Clumsy,
naïve Park Gae In finds out at the wedding that her supposed boyfriend Chang Ryul is
marrying her roommate and best friend, the calculating Kim In Hee,
leaving Gae In in need of a renter. Architect Jeon Jin Ho (played by
Lee Min Ho, yay!) wants to find out more about Gae In's unique Korean traditional style house for a
huge work opportunity. After a series of misunderstandings, Gae In
allows Jin Ho to move in because she thinks he is gay and therefore a
safe choice. Will Jin Ho land the bid for his struggling firm before
Gae In discovers his secrets, or will Gae In be taken for a fool once
more?
*I
really liked the first half of this show – good pace, super funny, intense romantic moments – but the second half really
dragged on and lost all its humor. It had a good ending, but again, I
didn't like how it became so dramatic. I'd like to see Lee Min Ho in
a more comedic role for sure, since he has that surly, stern
character down pat. I might watch this again.*
