Kang So Ra as Jung Joo

Not too shabby of a drama. Rather cute. The food looked totally yummy to me. I laughed and laughed over the older bro's gruff wooing technique over the diving lady... when he was totally out of his depth. I didn't fully understand the need for Gun Woo having to leave so abruptly.. i mean, yeah, ok, i get the whole relations can be a serious putz thing, and I got the whole, dad's a badguy, reason.. but the lady found out about the connection.. so why, then, did one set of the couples still have to leave? Nevertheless, Yes, it really will leave you with a warm and cozy feeling. Least favorite character(s): the gold digger, Mok Ji Won

An enterprising, and struggling girl, Jung Joo, gets taken for a song by friends, who left her practically penniless, holding onto a dilapidated and unlivable old tin-roofed house in a little shore-side town on Jeju island. before she can quite decide on what to do, she runs into an old school crush who is running his own cafe just for the road. He also is struggling a bit as the area is not exactly a tourist-made spot, his cafe is high-end, he doesn't get along with the locals, and is having difficulties with a well-to-do family, in particular, an older bro, trying to convince him to grow up. He makes a mistake of thinking the girl ill with a terminal illness so insists on helping her out without letting on that he knows.

Hwang Jung Eum as Kim Hye Jin / Jackson

Fun-loving drama pretty much clear through.. even if the cheek make-up was just a little too fake. Still, it seemed to fit her face well. She was pretty either way. favorite character(s): Shin Hyuk/Ten, for his goofy sense of humor, even if it was a little much at times, and Ha Ri, the hotelier and roommate, who was as easily independent as she was dependent.

A plucky 'average' looking girl, rooming with her best friend, receives news from an old crush, that he would like to meet with her. after he passes her by, not having recognizing her changed self, she gets her roomy to pose as her, and the roomy falls for the man. Soon after a long awaited job comes through and she's on the ground floor shuffling papers when her old flame enters the room as her new boss, she tries to escape notice, but a nosy fun-loving co-worker, who is more then he seems, gets in the way, making subtle.. and then not so subtle moves to get her attention.
