Plot

Lee Gun (Jang Hyuk) is the successor to a large company run by his family. Kim Mi Young (Jang Na Ra) is an average-looking secretary in a law firm who earned the nickname “Post-It” for her inability to say no to her colleagues who dump work on her. When the two cross paths one night after having a little something added to their drinks (almost sinister plot gone wrong), they end up having a one-night stand. When Mi Young finds out afterwards that she is pregnant, what will become of them? And will Nam Se Ra (Wang Ji Won) and Daniel (Choi Jin Hyuk) just stand by and let Gun and Mi Young deal with the situation in their own way?

My Feelings

This was a re-watch for me but I still enjoyed every minute of it...well almost every minute. The love story was a predictable one but done so beautifully and the cast was perfect for their roles, I actually wanted to rewatch this because I had recently seen Na Ra in I remember you and it was such a letdown, I wanted to watch something to make me like her again. I loved the chemistry between the main leads and the second leads were not terrible either, although I have some beef with K dramas because I am yet to see a rich young woman as a nice character. I understand that Se Ra was put in a very sad position but she did not have to be as mean as she was! All the Chaebols end up being nice guys but the rich women, uh uh, that was the worst part of this drama for me and truly, it wasn't a major issue. Now, as funny and cute as this drama was, get ready to shed a few tears (I will not say why as that would be a MAJOR spoiler) but as sad as that part was, I understand that is was needed because without that, I don't think Min Young would have ever been sure whether or not Lee Gun truly loved her for her. I think towards the end, it was dragged out a little more than it needed to and Daniel was strung along more than was necessary. Whether Mi Young did it intentionally or not doesn't matter, she should have been a little more considerate of his feelings, I mean, he wasn't exactly hiding how he felt about her. Oh, and lest I forget, the "big reveal" was not a huge surprise and was nicely tied into the story.

Conclusion

All in all, I loved it, it's super cute and you should watch it!
