"We have only one heart for one person. If you've given it to someone, you'll have none left for others.""Between the star and the sky and the rocks on the ground, rocks seem like the better one. Although the stars are pretty we can't reach them, the rocks on the ground seem dirty but we can turn them into precious stones."
-Jung Hyun Jin

Da-Hyun teaches Korean in middle school. One day, on the way home in the subway, she gives seat to a poor old man and helps him with his bags. She soon forgets about this but from that day on, all kinds of strange things start happening in her life. In the meantime, Jae-In is in a meeting at his office when he's interrupted by an urgent phone call. He had become estranged from his grandfather ever since he ran away from home. This also meant deletion of his name from his grandfather's will. But all of a sudden, he now gets a call that his name was written back on his grandfather's will again and what's more, he is also given the order of priority. He's even more surprised when he finds out that it is not the first right to inherit the fortune but the first right to date a certain girl.

First, it took me a while to write this review because this show left me with almost no impressions. When I have finished it, I wondered if I had wasted my time watching it…
Now to begin from somewhere, let us talk about Kim Da-Hyun (Kim Jung-Hwa), the female lead. She is no one extraordinary, she comes from a nice normal middleclass family and is a middle school teacher. She is cheerful and smart and is constantly losing her stuff, but above all of that, she is very kindhearted and this trait of her brought her a place in a CEO's will. Therefore, this show is teaching you something, and that is: “Help those around you, even strangers and elders, because you never know when you run into a rich old man who is looking for a wife for his grandchild. “
Lee Jae-In (Kang Dong-Won) the male lead, is a jerk, at the beginning of the drama, and a hot-tempered person, but with all of this, how can you not love him? I mean look at this smile:
The actor Gang Dong-Won, is very aglsfdsf# *fangirling*....he is one of the reasons why I've continued to watch the show:
The first episodes were kind of boring, just talk, talk and more talk, the plot moves along at a glacial snail pace with lots (and lots and lots) of sitting around in restaurants and drinking of orange juices (Seriously! so many orange juices....I hope that I'm not the only one that noticed and finds it funny how everyone seems to drink 3 glasses of orange juice everyday.)
In the end, I do not know if I liked it or hated it…
To sum up, 1% of Anything is a show to watch if you want something light and funny to watch while you relax after a long day. But, if you are looking for action, drama, originality or a complex story than watch something else, don’t waste your time because 1% of anything don’t worth not even 1% of your time…
Rating: 8/10
PS: I'm going to drink some orange juice now. :))

Whatever, he’s attitude kind of reminds me of Goo Joon-pyo from drama “Boys Over Flowers”, maybe because 1% of Anything is so cliché.
The storyline is not big deal, the title attracted me because it sounds intriguing at that time and I continued watching it because of the lovable characters and the main couple, which is super cute.
Watching Da-Hyun and Jae-In while they were arguing, was so funny, they complete each other ( seriously look how cute they are together ^.^):
