This drama made me cry , laugh and get annoyed along with the characters .

TBH , watching it in 2022 , it felt like nothing special from the story perspective, as we have multiple such K-dramas available , with similar storylines , where the FL pretends to be the guy and stuff , but the execution was so damn beautiful , I bet in 2007 it would have blown people's mind ! I loved how they focused on the 2 main love stories , one being the matured and other the immature one ! the relationship building between both the couple's is beautiful .

I would have given it a 10 , if only the female characters were written a little better. All of them sucked and yet got whatever they wanted , without much pain ! I loved all the prince in the coffee prince , though !!

This is not just an issue with this drama , I can see this in most K-dramas , that the writers do not put much effort in building reasonable female characters ! They are all unreasonable and annoying poor girls who would first go for the money and then they won't respect their creditor and then suddenly develop this huge pride ! We want more strong female leads characters , like those in hotel del luna , its okay not to be okay for instance.

Here too the FL is immature , unreasonable , annoying and practically mooches off the ML ! She deceives him and then forces her feelings on to him , makes him accept his feelings only to turn down his marriage proposal , holding her stupid pride , when he becomes desperate ! on top of that people near her are not even holding her responsible or giving her proper suggestions !
Most will think that the ML was the toxic one , but I can totally understand him ! He agonised over being a homo , and practically overcame the fear of family and friends to accept his feeling (This was a beautiful moment for me , how he accepted his love even when he knew that he wasn't a gay), only to find his trust shaken off ! Moreover right after they get back together , the FL hardly spends any time with him or discuss anything with him ! She suddenly developed the feeling of being independent (she was asking 1 million won just to be standing with him earlier), so much so she can't marry him ! I mean people study even after marriage !! What ws the big deal ?? she gave him all the reasons of not leaving her family when he asked her to move to New York , but easily took his grand ma's favour to move to Italy !!!!! Though they have shown to discuss these moments fairly , but she gives in all the time , means that she wants it , doesn't it ? Then again why hold the stupid pride , respect people for their help and be available for them , that's what life is about , no one can survive all alone in this world ! Similarly with yoo-joo and Eun-sae , they get the guys so easily , even after being so ridiculously selfish and giving them the hard time ! I wish the k writers focus more on female character development in rom-coms as well !

Thats the only negative I had ! If I leave it be , I can just rewatch it for gong-yoo and Jung-an . I mean they are just so beautiful , it doesn't feels like one is watching a 15 years old series , they are so perfect in their attire ! And Kim jae-wook , he is so pretty here ! Loved the ending it was satisfactory for all the prince !
