FANTASTIC COUPLE

SYNOPSIS: Chul-soo has been living a low profile life, until he met Anna, a snob and high maintenance businesswoman. Even Anna's husband, Billy, can't tame her. Sometimes, Billy feels that he has no importance to their married life. He just obeys what Anna tells him. So when Billy found out that Anna fell off board their yacht and authorities can't find her body, he felt freedom for the first time. Little did he know that Anna had amnesia and ended up meeting Chul-soo again.

Chul-soo took advantage of the situation and pretended to be Anna's husband to make her pay for all the unreasonable things she has done. Doing so, not only did he make her feel the kind of life he is living, but also let her in to his heart.

REVIEWS: It took me more than 2 years to finally do a page for it. I always get stuck and ran out of ideas. Is it because I didn't like the story and I didn't have the energy to put up a review? Or is it the unimpressive performance of few of the actors? Even the chemistry between Ji-ho and Ye-seul's characters is not magical enough to make me feel the romance. There were cute scenes, especially the fights, but that's about it.

I expected so much since it has earned a lot of good comments and awards… and it's Oh Ji-hoo! But it was a so-so series for me. Nothing's new. It seems like tidbits of all the stories I've seen before. No twist. Very predictable. It's by the book. Amnesia is really a cliché.
