KIM RAE WON need I say more? He's got that smile that just helps melt away all your troubles. He's the kind of actor that rarely disappoints and this drama is one of the good ones.

13 years later Hye Jung (Park Shin Hye), is no longer a reckless student, but is now a neurosurgen and happens to work in the same hospital as her mentor Ji Hong (Kim Rae Won).

With each having their own personal agenda in mind they face face a few dificulties not only within their relationship, but in the operating room.

Waste of time
6 March 2024
No matter how hard I tried I could not make myself watch till the end. To be honest if it wasn't for the story (has potencial) or the cute CEO I wouldn't have given it 5 stars.

I found the leading female to be rude, inconsiderate, disrespectful for others and she still believes she is entitled to ev everything. Down right annoying. I was deeply disappointed.

The leading man, like most, was proudful, order freak with a tad or a germaphobe. I guess it's understandable when you are just filling in for the true heir Gu Jin Yu (Daniel Zhang), while he is out partying and having a good time.

It all becomes a big mess when feeling start flying around and jealousy comes in to interrupt a perfectly laid out plan.

An unlikely pair
5 March 2024
Twists and turns and back again over and over again.

I started this drama at least 4 times before really sitting down and watch further than two episodes.

Actors ***** Action *** Imtrigue **** Villains **** Romance ***** Sidekicks *** Jealoous Shrew ***** Nagging Parents ***** Annoying Grandmother ***** Comedy *****

From the moment they meet they absolutely hate each other. But as we all know there's always a fine line between love and hate. Little did they know that his grandmother has a mind of her own and will not stop until she gets what she wants. A grandchild.

Reluctantly and sure they would never find true love, they agree to the arranged marriage. Through the bickering and the over nagging familly they make their way as a couple.

Will they finally find love together or will they make their seperate ways?

disapointed but has potencial
22 February 2024
I'm not sure if I like this or not till the point where I don't know what top say.

This could habe been a great drama if it wasn't for the spineless though very sweet main lead. The main character is handsomne and extremely arrogant with an emotional past linguering all around him. His best friend seems to fall in love with the same girl.

The jealous shrew is who she is just beacause her friend, her mentor, her idol, takes her love interest.

This has so much potential but something is missing all around. I watched it to the end just to find out how it ends and who stays with the l;eading man.
