My Thoughts:

One of the main reasons I watched this was because of Park Shin Hye (Choi In Ha) I've seen loads of her dramas before and most of the time it's pretty darn good! anyway her character here was a daughter of what people view as an obnoxious reporter  (her mom) she idolized/worship her and would like to be her when she grows up but the thing is people say she can't due to her pinocchio syndrome and no her nose doesn't grow long whenever she lies haha she would hiccup and won't stop hiccuping til she spoke the truth so you can see she's somewhat in a pinch in her chosen profession.She also did a lot of headstands here whenever she's thinking seriously! so blood would flow thru her head haha *don't try that at home kids* also loads of cute moments like: (photo credits from the internet huzzah!)

I think these scenes are pretty much given in any korean drama

Now about Lee Jong Suk (Choi Dal Po) his family was a victim here he saw and experienced how cruel the world is as a kid what happened to his family is sometimes sad to say also happens in reality how reporters,old money people manipulate things to divert the medias attention for their own gain. What I like/love about this drama though was because of that it depicted that sad reality really well and we could all learn a lot from it airing the dirty laundry as they say in the industry.So here he is the young and grown up version.

so funny and tacky! I like the awkward moments of this video shoot

Makeover time! not too shabby

Actually my favorite character from this tv series is Min Sung Wook (Jang Hyun-Gyu) he's so funny without even trying!

 she's second haha surprisingly so although she's so annoying at first

Lee Yoo-Bi (Yoon Yoo-Rae)

it's so funny whenever people are like HEY YOORAE! ARE YOU CRYING?! like srsly?every freakin time it never fails to make me laugh and wonder wtf? it's like their punchline

Loads of plot twist also happen because of this guy Kim Young Kwang (Seo Bum Jo) for a chaebol(rich guy) he ain't so bad! and it's so refreshing whenever he's like amaze in simple things  that he's experiencing for the for time haha

Anyway, how their path crossed and how they brought upon change to the world was pretty epic! I won't say much I'd like you to discover it for yourself! watch this series! I really hope that's how the reporters/medias are in the real world!

Final verdict 5 out of 5 stars! oh yeah! I never thought it would be this good it's worth the rave and hype,it's very refreshing,modern and  the ending was cute too I tell ya so give it a shot whenever you got free time and dunno what else to watch it definitely gave me an inside look what a reporters life is like whether it's real or not.
