Story/Synopsis:

The life of Go Eun Chan is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul’s grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his “homosexuality”?

Essbee’s Opinion:

56% I know that everyone says that it’s REALLY GREAT. People have fallen in love with this drama. People got this in their TOP 5… However, I really really … really didn’t like it. Of course, I’m not the only one, but we are very fews. Why I didn’t like it? That’s because the beginning wasn’t attracting. The story could have been interesting, but it’s way too slow. This story isn’t comical enough nor dramatic enough… it’s too “normal”. I liked Yoo Eun Hye’s acting (she’s always so good :D) however I didn’t like her character. It’s not the first time there is a girl disguised as a guy, but here, it wasn’t interesting. Moreover, I didn’t like any characters… except some minor actors… And the OST was REALLY deceiving. I’m sorry for all the fans, but this is the first time I don’t understand why people loved this.
