this one is a fan favourite and rightly so, except that it didn't really stick with me as much as a great drama should...
park seo joon as ji sung joon
he's everyone's favourite right now (ref: fight for my way, kill me heal me, hwarang) and i can see why, do you see that adorable smile? plus the great acting skills and a nice body, i'm sold.
hwang jung eum as kim hye jin
always a pleasure to watch (ref: kill me heal me, listen to my heart, the undateables), she sure knows how to pull off her rom-com roles.
choi siwon as kim shin hyuk
i won't even lie to you, his character stuck with me more than anyone else and he was my favourite person on this show. so!! freaking!! hilarious!!
koh joon hee as min ha ri
she played her character really well and i guess there is some sympathy involved... or is there
plot :
- reversed roles with childhood sweethearts based in the fashion magazine industry
- pretty fl turns "ugly" (tho the only issue was with her hair whOops) and "fat" ml turns handsome
- fl swimming in a poOol of lies by making her pretty friend pretend to be her in front of her first love
- confusion and mistakes arise for the ml and you'll sit there facepalming everytime he belittles her
- sTRONG second lead syndrome i need me a shin hyuk in my life who will love me for my ugly self
- there were a lot of cute moments between all the leads and i gotta say, though i can't remember much of the plot itself, i do remember wanting to give the sl the biggest hug ever
so if anything... watch it for the sl because i was rooting for him till the end :((
my overall rating for the drama is 9/10
i would have given 10 if it was not for the fact that nothing about the drama really stuck in my memories, it was a great watch though but not with enough re-watch value. it has humour, romance and some drama in it due to hye jin's plan to not show her true self to her first love so plot-wise it was good and i enjoyed it! all the actors did well in their roles (dare i say especially siwon).
if you're looking for a sweet rom-com with some eye candy then this is the one for you!
