I somehow managed to finish the drama even though I thought about dropping it a few times.

Story

There was no story. Nothing happening. But honestly I don't know what story can be made starting from the premise of him owning a store and her working there. I feel like the same thing were happening over and over again. Always more bullies appearing and the FL having to deal with them (we got it, she knows how to fight). The relationship between SFL and ML was way to dragged...the story was focused more on them than the story between FL and ML. I found it strange how after a 2 years relationship the ML was so chill about their break-up...I mean everything moved on so fast as if nothing happened, he suddenly didn't care at all about the SFL. I get it that the relationship between ML and FL was slowly developing, that's ok , but I am kind of disappointed with the ending. Ok...the was no proper kissing (probably because of the age difference between the actors...it may have been awkward), anyway...it would have been nicer if they "officially started" their relationship a little sooner, not in the last minute of the drama. There were some side stories , like the one with the dad and his first love Jang Mi...what was its role?Overall it was bearable, even though the plot was not the best, it had some funny things and silly moment, some times a bit cliché but it's a kdrama, clichés are normal. JCW may or may not be a reason I haven't actually dropped this drama.

Characters

From the beginning I did't like the FL character. I don't know why she had to be clingy and why was she hitting on the ML knowing that he has a girlfriend (I really think that the SFL and ML relationship started to worsen because of her...I know they already had their problems but still... I feel like the FL got in between them). There wasn't any character development...every single person was the same at the end as in the beginning, why? And there were to many characters with no role, without whom the drama could have been the same (like FL' sister who was only causing trouble, Puppy, JSJ, the dad's friends...). I feel like there were so many characters just so that the writer could drag a little the story and create more action around the interactions between the leads and the supporting characters. I almost forgot about ML's friend...I don't get his character, something feels disturbing about him, why did the writer choose him to be like this?

Actors/Cast

I can say that the casting was well made. The actors were good and some of them well known. The acting was on point, I can't complain about that. What I didn't like was the characters, but the actors did a great job portraying them.

Overall this isn't a drama I could rewatch...sorry for those who actually liked it. It becomes boring at some point and that's it. I suggest watching something else, except you are a big fan of JCW or KYJ, than you can give it a try, but don't have to high expectations. I also am a fan of JCW and I am sad to see what dramas he is choosing lately...I am waiting to see him in a great drama again.
