Hong Yeo Joo (Park Gyu
Ri) is an online writer and has a big number of fans. When being approached to
get published by a publishing company, she immediately agrees, but is
surprisingly accused of plagiarizing several books. She gets the offer to write
a new book, though to make sure it isn’t someone else’s work. Unable to starts
a story she goes on the street to get inspiration; that is where she encounters
Alex (Jun Ji Hoo), a flower boy who saves a woman in distress. While following
him she finds out that he works at a nail shop, which excites her since she is
sure no one has ever had a lead that is a manicurist. Entering the shop she
meets two other flower boys: Jin (Cheon Doong) and Kay (Song Jae Rim). That is
where she sees the sign of help wanted - but male.
So she decides to
dress up as a boy to find the last few details in order to make a story based
in Alex…
Hmm…? Okay, so if you
are going to make a story about a girl dressing up as a guy, first off: why do
they all suddenly have to fall for her? Second, what’s with the weird storyline?
Third, GUMIHO? GHOSTS? SHAMANS? WHAAAT? I think I was more confused than ever
while watching this, not because it is complicated, but because of the ridiculous
screen play and plot. I mean it is as if a child has taken 5 different plots
and added it in one short drama. Adding a girl in an all pretty boy shop +
having the main and supporting actor fall for her + adding story of a GUMIHO (yeah
you heard me) + adding “crime solving nail artists”… And that is just the
beginning. I cannot say I was bored, and I did actually watch it till the end,
so its not all that bad.
