Review
In the first episode the main character, Nah-ra's (Han Chae-young), comic yet mellow acting really sparkled and the drama is getting reviews saying that the drama overall has a speedy development with comical elements here and there, which makes the drama fun to watch. Especially the scene when she puts on a slip and falls in the bathroom while trying to seduce her boyfriend or the scene where she puts on a breast battle with the other cheerleaders; one which made everyone burst into tears. --- MBC Global Media
SUMMARY:
Shin Na Ra (Han Chae Young), close to getting 30, with no job and no money, is dumped by her boyfriend of 7 years, Seung Woo. He went on a business trip in San Francisco and hooked up with Chae Mi Rae. Mi Rae works for a cosmetics company called the face shop as a manager.
Shin Na Ra, through some events, and without necessarily intending to at the beginning, pretends to be Seung Woo's cousin, Na Gyung, 20, and works at THE FACE SHOP as sales attendant.
While having a drinking spree, she meets Na In Jae, who accidentally drinks the ring Seung Woo gave her. The ring is to be digested and come out after one week.
At one instant, he sees the id of Na Ra' sister Na Gyung, as simply assumes that she is Na Gyung, 20. He agrees to give the ring back if she poses as a cheerleader for the the team that he coaches.
Na In Jae is the son of the owner of THE FACE SHOP. he eventually works with Na Ra. He is in love with Cha Mi Rae, but Cha Mi Rae was his brother's fiancee. His brother, In Jang died of a car accident. In Jae blames himself because he revealed that he in fact had feelings for Mi Rae, before In Jang took off with the car and died.
Many scenes such as the cheerdancing, the kiss at the bar (In Jae pretending to be Na Ra's boyfriend to get rid of a high school boy who fell for Na Ra and thinks that she is actually only 20), Na Ra's birthday, the shower scene, etc, were all endearing.
It is later revealed that Cha Mi Rae actually loved In Jae, and agreed to becoming In Jang's fiancee because she thought that In Jae does not and would not like her. (Being with In Jang, she will also be near In Jae). ***She then says to In JAe that it is not his fault that his brother died, because she also revealed before the accident to In Jang that she does not love him, but In Jae.
In Jae sticks with Mi Rae, prior to knowing *** because of guilt.
Overall, it is funny and the development is speedy, I would agree. Best romantic comedies are still (1) princess hours a.k.a palace a.k.a goong and (2) full house. Not bad are (1) lovers in paris (2)exhibition of fireworks and (3)wonderful life.
