While Fated to Love You is basically the best K-romcom I have ever seen, Successful Story of a Bright Girl is just terrible in general -- the script, plot and the acting unfortunately. I have no idea why the drama get so high ratings (40%++) when it was aired in 2002 – I dislike the drama 10 years ago and still dislike it until today. So my advise to anyone who can’t get enough of the chemistry between the two of them to just rewatch FTLY gazillion of times instead of watching SSoaBG since you will be terribly disappointed.
