Optimistic
veterinarian Cha Yoon Seo works hard in her rural practice, trying to
make ends meet and pay off student loans. One stormy night she has a
run-in with a mysterious, attractive stranger. She finds the handsome
man drenched from the downpour and nearly unconscious, clutching his
bleeding torso on the steps of her animal hospital. He pleads with
her to not call the police, so she stitches him up herself. The
following morning CEO Lee Kang Hoon leaves before Yoon Seo wakes,
leaving a business card behind. What happens when Yoon Seo doesn't
call the handsome, eligible CEO to ask for compensation? Will Kang
Hoon be able to get the poor but beautiful and spunky business owner
off his mind? What will Yoon Seo have to say about his interference
in her life?
*This
is a pretty cute show, full of all our favorite kdrama tropes: the
eligible, arrogant and handsome chaebol can't get the unusual poor
but pretty girl off his mind, and in the process he comes across as
totally possessive and crazy, simply because he doesn't know how to
express his feelings very well. There's a disapproving mother, a
female frenemy, a love rival, and some sibling issues thrown in for
good measure. There are a few cheesy cartoon-like elements, like when
the animals are given thought bubbles, or when the main characters
blush, but I like that sort of thing! I really liked the actor who
played Kang Hoon's assistant – he was like the wise, unseen hand
that helped make things happen. The last couple episodes were a bit
slow, but it does have a good ending and plenty of funny moments
throughout. I'd watch this again.*
