The groom enters but when it is Dan-Yi’s turn she is nowhere to be found. She has run away from her own wedding ceremony, Eun-Ho drives in the hope of finding her. He is less worried about her and more angry at her because he practiced really for his piano performance. Dan-Yi is hiding in his car and Eun-Ho gets a shock when he finds her.

Dan-Yi continues to live in Eun-Ho’s house without his knowledge. Next day, she applies for the job and Eun-Ho is surprised to see her application.

Thoughts

Another Noona-Dongsaeng romance after Encounter, this looks less Melodramatic than the Encounter. The first episode was all right had some laughs here and there but not much. I can’t really make my opinion about this one until I get to see a few more episodes. It looks promising but most K-Dramas start that way, the middle and end will decide the entertainment value and total quality of the drama for me.
