It's the year 2019, and we still have this kind of dramas..Content of the drama is basic, girl is sick, needs transplant and boy is a match. Boy has a sick grandma who loves him so much, and wants to see him love and marry a girl. When girls asks the boy to help her, boy says okay, but first let get married and have a contracted marriage for 2 years.
Typical contracted marriage turns real marriage plot, seemed fun on Netflix so I said just try it, I mean, everyone needs a bit of cheesiness in life time to time.
But OH BOY
WILL CONTAIN SPOILER AND ANGER AND SHOCK READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
First of all, the reveal is just too big. And it's not a reveal like "boy has been lying because of a misunderstanding" or "a simple white lie started all this". The reveal is that THE BOY IS A FREAKING STALKER, A SOCIOPATH TO THE CORE. I just can't with the sugarcoating. He is wrong. Girl is literally a victim, and still keeps sticking around him. You know just because he waited in the rain outside of her apartment doesn't justify his actions.
Him being kind of a macho at the beginning of the show is not my style, yet acceptable as there are many kind of relationships and people who can get with it. But UGH I LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MORE CAN I SAY ABOUT IT THE SHOW IS JUST WRONG THE PREMISE OF IT IS WRONG EVERYTHING IS WRONG
I mean, girls friend seems clever and protective over her but when the big reveal happened, she didn't even react much? And supported their relationship? Just, why??
And last but least, as the show goes on, that big reveal didn't even matter? They had a conflict for what, like one or two episodes, than moved on to another subject like family issues or something.
Violence, both physically (second leads father beating the leading lady and the second lead, male lead literally kidnapping the female lead, holding her forcefully etc) and mentally (male lead tricking the girl to believe she had a terminal illness, than deceiving her into marriage and then making her fall in love with him etc) was like the main purposes of the show. And they didn't even resolve those issues. The guy can wait as much as he wants in the downpour and get a pneumonitis or anything but that wouldn't make it equal to the punishment he deserved.
THE SHOW IS JUST WRONG AND WISH IT DIDN'T EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Watching this drama as it was airing, everything was great. It was gripping and fun. I have some problems with the show anyway.Love triangle between two of male leads characters and the female lead was like one of the best things I've ever watched. Yet, since the moment Ri On came in to the story as a rival in love, I think that's where it started going a bit downhill. He was a lot better as twin brother. His addition to the story kinda ruined the rewatch value for me.
Then again, Jisung's performance alone is an enough reason to watch this show.

A drama that leads drag it till the end. If it was a different cast, no one would've remembered it as a nice drama, including me.Story is like a fan fiction written by a mature fangirl; Our leading lady is a successful head curator in an art gallery, has a quirky (actually pretty idiot) boss who owns the gallery, cute co-workers and a pretty basic life, at least that's what it seems from afar. Sung Duk Mi is actually an office worker by day, part time fan page admin by night. When our male lead Ryan Gold comes to the picture as the new head of gallery, and brings a project including Duk Mi's favorite idol with him, Duk mi's life gets even more interesting.
First few episodes were so much fun, I mean, our female lead is a fangirl, has some cheesy moments but at the end of the day, she's still an adult who can bring sense to her surrendings. This point of the show was fun but things went downhill pretty quickly after like, I don't know, 7th or 8th episode of the show.
Leads getting together brought us many racy moments which were enjoyable until somewhere but than, the show only became about those moments. Anything happening beside kisses were like a fairytale written by a mom who is bored by her child questioning tales and just started telling random good things. That was the worst part of the show, everything being tooooooo good.
Leads are good people, male leads mom who we all thought abandoned him turned out to be really good person, female leads mom who turned out to be the reason male lead has a trauma on holding hands turned out to be a good person, I mean, both her parents are like a charity, taking care of everyone's children and stuff, female leads best friends husband who actually has been planning a "scheme" since the beginning of the drama turned out to be a good person, second male lead -whom we thought was female leads twin at first- turned out to be a good person, second female lead turned out to be a good person, list has no end! Everyone is good! Not just good, everyone is angelic good. Even fairytales have evil queens, yet this drama has everything safe that it's boring.

I have many reasons to why I've dropped this drama, and most of them are related to the female lead, yet the biggest reason is: WHAT'S WITH THE CLOTHES???! If that's how fashion works, than lemme go around naked.
Hwang Jung Eum has been acting as the same character for a while as this drama was airing, and I've happened to be seen almost all of them. Her screams passed being annoying after a while, and became the reason I've turned this one off. It's sad considering I've found her extremely likeable in Can You Hear My Heart as a melodramatic character. She is a good actress yet this one was one of her worst performances.

It's a goofy piece of work, but made purely for purpose of laughter. As it kind of felt like male version of Age of Youth at first, but it didn't take too long to realize, lol heck no this one has nothing to do with slice of life elements. Everything is ridiculous and that's okay, just know what you should expect.
If you're not a person who likes taking things too seriously, this drama is for you.
*Not sure if this is a spoiler from now on, read at your own risk*
The reason I'm not giving it a 10/10 is because, yeah like I said, it's not a masterpiece. It's a great show to binge watch it but following this one weekly felt stuffing time to time, like, it kind of was hard to follow when you had to wait a week between episodes.
