what’s it about
Choi JungWon plays an irresponsible and inept life insurance broker that finds herself saddled with five very young siblings after their parents unexpectedly die in a car accident. Forced to hang up her laziness in order to feed and house the kids, she wheedles her way into the home of three men as their housekeeper - one man is childish, another is a ‘nice guy’ and the eldest is an arrogant lawyer, a man she has harbored a not-so-secret crush on for five freakin’ years. You see, the latter two are not only colleagues at her company, but bigwigs there. There’s an adjacent storyline regarding the inheritance of the aforementioned insurance company and Choi JungWon and the leading men are likewise involved in that bit of plotting.

How irritating was Choi JungWon? Very.
after the first episode
The first episode was...not that great and, I won’t lie, at times our heroine’s antics were fidget-inducing. I was, however, curious enough to tune in for the next installment. I didn’t completely fall for any of the characters but by the second episode, I could vaguely see where this drama intended to go and I liked the direction the railroad tracks were pointing. There were even a few scenes that made tears well up in my eyes—what’s that all about!? I’m a hard-bitten city girl, I don’t cry over some sad sack story in a Korean drama! (Ok, I lied, I do, but not often) So, I reasoned, if this could tug at my heartstrings after only a couple of hours, it could prove to be a really rewarding drama in the long haul. Even though patience is not my strongest suit, I decided to stick like glue and see what shenanigans flourished and hoped it became the first awesome drama of 2010.
