Synopsis: Hotel heir, Gong Chan is sent by his grandfather to locate his missing cousin and ease the conscience of a dying man who disowned his only daughter years before. When the plucky, “fighting” Yoo Rin enters Gong Chan’s life through a series of fibs, he hires her to pretend she’s his cousin in the hopes his grandfather might die in peace. Through Yoo Rin’s cheerful attentions the grandfather makes a miraculous recovery, forcing Yoo Rin to keep up the pretense. When Gong Chan develops feelings for Yoo Rin, the need to find his real cousin becomes urgent.
Additional roadblocks to the budding romance arise in the forms of Jeong Woo – renown playboy and best friend to Gong Chan – who falls seriously in love with Yoo Rin, and tennis champion Seo Hyun – Gong Chan’s ex-girlfriend who left him two years prior to pursue her career.

The cousin, nooo!!! – but thankfully… oooh, thankfully, that did not happen. :P) In the end, I failed to find a counterpart. It’s so Korean that you can’t change the context without losing the essence of the drama.
Chemistry! Both play well rounded characters that are fun to watch together as well as in their separate roles. I love Yoo Rin’s zest for life and her silly pranks – they remind me so much of me. :) Gong Chan is a lot more chill than other lead drama men; he smiles more frequently and doesn’t give any aloof, brooding, or stuck-up vibes. He’s quite normal, actually – and charming as well.
The subplots, or side romances as it were, between Gong Chan’s aunt (Choi Ran who also played an aunt -albeit a very different one – in
My Girl (2006) Review By Stars13
) and the artist she fancies, as well as Yoo Rin’s cousin who likes Gong Chan’s secretary, are both adorable distractions from our main couple. Jeong Woo’s unrequited love was only made sadder by the fact that he became such a great guy. There were a couple times I wanted to kick him, but not as much as I wanted to hug him.
The main reason for this was the lead Yoo Rin. Her imagination is stellar, and her spunky personality makes the drama as special as it is. One of my favorite scenes includes her and Gong Chan on their way to check up on a man she’s convinced is going to blow up the hotel. She imagines them as different characters from various action films. It’s great fun! :D
Note my bolded text in the previous subject. Up until those last few episodes I wouldn’t have given more than one bubble in this area, and that bubble would be dedicated solely to Jeong Woo for making me sigh over his troubles. There were a few parts my eyes felt a little watery over him, too. But this is easily the funniest drama I’ve seen yet, with the least amount of angst to deal with…
Exploring Korean Drama: My Girl
. I can honestly say I cried through nearly the entirety of the last episode. They save the tears for the end, but boy do they make up for lost time in those final two hours. At one point I had to pause because I was sobbing so hard I couldn’t see to read the subtitles.
The most upsetting part was that I couldn’t pick a person to be angry at. They all had (in my opinion) good reasons for the way they were behaving. Except for Yoo Rin. I mean, I get it… but still. I must say I was immensely proud of Gong Chan’s persistence.
Not my favorite. The lyrics seem a bit confused, like they can’t decide between a party beat and a sad song about unfulfilled love. Plus, I first heard it during a Seo Hyun scene, soooo…

Review: Run On
Every Korean drama has a ‘dramatic and sad things are happening now’ song, and this is the one for My Girl. I love its operatic style. It really does make everything more dramatic!
As a warning for first time viewers, do not choose Episode 6 as a stopping point. I gave myself a time limit up to that episode and had to break the rules and watch the next one after. And the next. Dramabeans has failed me for once in not warning me of that one. :P
Also, there’s no way you can watch the last three episodes separately. Make time for a three hour sit-down when you get up to that point, because it gets pretty intense.
Good Job Ep 1 And 2 Review: Jung Il Woo Hires Girls' Generation's Yuri As His Assistant For Future Missions
Still fresh in my mind, my first sight of Gong Chan left much to be desired. Those first thoughts: “Aw, why isn’t he hot like the others?” “He is… tolerable, I suppose…” “How will I endure the slow episodes if he’s the main feature?” …I take it all back!! True, at first sight he’s not a total knockout, but oh. my. Asians. Within the first few seconds of his cheeky smirks, I was sold. He is drop-dead charmingness wrapped up in smart business attire. In a similar way to Jin Heon, his expressions make him incredibly good looking.
Also, Jeong Woo is beautiful. I mean, almost too pretty to be a man. This is jested at when Yoo Rin pulls a stunt in the sauna, making everyone there think he is a woman. Hilarity ensues. :P But really, he’s too pretty. Way too pretty. It’s unfair.
The ending is lovely, with smiles all around, and everything as it should be. However, with the tear fest it put me through I had hoped for a

Review: My Girl (2020)
[Ep1]Shen YiandMeng Huiare strangers who met on the bus. Shen Yi asks Meng Hui if she can pay his bus fare because he forgot his pass. She kindly does and even gets out of her seat to pay for his fare. He's busy on his phone talking about his billion dollar business. Everyone on the bus snicker at his phone conversation especially when he makes a fuss at her for paying with coins. There's a twenty cent difference paying with coins vs. a pass. When he pays her back he makes sure he only pays her $1.80 RMB vs. the $2.00 RMB she paid. Meng Hui is flabbergasted that she met someone so rude.
Shen Yi has one principle: to not spend anymore than he has to. He's a stringent and frugal CEO. He's notorious for being cheap in his company. His business has one goal. Contrarily, it's not to make money. He wants to create a foundation that can cover scars and it doesn't matter how much money it'll cost.
Meng Hui is a makeup artist. She has PTSD from a facial injury she suffered when she was a child. Whenever she has a lapse her entire personality changes. From the sweet kind girl that she is, she transforms into a haughty, confident, and sexy young lady. In order words, her PTSD's symptom is a multiple personality disorder. In her alter ego, she applied for a job interview as a makeup artist.

Meng Hui feels guilty because it's partially her fault that the employee knocked over the table. Meng Hui finds Shen Yi at a restaurant to take the blame. He's curious how she knew he was at this particular restaurant. She tells him because this is the cheapest one around this area, ha. Her sincerity reaches to him and he recedes his penalty on his employee.
