Quick Synopsis:
Based on the American novel, Overboard.
Cheol-su had a great sheer of bad luck after meeting Anna who is rich, rude, and controlling. Every encounter they had left Cheol-su penniless from a job. Things quickly turned around for him when he found Anna in the hospital suffering from a bad case of amnesia. This let Cheol-su gain the upper hand and seek revenge for all the money he had lost.

My Thoughts:
Story Line:
Most stories that are about someone having amnesia revolve around an act of kindness and love. In this case, it is an act of revenge that makes the story so intriguing to watch. For Cheol-su, who is a very kind man, to take such measures of revenge is unexpected yet exciting. I loved their little plot of getting Anna to do everything but of course being born with a silver spoon in her mouth means she doesn't know how to do much. Everything that happened in the story played out pretty well. I feel that Billy, Anna's wife, was a useless character put he helps build up the plot. His presence just puts a hinders into Cheol-su's plan when he decides that it is time to get Anna back.

Cast:
I like Oh Ji-ho. He is a good actor. They were spot on with choosing him to play the role of Cheol-su. He does look like a handyman type of guy. There was some chemistry that I could see between Oh Ji-ho and Han Ye-seul. However, I see them more as a temporary couple not as a married couple. The scenes they played with the kids though was pretty cute. Having them made me think that they would make a great family.

Music:
I had no real interest in the music played. They were nice songs but I didn't care for them. I didn't feel like they added much to the series. Maybe I am just really picky.

Overall I would rate this drama with a 2.5/5.
