When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I meet Eric, will I kiss him?
Here's what Mom said to me.
Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be will be
If it's Eric you're fated to meet,
Then, 키스 해라, 해라!
......That's why you see.....I can't be a songwriter. Kinda lame, I know. So, I'll write a review instead.
At first this drama was kinda slow to me. I was losing interest like 3rd episode onwards. But later, I became intrigued by Eric's performance. I know he's not a wonderful, dynamic actor - like many others. But there was something about his interpretation and performance a lonely guy in the midst of all the glamour and richness.
I felt his solitude whenever he sought solace in that small apartment of his. But at the same time, I know that being in that same building as Eun Joo gave him peace and filled his empty heart. Aw......
I told my friend earlier "Aiyo, this drama so boring leh...." but I have to retract that remark, Ja. This drama made me cry along with Eric, especially the later elevator scene.
The bubbles are kinda small. If you're interested in reading what I've written, click on the photo.

The Gist
Despite his reputation and "vocation" as a playboy, Kang Tae Joo's heart has never been touched by any woman until he met a nerdy, simple, naive, kind-hearted Han Eun Joo. They live in the same apartment, a few doors apart.
During one chance encounter in the apartment's elevator, Tae Joo sorta kissed her, sorta , kinda, trying to ive her the first kiss so that she won't "lose out"......sorta. But that first kiss was IT for her. She fell in love with him . Hopelessly, helplessly.
Tae Joo realising his mistake, tried to brush it off as nothing. But as they progressed to be friends and neighbours, Tae Joo slowly opened his heart up for her, albeit platonic only. But Eun Joo remained hurt that Tae Joo cold not accept her as a girlfriend.
Along came Jun Hyuk, a rich guy with a past. He's so suave, gentlemanly, too-good-to-be-true manager, who came along and wanted to mend Eun Joo's heart.
In the meantime, Tae Joo got a new project to be the "fake lover/fiance" of Jun Hyuk's employer's daughter. A rich girl who's used to getting what she wants. She needed him to stop her father from matchmaking her with slobs and useless bums who only eye for her inheritence.
Anyway, Tae Joo later realised that he was ACTUALLY in love with Eun Joo. DUH!!! But this and that happened (as in other korean dramas). And the star-crossed lovers had to undergo lots of heart-breaking situations, after situations. Too long to write here.
The ending? Ah...wonderful ending. Watch it!!!!
I give this drama 3.5 popcorns.
