I'm here because I can find me no other place to write...

so, allow me..

I finished Me too, flower within 2+ days and I must say it was an awesome ride...

We see our heroine in a police officer suit protesting outside the police department for not getting a promotion. Well, that shows how passionate she's about her job. And then, she was sent for counselling at a psychologist's clinic. She then almost got run over by a man who was just turning round the corner on his white scooter. She tells him off for driving carelessly and later said that he dropped something on the ground. He searches for the object and later she states that it's his eyes that he has dropped. She turns around and continued down the street. He calls out for her and tells her that she has dropped something. She didn't fall for it but he kept insisting that she really did drop something. She goes back to get the dropped item and he says that she dropped her curiosity. He even gave her a hit on her forehead with his finger.

That was how the two met. And then, the story developed. They met again, almost always at each others' throats but not to the extent of killing each other. As time passes, he who wouldn't stop appearing around her, she feels herself falling for him (at least that's what I saw) and he too the same.

Although people keep complaining that Yoon Shi Yoon (who replaced Kim Jae Won) was too much of a baby face to play the role of a man reaching his thirties, I personally think that he fit the role of Seo Jae Hui almost perfectly. He was a manchild who seems to have no direction in life and wouldn't stop fooling around. Truth is, he's an undercover boss and a young millionaire. He isn't even one of those chaebol brats that only knew how to throw money around and do nothing else. Being a young millionaire, co-founder of a brand name called 'PerChe', he has come a long way in life. And there were times when he showed his darker side. Those fleeting moments that played every single emotion on his face that showed small parts of how he lived his life before he achieved success. And then, there were also times when he drowns himself in a pool of despair and sadness; even crying his heart out. He made Seo Jae Hui so much believable. Yes yes, the baby face. But I do think that his acting skills made up for that. From the information I got out of the drama, Seo Jae Hui is at the age of 27 and I know guys who are at that age yet still had the young look. What I think that was truly important is how Yoon Shi Yoon played the role well enough. When he was supposed to act childish, with the credit of his baby face, he pulls it off right. And those dark moments when he feels like killing someone or when he faces head on with the group of deadly journalists while trying to battle that social phobia; those were also the time when his face displays all of his emotions and it makes you fall for the act.

Lee Ji Ah plays the female main who is Officer Cha Bong Seon. Despite being a tough officer who handles most of the jobs given to her well, she is in fact a lonely girl who longs to be loved. I don't know but Lee Ji Ah makes me believe that Cha Bong Seon is actually tired of her life and that she's so sick of being lonely. At the time, she was also suffering from depression before her condition improves after seeing the psychologist, Dr. Pak. Whenever she reacts to her parents or when she cries her out, I just can't help but cry along with her. She made me feel every inch of her emotions especially with how she had to live when she was younger. Albeit not having a worse life than Jae Hui had in the past, her own history made my heart ache too. But of course, her journey through the despair she was suffocating with and eventually making out of it made me want to give her a standing ovation. She grew out of the temper and out of the suffer from the loneliness she had to put up with. It wasn't easy but she made baby steps through the tough journey and made out of it alive! She played her role well and became a sort of inspiration. (Seo Jae Hui did too!!)

Dr. Pak really came in handy with everyone's problems as well as how people should deal with life. True! He isn't there to give the answers but when he speaks something philosophical, it made me think about life again and again. He was a fun character indeed.

Villainess Pak Hwa Yong really made me hate her. Well, she did her job well. She was being over-possessive over Seo Jae Hui and even took extreme measures just to get the couple separated. She acted like a crazy witch who has multiple personality disorder! It was seriously overwhelming. So much for Officer Cha to root for her and the coolness aura she spreads everywhere she went. Who knew she could turn into some sort of over-possessive-witchy-psycho when it came to Jae Hui. It not only made her look like a witch, but also a cougar prowling for a kid O_O imagine the shock i received!

All in all, I think it was a good drama. Yet I find it weird that people don't seem to care. I think it's probably the overused theme - a rich guy falling for a normal girl who seems completely out of league and everything else sandwich-ed in between. But seriously, i think it was worth watching. A roller-coaster ride of emotions along with loads of cheesiness in between the couples. And if I were to choose any millionaire-normal girl love story, I'd pick this any day again! (it is that good. I even like it more than secret garden!)

P.S. they have quite a pleasing list of OST along with the drama. The ending was cheesy but everything ended well enough. 
Each of them finds their own happiness and life moves on from there.

One of the thing I loved most - the philosophy that Dr. Pak imparted : Sometimes, people fall in love not because they have found something in common but they deliberately find something in common because they have fallen in love.
