Quick Synopsis:
Lee Gun, an heir to a major shampoo corporation, has a one night stand with Kim Mi Yeong. Mi Yeong is an office worker who has been labeled as the "post-it" girl of the workplace. They both hoped that they could put the event behind them until Mi Yeong discovers that she is pregnant. This forces Lee Geon into marriage and fulfilling the corporation's elders wishes for him to marry and have a successor to the company.


My Thoughts:
Story Line:
I am super excited that this was made into a Korean version. Although, I feel like no country will ever top the Taiwanese version, though. I do like that things deviated from it, but somethings are way too different for me to even put it remotely close to the same level as the original. Mi Yeong does seem like a good "post-it" girl and its great that she has at least one person on her side at work.

Cast:
I have seen Jang Hyuk in movies more than I have seen him in dramas. He is very good but very bad for this role. I sadly do not agree with him playing such a character. The reason is because the male lead is made to seem sort of psychotic. Jang Nara is phenomenal. I find her to be perfect for the role.

Music:
There are very rare cases where I do not like the music in Korean dramas. So there is no surprise that I love the music in the drama here too. Korean ballads are always being used for romance dramas that set the mood beautifully for the power couples.

Overall I would rate this drama with a 3/5.
