Since storytelling is a form of art, it's not surprising there can be many differing opinions on a given story. While there are general rules for successful storytelling, it doesn't mean that straying from them will make for a poor story. Generally, the four primary characters saw development and growth from start to finish and the plot, while contrived, worked within the context of a romantic comedy. Also, there was never a time when you didn't know which characters you were supposed to root for.
Some of the acting was a bit stilted, at times, but never enough to detract from the image that was drawn on the screen. My only real problem was that Kang Ho was nearly too obnoxious in the early episodes to like. It was only when he saved Lee Mi-oak that you caught a glimpse of his warmer, more concerned side. Fortunately it was enough to keep me watching as his character continued to grow.
Though repetitive, the music tracks were touching and appropriate in the tender moments; something that can be hard to achieve without being sappy. I must say, my favorite scene was at the end of Episode 12 and continued in the beginning of Episode 13. I can't imagine a more wonderful depiction of sentiment and never has the phrase "sweet dreams" held greater meaning or been spoken with more sincerity.
All-in-all, if you like romantic comedy and don't mind the comedic aspects taken over the top, at times, you should enjoy this series. Most of the bad guys get their comeuppances and the romantic aspect between the two protagonists, though slow in developing, is still warm and kind.
