      Well worth watching--very good writing

      Wonderful show!First,I was delighted by how we are given these characters and they proceed to evolve in the following 17 episodes-none of them stay locked in,they change,as people should.Basically this big company is run by Mrs. Song(Grandma),her son Chairman Cha,her daughter Sook-hee Shin, and the two sons Ji-heon Cha(Ji Sung) and Mu-won Cha(Jaejoong-"Hero"). Ji-heon and Mu-won were first rivals in love with Na-yoon Seo,but now are candidates for Chairman Cha's position.Mu-won seems the perfect son,as Ji-heon has some problems.On a whim,Mu-won hires Eun-seol Noh(Choi Kang-hee)to be Ji-heon's personal secretary-she is the pretty,plucky,poor girl.So,Eun-seol begins to help Ji-heon,and a new triangle develops with the two young men and her-much to the stunned amazement of Na-yoon. There are many laugh-out-loud moments in this series,I found.An important tip is,at the end of episode 17-do NOT watch the previews of the next show-there's a huge spoiler image you don't need to see-( a big mistake on their part).DO watch this series-it's VERY good and worth your time.

      Funny, Smart, Fast-Paced Gem

      This show is one of the funniest K dramas i have ever seen. It has a strong, awesome female lead, an adorkable, sweet, swoony, flawed male lead, and two truly nice yet crafty second leads.

      The parents and grandparents really love their kids and even as they get up to K drama-shenanigans, none of them rise to the level of evil deeds.

      Some parts haven't aged well, as there is a lot of slapping and physical fights, but that is the only complaint i have, and really, the grandpa gets in trouble for his "violence"! So, consequences happen.

      This one is worth watching! You won't regret it, and you will laugh out loud often.
