The story is about a poor girl name Ju Yoo Rin who is a tourist guide and an extremely smart liar. At the beginning of the drama, she pretends to search for her husband in the aeroplane so the tourist will not miss their flight. Unfortunately, her dad is a gambler and owes many gang members money. He flees off to Japan leaving Yoo Rin to take care of the money business.

Meanwhile, Seol Gong Chan is trying to find his long-lost cousin for his grandpa who has become ill and wishes to see his grand-daughter before he dies. Seol Gong Chan decides to use Yoo Rin to pretend to be his cousin until they find the real grand-daughter.

When Seo Jeong Woo (Gong Chan's girlfriend) returns from her success in tennis she decides to take Gong Chan back. He accepts her, however, Yoo Rin starts to fall in love with him. A complicated four-way love relationship begans with Sae Hyoon and Seo Jeong Woo going in between Yoo Rin and Gong Chan.

Characters

Lee Da Hae as Yoo Rin - A big fat liar but extremely cute and hilarious. This is my first time seeing her act and she did a great job in this series. Her character is very outstanding. I thought she was very funny, especially the part where she dresses up as a chicken. She did a great job crying as well at the end part when she confesses to her granddad that she was sorry for lying, and that it just comes out so naturally. This is definitely a memorable character.

Lee Dong Wook as Gong Chan - I didn't really like his character at first. It was a bit moody and serious, plus he wasn't very nice to Yoo Rin and I can't believe he took Jeong Woo back. However, his character starts improving when Yoo Rin enters in his world and he becomes more relaxed. I started liking him when he broke up with Jeong Woo and confesses to Yoo Rin that he likes her.

Park Si-yeon as Kim Sae Hyoon - A playboy at the start but then falls in love with Yoo Rin. His character was pretty cool, especially the scene where he saved Yoo Rin at the start of the drama. However, his character starts changing into a weak person and I don't really understand it. How can you like so many girls but then you fall for one at the end?

Lee Jun-ki as Seo Jeong Woo - She wasn't really a villain in this series, apart from taking Gong Chan back and trying to break him and Yoo Rin up by telling their granddad the truth. She helped Yoo Rin to get back with Gong Chan in the end. I didn't think her acting was that good. It was pretty average. There wasn't anything that was memorable in her acting.

The Review

This series is a great comedy! I loved it, especially the parts that had Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook. The couple was hilarious. The storyline is interesting and very funny at the start, however the mood changes and it becomes serious and sad towards the end. The reason why I give it a 4.5 because I thought it lacked a bit of chemistry. It's not that Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong Wook didn't have any but I don't see any romance between them. However, it is definitely one of the best Korean series I have seen and I would highly recommend you to watch it!
