I haven't watched many dramas in melodrama genre so I didn't have any expectations when I started watching it thus will not compare it to any other. I have really enjoyed watching it and it easily caught me and before I knew it last few episodes came around. I really recommend watching it, but i just couldn't give it perfect score cause few things were bothering me throughout the drama. The beginning was a bit odd for me, it kinda seemed forced so, to be honest, I was in dilemma if i should continue watching it. It was hard to sympathize with some characters, especially MinHyuk, and that all bothered me. But I am so glad that I have continued cause after first two or three episodes drama really starts a new pace and becomes more than interesting, you could say addicting. That pace changes as the drama goes so sometimes some parts feel a bit slow and some a bit fast, but more often it's just right. Every person has a reason for acting the way they are, even tho it's sometimes stupid or pitiful it's the best they know. You should have in mind that characters don't know everything that we know as watchers and that their judgement is limited to that. I like that drama is written that way, it engaged me into the story even more. Actors did an amazing job in portraying their characters and their development. What I personally really liked about this drama is it's comedy relief. Because of the heavy story it was much needed and I would say it was very well done. If some of those characters were a bit more developed it would have been even better. Music was also fantastic, very immersive, especially symphonic OSTs. It was well placed and it filled up the silence perfectly. There is this other thing that i minded and that affected the overall score i gave it quite a bit, and if you are going to watch it, you may notice, or have noticed like I did if you have already completed it. The editing of some scenes feels a bit off. Some scenes are prolonged by adding shots one on top of the other from other angles and that made them feel awkward, or just very wrong at times, even tho i don't think that's the feeling that they were going for. That's the main reason why i couldn't give this drama 9 or more. With all that being said I would just like to add once again that I've really enjoyed watching it, it has a good plot and I recommend it.
