Korean movies has made a stellar rise in quality in the 21st century much like the way Hong Kong movies did in the '80s. This movie is one of the best example of these excellent Korean movies.
A very likely story of a girl going through love troubles, and a very unlikely story of her getting involved with the head of her company comprises the plot of this funny, and very well made movie. The movie has drama, comedy, romance, and good acting. Production is super clean and each scene has opulence to it.
The drama, and romance is as good or better than any Hollywood movies produced. It's envious that people of Korea can contemplate on making a movie with romance like this.
This movie is a must see if you are an Asian drama, or a romantic comedy fan.

Fantastic !!
Fantastic Movie .. a MUST watch
This is a fantastic movie. An out and out Mills & Boon romance with a dash of comedy keeps us entertained from the first scene to the end. Superb direction by Sang-Woo Kim (Nominated for this pic for the Best Director - Grand Bell Award.) Great cinematography. Fantastic acting by the hero, Daniel Henney (nominated for this pic in the Best New Actor category),as the (ultimate, M&B hero) boss and Jeong-hwa Eom as his Analyst Assistant who is a softie when it comes to love and is a prime candidate for being dumped by her boyfriends.
The chemistry by the two leading actors is as excellent as the chemistry between Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. A must see movie for all Mills & Boon readers and Romance movie fans. Go fall in love!!!!!!!
So disappointing
The lead actors are adorable and the premise charming, but this movie simply did not live up to its potential. The plot was difficult to follow and would jump from one scene to another with little or no explication. The plot had major holes and characters were insufficiently drawn. It was often difficult to know a character's connection to the protagonist. One character in particular seemed to jump back-and-forth between mere longtime friend, former girlfriend, and former girlfriend trying to become girlfriend again. Motivations were fuzzy. The whole movie was so choppy that you had to wonder if the editor was under the weather when he or she decided what to leave in and what to take out. Really pretty awful movie.
