I didn’t forget about you for a single moment. So tell me how you felt. If you don’t tell me, there is no way of knowing. – Cha Jin-wook

K-drama Feels:

• It is a feel good and typical cliché kind of drama. No need to deeply analyze the characters and plot.
• There are enough cute moments and a decent enough story to keep it entertaining, but there isn’t really much substance.
• Even though this drama is shorter than most, I still think it was too long. The flashback abuse in this drama is pretty epic.
• I loved the acting of Sung Hoon. His acting is super funny and makes this drama watchable. He is a total eye-candy.
• It might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it is quite fun and enjoyable.
• My Secret Romance is good for watching when you don’t want to think too deeply.

My Rating – 7.5/10 (It has a simple and predictable story but quite refreshing.)
