Watching this after a lot of other kdrama bingeing, this is just okay for me. Since I saw this 9 years later, and comparing it to other kseries released recently, it was a lot of cringe from me.

Acting was quite good, young and adult characters. Music was annoying though, "love is the moment" was too much and repetitive.

Story was good, Lee Min Ho's character and story development was smooth though I feel the LA chance meeting was too short to develop any deeper feelings for a guy helping out a stranger for two days. Park Shin Hye's acting was actually quite good, it was natural and no overacting, however I felt her script or character development was not written well as she always acted safe with the male lead in LA and then clueless/annoyed after reuniting in Korea. I mean, I felt Lee Min Ho's acting showed his affection to the female lead from the beginning but Park Shin Hye was nothing but frowning/unwelcoming then suddenly she's all emo over him in episode 9-10. I was like, I cant figure her out. I felt her acting centered too much on her family drama it failed to balance the romance part of her story which was the main thing. I guess script lacked parts of expressing her affections to the male lead--or maybe because she does not have any female friends where she can openly talk about her secrets or love.

The rest of the episodes are cliche. It was predictable but it was not bad.
