This episode was a bit more serious than the others and I'm guessing that's how it's going to be. But it wasn't any less entertaining! I'm loving the pace and the story! I love the little suspense scenes in which you're like "Are they going to find out?!" I'm glad I understand the business stuff because that's the problem I usually have with these kind of dramas. Give me a medical drama and I will tell you all the details of what they are talking about. But business? I don't have a clue. So I'm glad that it isn't overly complicated.
Min Suk's family and friends are so cute and funny! They make me really happy! Seo In Guk is amazing as always! He acts no naturally it's like he isn't acting at all!
I loved the Assistant Manager arc they played in this episode. The relationship between him and Soo Young was really sweet. I love how the office workers are your typical office workers, the type you can see in real life. All gossiping and stuff. I'm beginning to like Yoo Ah. But I have the same feelings about Soo Young i.e. sympathy.
Oh my Jin Woo let me give you a hug! I know what he is doing is wrong, okay? I know it! But look at him! Look at his face when he is about to break down. Look at him when his father is being such a meanie to him. Don't you see a little kid you would want to cuddle and soothe in your arms? Because I do. No matter what he does, how evil he becomes, I don't think I can stop loving him. Look at my broken dark angel! And look at Lee Soo Hyuk doing such a damn fine job playing him!
I'm loving this drama! It's been a while since I have seen something so entertaining! This drama would have been perfect if Lee Ha Na would have acted better. Because the story is awesome! And Seo In Guk and Lee Soo Hyuk are amazing! Even if it weren't for the story I would still watch it for these two amazing actors and their awesome characters!

Oh my God I'm loving this drama!! I really like where they are taking the story! I love how they take these typical Kdrama scenes and turn them into something different and funny. I love the humor in this drama! I love how the characters are written! They seem like real people with flaws and pasts and awkward situations. The actors have done such a brilliant job, especially Seo In Guk and Lee Soo Hyuk. I feel like they really understand the character. They have played them so naturally. I love dramas that stray from the stereotypes and make something different. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. In High School King of Savvy it definitely works and works really well!
Seo In Guk is amazing! Someone please give him an award! Boy, he is an amazing actor! I feel like he gets his character so well he becomes him. The expressions he makes, all his actions, his dialogue delivery, everything is just so good it leaves me in awe! I love how Min Suk teases and flirts with Soo Young. I'm glad that they didn't turn him into an all-rounder. It's not like he wore his brother's clothes and became him. He is always Min Suk, never anyone else. It's his own charm that has people liking him. He didn't become perfect at giving presentations overnight. He was just being himself. He is still a kid and I can see that because he acts like it. He acts like a kid and didn't magically become mature. I cannot thank the writers and directors enough for making such a great, non-stereotypical and deep, real character!
Speaking of deep, real characters someone please let me hug Jin Woo! I'm thinking he is supposed to be an antagonist? Well this girl is in love with the villain then! I'm very interested in knowing Jin Woo's story! I love how his character is written and I especially love how well Lee Soo Hyuk played him! I love his acting in each and every scene! When he says he's uncomfortable, he actually looks uncomfortable. When he is hurt or angry, you can see it in his eyes. The crying scene was so perfect! That's exactly how real people cry and there was nothing comical about it.
Soo Young on the other hand... I moved a step further with her in that I can tolerate her if I ignore her and I feel slightly sympathetic towards her. I can see what the writer was trying to create. I could have loved this character. But Lee Ha Na has made a mess of her! Soo Young is supposed to be different, socially awkward. Lee Ha Na tries too hard. I have no problem with the type of character Soo Young is. But Lee Ha Na tries so hard to make her weird that it is actually painful to watch her. She is supposed to make viewers like the character but she does quite the opposite. I really think she doesn't understand her character.
At the end I would just like to mention that I love Min Suk's grandpa! He is so cute and funny! Oh and awesome ending! I wasn't expecting this at all! Not so soon anyway. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Eeeeeppp!!! I'm fangirling so hard right now!! I love how this episode delved into the main characters more. We got to learn something important about each character. I'm loving Soo Young's transformation! It's gradual and believable. Her relationship with her sister is so sweet!
Min Suk's family is adorable! I love how straightforward Min Suk is. He is just so cute, all angry and jealous! Jin Woo is very intriguing! I'm hoping he believably becomes good or at least is a poor, misunderstood, alone soul because I just love him so much I can't bear him being all evil!
Seo In Guk and Lee Ha Na have amazing chemistry! But then again, Seo In Guk has great chemistry with any girl he works with! They are very cute and Min Suk's noona crush is very adorable!
I love how realistic Min Suk's character is. He is truly a teenage boy with raging hormones and a very straightforward attitude. He doesn't like the work politics and is not afraid to say what's on his mind. He has become one of my all-time favorite characters!
I can't wait for the next episode! I'm loving this drama so far!

Oh it's getting better! I like Ji Hyun Woo much better now! He still doesn't play the role that well, his 'cute' pout was weird. Joo Sang Gook did a better job in Cunning Single Lady of being cute. And the clothes he wears makes me facepalm! I mean he wore a shirt with pictures of pizza slices and coke cans on it! I miss my Kim Boong Do... BUT I really liked his acting in the serious scenes. The expression he shows in his eyes, I could see the love and heartbreak right there. The subtle actions, the slight smile, I think he acts really well in those scenes.
Jung Eun Ji is the best thing about this drama! She is perfect! Her acting is so true and realistic, I can feel all the emotions her character is feeling! I feel sad, angry, nervous, happy, right along with her! I love how instead of defending her father, she is angry at him. She loves him still and cares about him, but she is angry at him for leaving them. It's just so realistic a reaction! Many dramas fail to capture this realness so I am glad that she didn't defend him or start hating him.
I love her little sister and their relationship! She is so cute! But the actor, young as she may be, did a really good job portraying her! I loved that little girl!
I'm really beginning to like Shin Sung Rok! At first I was wary of his character but his character is so funny! His acting is pretty good too so even though his character is ridiculous, it is not overdone. So you can take him seriously. It's hard to play such a character well and Shin Sung Rok is doing a splendid job so far!
In the first episode the camera work and editing were weird and sloppy. I mean, what was up with the spinning? Was it supposed to be funny? It only annoyed me... It was the same in the beginning of this episode but it changed to normal after some time so I am glad.
I like where the story is going though there was some (a lot of) ridiculousness in between. Was the burying scene supposed to be funny? Because I found it absurd! And I'm getting tired of these irresponsible parents! What, in Korea all the poor parents having a hard time due to money and debts run off leaving their children to fend for themselves? It is not at all believable in this drama! I hope they give a good reason...
Even though there was a lot of ridiculousness, I began to enjoy it half-way through the episode. I even found some things funny. So that's better. Oh and I find it amusing that the husband from Secret Love Affair has kinda the same kind of role in this drama. Except now the poor guy doesn't have as much authority as he did before. Maybe because the wife left him. Poor guy ;)
I loved the music! Loved it! The music is really good! The singers have great voices and the songs are good too.
I'm beginning to like this drama. I really like the pace too. I hope they keep getting better like this. So far I have been able to tolerate Ji Hyun Woo's goofy acting but I hope that they either don't give him such scenes or that he gets better at them.

It was good for a first episode. It definitely caught my attention and kept it. I like the start of the story. There are a lot of mysteries and I can't wait to see where they lead!
I liked almost all the characters. Seo In Guk, as I expected, is pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised with Lee Soo Hyuk's role and acting! I have seen him in White Christmas and he was amazing in that but his character was very different so I was doubtful about his acting in this drama. I shouldn't have been because he nailed it! He was awesome and till now my favorite character!
I'll be honest, I hated Jung Soo Young! If it wasn't for the story and the rest of the cast I would've dropped this drama because of her. Before I start on why, please know that this is my opinion and in no way do I intend to offend anyone. If you liked her then it's fine. I respect that. I, on the other hand, didn't. She was stupid and annoying. I like my female leads strong and independent while this drama's female lead did not have any self respect and I did not pity her at all. Her sister was better than her, though not by much. I hope these two characters get better as the drama progresses, especially Soo Young as she is the lead. I don't know if Lee Ha Na is a good actress or not but I don't think she did such a good job, at least not in the first episode.
I did like the episode though and I'm eager to know what will happen next!

Oh I'm so loving where this is going! The story is getting so good! The acting is amazing as always! I'm beginning to like Soo Young, she is much less awkward. Plus I'm glad they are focusing on her life some more. Can't wait to see her transition!
I love how Min Suk acts like a kid. How he acts on impulse. And Seo In Guk makes the cutest pouty face! I'm really interested in Jin Woo's back story.
The music and comedy is great! This show makes me laugh out loud but also think about life in a serious way. I really like the OST!
Overall, it's going great up till now! Can't wait to watch the next episode! I hope they keep doing such a great job!

It's getting better! I'm loving Seo In Guk! I'm so glad that it's not the lead that has the mysterious past, but the second lead. Speaking of second lead, Lee Soo Hyuk is doing such a good job!
The progression of the story is good. There are some business terms and other stuff I don't understand, like the office positions. But I think it's due to my lack of knowledge about business stuff, me being a science student and all.
There were a lot of funny scenes that had me laughing out loud. The humor in this drama is good, not too cheesy.
I still have a problem with Jung Soo Young but she getting tolerable... maybe because she didn't show up much and when she did I mostly ignored her. And boy is Jung Yoo Ah annoying! But I guess that was deliberate and it's her character. I'm hoping for major character development for Soo Young.
I really really like Lee Min Suk's father, Choi Jang Ho, and his relationship with his father. Here's to hoping nothing bad happens to either of them...
Can't wait for the next episode! :D

Okay... First of all, what is going on with Ji Hyun Woo's clothes and hair?! I mean do singers really look like that? I haven't seen any like that. Maybe they like extreme fashion or whatever but he just looked goofy. Secondly, what is up with his acting? I loved loved LOVED Ji Hyun Woo in Queen In Hyun's Man! He did a wonderful job there! But here... I don't think he plays funny, narcissistic characters well. I know it's pretty hard to play a narcissistic celebrity and still be lovable but look at Jeon Ji Hyun in You Who Came From The Stars or Yoon Sang Hyun in Secret Garden. They pulled it off pretty well! But Ji Hyun Woo looked very weird and awkward. The scenes in which he was supposed to be funny came out embarrassing. I liked his acting in a couple of scenes but overall I didn't like him much...
Jung Eun Ji was so adorable! I loved her! Her acting was great and her character was awesome! Her character was kinda like the others I've seen in dramas but she did a really good job making hers stand out. I think the credit goes to her acting. She is a no-nonsense, strong girl and there was no awkwardness in her portrayal of her character.
What is wrong with Shin Sung Rok's character?! He was... extremely weird! A psychological problem? I don't get his role yet. But I'm not sure I like his character much, especially with the weird hair. I loved him in You Who Came From The Stars and I had high expectations for him. I can't really say much about him since he appeared for a very short time but I really hope his character isn't someone I would come to hate!
Lee Se Young was so pretty! I can't say much about her either because she appeared for only two scenes but she wasn't so bad.
I was surprised to see the husband from Secret Love Affair in this drama! His pole suited him well :P
The story... well until through half of the episode it was boring and I was thinking of dropping the drama. But then it became funny and interesting so I decided to continue. I hate that all the characters are related to each other somehow. It is way too unrealistic. Also, the drama doesn't seem something original. I know it's still too early to say but the stories seemed the same old drama stories.
The music was really nice! I loved Ji Hyun Woo's voice! And his guitar playing <3 Jung Eun Ji wasn't so bad either. I'm not a fan of trot music but it wasn't that bad.
All in all, it was enjoyable. I do hope it gets better...
