I was searching for a fun, light-hearted, short romantic comedy, and I found everything that I was looking for in this drama.

Story: The story line of this drama was alright. It was quite humorous on several occasions, and kept me chuckling throughout the ten episodes. There was, however, not as much romance as I had expected. I think that the directors could have taken a more intimate angle on some of the scenes, but other than that, there were few problems that I had with the storyline. The ending, however, disappointed me. In my opinion, it wasn't conclusive enough, and simply bugged me to no end.

Acting: The acting was alright. Most of the parts were played pretty well, but there were one or two roles that could have been cast with better actors.

Music: The music in this series was exceptional. It always fit the mood and setting, and the opening and closing themes were perfect for this drama. I personally had a fondness for the opening thing. And quite frankly, it reminded me of Super Mario Galaxy. ^__^ I wouldn't change a thing regarding the music in this series.

Satisfaction: I'd say that this drama was worth watching. It isn't the best drama that I've ever seen, but it was charming, and kept me occupied. It felt slow at some parts, but not enough to make me want to stop watching. Overall, I am fairly satisfied with this drama, and I think that anyone interested in a comedy drama, but doesn't have the time to start a long series, should try their hand at this one.
