it’s been a long time since I watched such an emotional tear-jerking drama. this drama was really heart-touching. let’s break down the aspects one by one & how it could have improved too:

STORY: the story is very good. although no major modifications are needed in the story, I do think a few more elements should have been added to make it more entertaining. I loved the drama overall, but I would not deny and say that I didn’t force myself to get through a few episodes because of how boring it was getting. the starting was good, the ending was awesome, especially the last 3 episodes. I think the idea of them falling in love with each-other *gradually* wasn’t really well executed. it just happened suddenly, kind of. also, the genre also includes comedy, which was very little to zero. at first it did have funny stuff going on, which only lasted up until episode 5, I guess. overall the drama was good, though it should not be characterized as a rom-com because they really forgot to put the “com” here. the “rom” was satisfactory though. I personally liked the story.

ACTING: I have no words. shin hyesun has never not served and I never think twice before giving her a 10/10 for acting. kim myungsoo, despite being a kpop idol (as idols have a history of sucking at acting, exceptions excluded), acted so well. supporting actors were all good, no real complaints about acting.

SOUNDTRACK: the soundtrack was very good, some of the songs are on their way to become evergreen in my playlists.

OVERALL REVIEW: good, you should watch it if you’re into tearjerkers. and sacrificial love. and tongue kisses. personally I’m into all three of these so I liked the drama.
