::What I Say::

Most recommended!

Wait!  wait a minute! Let ask yourself, why do you like to watch KDrama? Almost everyone who called themselves a fan, shares the Only One obvious reason which is "Actors are super handsome, cute smile, tall and gorgeous hairstyles. Actresses are drop dead beautiful with flawless "egg white" skin without pigmentation! ha..ha..ha..ha plus tall and skinny...SO true right?? Yes, its true, most of my friends, every time there is a new drama the first question will be...the hero and heroin, are they cute? good looking? bla..bla..bla..and so on...And only be showing interest if the main leads are good looking. But then,  if you are watching KDrama only because of their good look, you cannot called yourself as 100% fan!  Why? because for a very simple reason, look of course important but talent is something more. Why did i say that....take a look at "Accidental Couple" I have recommended this to some friends but they refuse to watch it because .....the male lead is not attractive ( that is what they say)  BUT for me, the lead male is good looking only not as cute as most Korean Idol groups.  He is attractive in his own way, full of charisma i believe even in his real life and he is happily married.  And most important is his acting skill.  He did a very good job in this drama and i cannot imagine any other Korean actors who can successful played Goo Dong Baek's role as he is. 

The story is simple but very interesting.  Goo Dong Baek's character is so unique (i can't find any other characters like this in korean dramas so far...or is there any?). He is hardworking, honest never cheated anyone, reliable, understanding, humble and of course funny.  There is one word in Malay that best described him which is "lurus" hehehehe. He has gone about his daily routines with nothing special ever happening to him. His character is what distinguishes this drama from all the others but, that what makes him fun to watch.  I love the bond he have with his sister too.  About the character of the female role, Han Ji-soo, a Korea's top celebrity and her angelic smile holds people entranced. She became an actress in order to make money for her mother and brother,  Ji-Soo has been in secret relationship with Kang-Mo a son of a political since her college days she is of course beautiful, charming, kind-hearted and quite considerate. She is a friendly star.  I love how she play her role to help Goo Dong Baek with his co-worker and supervisor.  Not like those normal celebrity role mostly is very rude, cold, mean. Her relationship with his younger brother is also adorable. And every other character is funny on their own as well.

I've watched many best-rated KDramas and  this is one of the best. Story wise, acting wise, script wise, romance wise.   No character die either by cancer or other sickness or accident, no hatred mother in law, no arranged force married by parents...( those are so common) but a group of character developed on their own forming a very happy ending story. By the end of the story, you will have no doubt that a top actress as like Han Ji Soo can and will definitely fall for a simple postman like Go Dong BaekThe story that developed warm feeling and you finally agree that life is not a fairy tale.  


Cast 
Hwang Jung Min as Goo Dong Baek- He is good looking... i dont understand why some people really critic his look. He acts in many other movies, dramas and theater.  His recent award was at Fantasia Festival 2011 - Best Actor  for his work in The Unjust.  He also got Best Actor Award for drama You're My Sunshine. In fact, he got many more awards for his talent despise his look as many said.
Kim Ah Joong as Han Ji Soo  is a well-known Korean actress/model/singer who rose to stardom from her roles in numerous films and commercials. In 2007 she won Best Actress for Grand Bell Award for her work in "200 Pounds Beauty" and many other awards as well.
Joo Sang Wook as Kim Kang Mo (Ji Soo's secret love) is most notable for his lead role in Chun Ja's Happy Events as Lee Joo Hyuk, a man who loved a single mother despite his mother's objections to their relationship- i love him in Paradise Ranch though he still play second male lead in there... i heard his Drama Thorn Bird is good is well.

Extended Cast 
Lee Chung Ah as Goo Min Ji (Dong Baek's younger sister)- i love her in Flower Boys Ramyun Shop acting together with handsome Jung Il Woo.  She is funny in that drama as well.
Baek Sung Hyun as Han Sang Chul (Ji Soo's younger brother) - he plays in many TV Show and movie and commercial.  His features are considered cute as per most people who love KDramas.
The casts are all superb! The story is heartwarming! The characters are unique and the Ending is Happiness!!
