Web Summary: The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"?
JM's Review: When i first watched it i will honestly say that i felt it was a bit boring. The story of Eun Chan and Han Kyul is sweet but it lacks some spark to make the viewers want to watch it again. I personally would watch some of its episodes but i feel that the story takes too long. There are a lot of gender bender type dramas and i think this one is not so amazing as i first thought it would be. Dont get me wrong, i love how they all portrayed their characters, its just that the main characters are a bit boring for my taste. There are tender moments which makes me want to cry but sometimes it just gets a bit cliche.
Final Verdict: So-so drama. It has its sweet times and funny times but it doesnt make watchers want to rewatch it. *le grin*
Overall Rating: 6/10
Recommendable? I would recommend this to some people who have patience since it has 17 episodes. If you are a first timer to watch a drama, i would not recommend watching this as your first. ^^
