Refreshing that it is reverse Cinderella

Warning: Spoilers
Hwan Jung-min (as Gu Dong-baek) is a post office insurance salesman who terms himself "an average Joe". Kim Ah-joong (as Han Ji-soo) is a top South Korean celebrity who is in a relationship with her college love who is engaged to another woman for political reasons. They must hide their relationship to avoid tarnishing his father's political career. When nearly caught together by a tenacious reporter they turn to the nearest shield, Gu Dong-baek and ask him to switch places and pretend to be the one Ji-soo was with. When doubt is cast on Gu Dong-baek and Ji-soo's dating relationship they find they must take the next step - a sham marriage. Can two such different people thrown together by fate fall in love?
It was interesting because Ji-soo's engaged boyfriend played the lead in "Cunning Single Lady" and he was a very likable, nice character in that one. In this he is the jerk that is two timing and lets down and disappoints the lead lady character time and again. He played both roles well but I didn't like seeing him as more of a villain.

I don't see much review for this show but it's worth watching. Think Notting Hill longer version.
The show is entertaining, funny and has some great one liners and words of wisdom. I am on my second time around watching this show. Even though it took me a long time to find this show, I kept searching for it as it is a warm romantic comedy.
The story builds from one crazy scene to another that's gets the main character in more and more hot water as the show progresses. As well the music really blends into the scenes very well.
Why I like this show is because it still allows us (the audience) to think realize that there are still honest humble respectful people in the world.
It's very easy to relate to the main character as most of us are probably like him.
Spoiler Alert: The entire premise is truly unrealistic (down to earth guy meets famous actress) but it worth watching as it does get emotional at times.
The story is practical from the sense that rich guy meets girl (famous actress) father doesn't approve because of his career (he is running for office). So the son has to get involved with and arranged marriage.
Next enters a simple humble guy who tries to be a scapegoat for the two of them in public. As time goes by he falls for her and she falls for him, this would be the unrealistic part.
