Synopsis (Provided by Wikipedia):
A naive, cheerful albeit, somewhat of a recluse writer, Han Ji Eun is swindled out of everything she owns. Not by strangers, but her best friends! Stranded in China, she is determined to get home with the help of an actor, Lee Young Jae. She borrows money from him after coming up with a clever lie and plans to pay him back after landing in Korea, only to find that all which is precious to her has been sold. In an attempt to get her possessions back, she has entered in a contract marriage with Young Jae for three months. It is quite simple, until strong feelings start to develop. Everyone around them test the "love" Young Jae and Ji Eun have for one another.
In spite of it all, Ji Eun manages to be humorous and endearing - even when her heart is breaking.
Personal Rating: (3 out of 5)
= All right to watch if you have nothing to do.
Personal Commentary:
So my first Korean Drama, I was suggested this drama by a friend. Even though it was more laughs than 'aw`s' I guess it was all right. I wasn't impressed by the chemistry the two leads had with one another. After completing this drama, I decided the only reason why I agreed to watch it was because its sort of like Smiling Pasta, the Taiwanese Drama. The basic story plot was similar; a celebrity male marries a regular female. Even though at the beginning, both thought they would never fall for each other; throughout their time being married the two develop feelings for each other. However, they must overcome past crushes, former boyfriends and girlfriends. I reasoned that I liked Smiling Pasta way more, although the dance in this drama was just as cute as the one in Smiling Pasta!
