REACTION: (Times Watched: 3)

This K-Drama is one of my favorites and once you watch it it will be yours too. It’s so funny that
sometimes scenes will just come play in my head and I can’t help but laugh. This show is comedy
gold. It makes me want to watch it over and over again.

Its style of cinematography is similar to one of an actual comic book. It’s fun, interesting and hilarious.
The relationship between Do Bong-Soon and Min-Hyuk is absolutely classic and hilarious. Literally
every time they are on screen I am either smiling, laughing or both. The way that Min-Hyuk marvels at
Do Bong-Soon’s strength is both adorable and hilarious to watch. I also love In Guk-Doo. Literally
anytime I see Ji Soo on screen anywhere I can’t help but scream “IN GUK-DOO!”. The way that he is
so clueless about Do Bong-Soon’s feelings is both irritating and funny. His personality is so “by the
book” that it makes sense. Trust me once you watch it you will understand why he is so clueless. Also
Kim Won-Hae's characters are absolutely hilarious.

Now the story line is not just a romantic comedy with amazing action shots. It is also a thriller. The
story with the kidnappings just makes this show even more interesting to watch. You expect it to be
“happy go lucky” with the characters personalities but you will also be very surprised at how serious
they can all be. 

Definitely, definitely, definitely give this drama a watch. I promise that you will not regret it. I have
already seen it twice but making this post I want to watch it again.

By the end of it you will be able to say “Dobong-Do, Dobong-Gu’s Do Bong Soon”

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO: 

• Anyone who likes superheroes
• Anyone who likes a romantic comedy with a funny twist
• Anyone who wants to laugh
• Anyone who likes funny personalities 

FAVORITE SONG FROM OST: 

This is another OST that it is hard to choose a favorite song from. They way they use the OST in the
show makes you like every song. 

But I do have to choose one so it will be “You’re My Garden” by Jung Eun-Ji from APINK. Literally every time this
song comes on in the show I am either laughing or have hear-shaped eyes. The most memorable
scene that uses this song is when Do Bong-Soon is carry Min-Hyuk (you’ll know what I mean when
you see it). I also can’t help but scream “이렇게 Love U Love U Love U 사랑해” every time. :)

Honorable Mention: “I Fall In Love” by Vromance (ft. Obroject), “Because of You” by Park Hyung-Sik,
“Pit-A-Pat” by Chung Ha
