Genre: Romance Comedy

Air date: March - May 2010
Cast:
Lee Min Ho - as Jeon Jin Ho, an architect who owns a small firm that is trying his best to win back his father's company that they lost in the hands of their competitor. He got mistaken to be gay by Park Gae In, the daughter of the owner of Sanggojae, the house that he needed to check out for it's architectural design to win in a bid for Dam Art Gallery. He lived with Gae In and eventually fell in love with her.
From the first time I watched Lee Min Ho in Boys Before Flowers, I've always found his acting to be really good. He's not just a pretty face but is actually very talented and this drama is no different. He didn't really do anything big that made me go wow here but he did his role well for me to believe it. Of course his good looks is a big plus (LOL =P) but his acting made watching the drama more bearable. ^^
Son Ye Jin - as Park Gae In, the current resident of Sanggojae while her father is not around. She's a very positive girl that trusts easily. She has a good heart but is very gullible which make people either take her for granted or use her. Jin Ho is the man that is by her side when she was broken hearted which made her fall in love with him.
Son Ye Jin is very different from her sweet image in this drama. Here, she's cute, funny, and adorable. I'm surprised that she didn't even get an acting nomination from KBS for her work in this drama. Because aside from Lee Min Ho, her stable acting is the only saving grace this drama had. If not for the 2 leads that are both adorable, I wouldn't even get past episode 6?
Summary:
Jeon Jin Ho's father lost his company because of the betrayal of one of his executives. At his young age, he promised to get everything back and worked with all his might to be a very good architect. His time has come with the Dam Art Gallery project. He has to win this project to save his small firm. He got information that the son of the owner of Dam Art Gallery really love the architectural design of Sanggojae which made him find a way to get inside it.
Park Gae In accepted Jin Ho to be a tenant in her house thinking he's gay. She was betrayed by her boyfriend and friend who got together behind her back. Then came Jin Ho that helped her get over her pain. He taught her how to become a woman that men desires. Living together with a very good looking and kind man, she can't help but fall for him.
That's basically the whole story, how the writer expected to last 16 episodes with just that premise is a big mystery to me. Adding lots of sweet moments that made my heart flutter did help, a lot, but after those moments, I'm back to waiting for something more to happen. I really felt bad that good talents got wasted for a drama with not much meat in it. I'm giving plus points for good acting, heart fluttering moments and the last episode that I liked which made me happy after watching the drama. =)
