Goodbyes that lead to another goodbye!
When I picked this drama up, I was in the mood for experimenting something new and something soothing. And to my surprise, the drama did offer a fresh set of eyes to my weary mind momentarily. The beginning was really interesting, but perhaps, the most interesting part of the whole drama.My takeaway from the drama:
As the story unfolds, we get to see how strangers become part of your story and then your life. You see, sometimes we get stuck inside our head, inside our space and we are unable to find a way out. In those moments of entrapment, perhaps, our only way out is by letting someone in. Because clarity sometimes come from a new perspective, new people, and new place.
Story points:
All in all, the main plot felt overused. It dragged the main story longer than it should have. That's why, I grew fonder of the side-stories. Two in particular I loved the most - the writer and the publisher's story and the guesthouse owner's story! They definitely outgrew the main story and you will find yourself stuck by the drama for them, at the very least. Also, the cultural vibe is really strong with this drama. It offers a non-traditional Korean outlook along with the Japanese and State (USA) backdrops since the male and female lead have a work-history there. Lastly, the music score is very impressive. It binds you to the emotions in the scenes.
I probably won't recommend this drama in our time since we have one to many of this sort with higher overall score. But none the less, this is a solid 7.
Cheers! And if you loved this drama then go watch "When the weather is fine". You will love it even more.

Slow, a tad frustrating but realish and surrounded by sweetness
Another hard to rate drama, entertainment wise it was not very entertaining, the pace is slow not the stories pace but the way they talk, the way they film and the way it goes just takes forever....The story itself is a bit different and though we may see some well known cliches they most definitely do not follow the regular pattern. to be honest I would have liked the ending more if they ended it 5 minutes earlier than what they did but that is just a matter of preferences. I did like how they talk about fate coincidences and show different sides to holding on to something. When s it an obsession, when is it a habit and when is passion, dreams, love... yes the drama shows the whole pallet and a whole lot of different healthy and less healthy relationships. So all in all worth watching but just not that entertaining .

Honestamente eu me forcei a assistir este drama até o final, ultimamente tenho abandonado muitos dramas nada particularmente tem conseguido me prender e este foi um destes. A história é arrastada, difícil de acompanhar e os personagens não são vibrantes ou cativantes. Eu não tenho problema com um desenvolvimento lento o que não gosto é que isto seja combinado com uma história sem graça e personagens desinteressantes. Se você gosta de um ritmo lento mas interessante recomendo When a Snail Falls in Love.
