what’s it about
A feisty, loud-mouthed girl lands a job at an amusement park dressing up as cute (or creepy) over-sized animals (depending on your views regarding such things) and simultaneously lands the affections of the local seal trainer and the amusment park owner’s son. Not jealous at all? Well, let me put it another way: lands the affections of Kim RaeWon and Kim JaeWon. There you go. You’re not the only one jealous, though, cuz she’s got a vixen disguised as her best friend.

wildcard factor
A skinny 10 episoder with a zippy plot…some might say a thin plot, I say just enough of one to make this one an amusing diversion.
after the first episode
I liked Jang Nara in this, she was plucky and likable, and I could see why all the boys at the kiddie park thought she was rad. I wasn’t completely sold on Kim JaeWon as the rich-but-heart-of-gold heir to the fun park fortune, but that might be because he’ll always be Daffy #2 in my eyes (there are five Daffys in the KDrama world for me, it’s a long story and not necessarily a bad thing). I kept wondering if he was supposed to be guy #1 or guy #2. Who was Jang Nara going to pick? The outcome was vague enough to keep things interesting.
