Incredibly frustrating midway, but it all ends well
Overall, the drama is a pretty decent rom-com, but some things along the way made the ride a bit difficult. First, I think the show focused way too much on the Haneul-Jimin-Rosa nucleus when they aren't even the main couple. Their story just kept repeating itself after a certain point and this really took a toll on the pacing of the drama. They could've devoted the screen time not just to the main couple but to other side characters, such as Mokjin and Young, Minho and his sister, etc.
Now onto the charcaters, Young is really nice and down to earth, Mokjin is okay, even though being a psychology major doesn't stop him from believing all sorts fo pseudo-science and occultism. Moonjoong is just detestable and the fact that he pretends to be a nice guy initially just makes him even more of a scumbag. At least his ending is decent, unlike Rosa. She does all sorts of despicable things and yet she faces little to no consenquences adn there's also that half-assed redemption last minute. Yidam is a very desposable character, also he felt really meddling and was all up Jimin's personal space even though he just met her.
Minho is a cutiepie and deserves the world. I think Jaehyun did amazing for his first acting role, obviously he can improve in certain aspects, but I never felt his acting was overshadowed by the rest of the cast. On the other hand, what I felt about Jooah fluctuated a lot during the drama. Initially I liked her, her relationship with Minho felt very natural, but she was way too childish sometimes. I know it's her first love, but she is probably already in her twenties, she just came off as really naive. Besides, the whole plot regarding her deciding to be a sports MC just felt really stupid. It's ok to feel lost during college and not knowing wich career path to choose, but deciding your profeesion based on something a guy you've known for a week told you even though you didn't even like sports until like 2 days ago just feels really idiotic. She didn't even know anything about this field and what it entails, again making her seem more like a twelve year old.
Besides that, Jooah was really cruel to Minho when he confessed. If she wanted to reject him, she could've been nice about it, but instead she invalidated his feelings and acted like he had a psychotic episode or something like that. And then she just acted like he didn't exist, I mean shoudn't she be like that towards Moonjoong instead?
Jimin on the other hand is one of the most annoying characters in this. She was just a goody-two-shoes with a martyr complex and as the drama went on and the way she treated Haneul was terrible. Sis can't take accountability for things to save her own life. Haneul was indeed wrong to lie to her, but so was she. Instead of admiting she was also to blame, Jimin borderline gaslighted Ha Neul into thinking it was all his fault because he couldn't read her mind and just did what she asked him to. Sis you just dig your own grave by shoving your boyfriend onto Rosa and never stating you were uncomfrotable with it. Honestly Jimin can die alone I don't care.
Regarding the whole Dear.M revelation, I actually liked it. It was quite funny and made Dear.M seem like a criminal mastermind, but at least it was refreshing and unexpected, and also resonated with the core of the drama. I also wished the main couple got together sooner, but the ending was overall satisfying and the interaction between the characters (except Jimin-Rosa-Haneul) throughout made this worth watching and I'm just glad to have been able to finally seen this show.
