So this drama starts a little slow. We have a young lady running around a lot and talking very loudly. She is the main character Jin Pal Kang. At first I did not really like her character because she was very selfish and it looked like she did not help her poor family. She was just childish and even though her family tried to give her a reality check, she was living in her fantasy world, that one day she would be swept off by her prince who she considered to be Kang Ha. After the death of her family she grows up and matures. We see a very different side of her and we start to like her more. You end up cheering for her and want her to succeed. Something that kept me watching this drama was actor Kim Ji Hoon who played Kang Ha because he is very hot. Apart from his hotness he is a great actor and I love the way he plays a cold hearted man who is afraid to show any emotion. So if you are used to Korean drama you know that there is usually a love triangle in every drama. The nice guy who in this case is Kang Ha's brother falls for Pal Kang, while Kang Ha secretly falls for Pal Kang, but Pal Kang likes Kang Ha. The question is who does she end up with? Im not going to give you the answer but I believe its obvious. Doesn't everyone love a bad boy. Anyways I love that this drama has kid actors in it they give the drama a touch of comedy which is great. We also get to see the struggle of loosing both parents and being homeless from the eyes of these children. Its heartbreaking but everything ends well. If you are looking for a drama that will make you cry, laugh and fall in love this is the one for you. I loved this drama and it has become my favorite. Not only does it have comedy, love, tears it also has crime. We find out that the death of Pal Kang's parent was not an accident but was caused on purpose. I really hope you enjoy watching this drama like I did.
Score: 4/5
