If I can sum up this how it would be "one hot mess". I don't know who wrote such an appalling script and cast an over actor as the main FL but they did and they should never do it again.

The series started out with the world"s most annoying woman being utterly ridiculous, with a spray that sent Siwon into "OMG I WILL NEED TO HIDE FROM EVERYONE", to that little weird storyline disappearing without a trace.

The mid section dragged on for a pointless eternity (the only good part was the cameo with Leetuk and Shindong) and I found myself so annoyed by the FL that I realised I had spent a whole episode with my face in my iPad than on the tv.

I suffered until the end because of sheer determination and thank the Good Lord the woman stopped shrieking like a crazy woman finally in the last episode and became somewhat a normal human being.

Points to note: wasp stings do not put you into hospital unless they get you a zillion times. Calling an ambulance was just bizarre. They also don't require a giant plaster and she'd be writhing in agony from just the one, not googly eyeing him.

Also, if he tells you to GET LOST half a zillion times, he does not want you and his feelings will never change. EVER. I've never seen cling wrap that clingy.

Watch it if you like hysterical screeching & stupid women, or for Siwon. He's cute.

This is quite a good show, lots of fun, action, mystery, fantasy, plotting by evil relatives.... it has quite a lot going for it. The actors all fit the parts well and are rather nice to watch. The scenery and sets are beautiful. The plot is great.... (although I still can't figure out how someone with no ID, no experience and no background can get a job in Korea, but dramas always allow it!!).

My biggest issue, and it seems to be growing with plague proportions with kdramas, is the use of what I could pretty much call a Handicam to film. It shakes like no tomorrow. It is supposed to invoke emotion I guess, but all it does for me is invoke seasickness and reaching for the bucket. Episode 4 has it pretty much in every scene so far and I'm reaching for the anti nausea tablets.

A great show I'd like to finish, but probably can't and it makes me so mad.

Why oh why do they think shaking the camera like a blender makes things more serious in emotion or action or..... anything? I want to like this. The storyline is good. Lee Seung Gi is great. The nephew is great. Bae Suzy is as annoying as ever. Yet the action scenes made me so nauseous and nigh on vomiting I don't think I can make it to episode 2 without a tonne of ginger and a bucket, which is a shame.

It's nice to see a Korean drama filmed outside of Korea, and Morocco is truly amazing. I want to see more. I'd like to watch the rest and see how this pans out, I'm just not sure I can stomach it.
