Personally, I believe this K-drama is a must-watch if you adore romantic comedy such as “My Name is Kim Sam Soon” and “Full House”.

Thanks to her good-for-nothing father, a cheat and gambler, they’re always on the run, traveling from one country to...

There are many good Korean TV series out there, but this one is my favorite. It's a good combination of comedy, melodrama and eye candy. Love all three Lee's. The soundtrack is also awesome. Get BOTH the series and the OST.

Unforgettable storyline, acting, and music. Exciting from start to finish. Both light-hearted and deeply emotional. A must-see comedy romance.

There are many moments which made me smile, chuckle and laugh out loud. The overall story, however, was sad (not the ending though, don't panic!). The story was stretched out excessively - some parts were overdramatised, and overall I felt the series was too long. As for the 'chemistry' between the two main characters; I felt that they were very close, and could always find something to laugh and talk about, but somehow I couldn't sense the romance. The acting and comedy was great though.
