Review:

My Overall Rating: 9.5/10

Storyline: 8.5/10

Acting: 9/10

Effectiveness: 10/10

First thing is first, I was never a fan of Bi (Rain) therefore I completely forgot the fact that he was even the star of this drama before I watched it (I didn't even know what his face looked like.)

My previous knowledge before being introduced to the drama was this:

-Rain was in this? (what I knew about him: Good dancer, Model, Singer, Actor?)

-Good drama

That was it.

So I went ahead and watched it.

It was brilliant.

Several times in the drama, it brought me to tears as in bawling my eyes out. And throughout the entire series I was thinking: Dude! How can you be so stupid?! You should be doing this or doing that!

And thus, you would know I was really into the drama.

Love: The build-up of the relationships in the characters weren't too rushed, they went at a nice even pace when it came to getting over old love, getting into new love and the process of denial and acceptence. I gotta say, this drama kinda brings all the fangirl's dreams to life. I mean, having a celebrity that you suddenly meet and being forced to marry and live with them. It's nice in some ways right? Well either way, between the love and the comedy of the two main characters, it's the most beautifully acted thing you can find. Time to fall in love with Rain all over again! (Or start anyways :P )
