I love this drama - cannot wait every weekend to watch it. I love all the characters and the storyline.

Bae Du Na and Seo Ji-Suk make a fantastic couple. The sparks just fly between these two. With the exception of Seo Ji-Suk's mother, other characters just get on my nerves. The stalker brother is annoying and acts like he's miserable in his role.

Addicted to this drama. The music is fantastic. Just hope they don't cut the series short. That would be a major letdown.

I got a love/hate relationship with this series. The cinderella element is appealing and I find 3 out of the 4 main characters always interesting (Bae Du-Na, Lee Cheon-Hee, Seo Ji-Seok) with the always miserable/robotic "rich girl" Jung Yoon-Seo monotonous to the extreme. The main villain rich son Lee Ji-Seok is way too over the top for me. Also the way series always harps on the "watch person mix with poor folks" works initially but that angle gets harped on too much. You can watch Seo Ji-Seok sell "kimbop" on the streets or eat "chachangmyun" so many times before its not a big deal. Also I find it nearly impossible to believe rich girl Jung Yoon-Seo would work in grannies food stall - maybe I'm a cynic but no way that happens in real life. But the positive side is the blooming romance between between Bae-Du-Na and Seo Ji-Seok. That works. Also Seo Ji-Seok's mother who works in the nightclub is an interesting character. I'm about halfway through the series and enjoy most of it but with caveats.

The storyline sounds very interesting and I think Jisuk is fit in with his character. He is so handsome and cool. I can't wait to see the drama.

Watched the first two episodes of "Gloria" and I think I am going to love this drama as much as "Brilliant Legacy". Bae Du-Na literally and figuratively kicks ass in the series and the supporting cast so far all have their own appeal. Can't wait for next week! Highly recommend anyone interested in the series to check it out!
