1% of anything (warning, a few spoilers...)
This k-drama is fantastically cliche. It has characters that are even caricatures of caricatures: there's the uber-bitch mom who's snobbishness clogs the room whenever she enters (of course, she has a tender heart it turns out, but this is only revealed near the end...). There's the hot-headed leading man who's secretly an innocent, loyal teddy bear. And then there are the girl's parents. They're perfect, as you'd expect, and even don't want their daughter to marry the hot-head because joining his rich family might be TOO stressful for her. Sigh, if only we all had problems like these...
In spite of all this, the story is so sugary sweet & that's what makes it's irresistible. The last ~5 episodes feature a string of happy endings that might even double for wedding attire commercials... The only illicit element is a pre-marital pregnancy involving a minor character, which turns out to be only a tiny problem since the father is all too ready to marry her since he wanted to anyway... Even the bleeding-heart brother who is leaving to cure the sick in Somalia finds a future love in the poor hairdresser (she promises to wait for him)... So, if you can keep your gag reflex in check and are up for a 0% chance of stress, I recommend this drama with no reservations... :)
