,
he is adorable. He has gotten so far since that time. And
what the hell happened to Kwak Ji-min?

I have watched several dramas eversince, but this remains my
all-time favorite. I love the OST, especially the opening
song. The script is very witty and funny, laughter ensures.
I just think that it is imposible for the president's
children to have low profiles, like people are not aware of
who are them at all. The story got too draggy in the end
too. I think sixteen episodes are more than enough. Alas,
this is an eigtheen-episode drama.

I think this is better than 'Lovers in Paris,'� considering
this is the second installment of the 'Lovers Series.'� I
might watch those dramas again to check. I would love to see
Jun Do-yeon and Kim Joo-hyuk together again in another
romantic comedy drama or movie. Hopefully, soon enough
before they are too old and the story to be too awkward to
be funny.
