This review may contain spoilers
Starts engaging, muddles in the middle and freefalls in the end with no proper closure for viewers.
LIKED:
- Go Youn Jung really pulled off the characters Cha Mu Hee /Do Ra Mi so good. Kim Seon Ho needs no introduction on how good of an actor he is and the way he acts with his eyes is beautiful to watch.
- The chemistry between both of them was exactly how it should have been that is not too intense, raw and passionate but slow and warm with both breaking each other out of their cages.
- Fukushi Sota was fun to watch especially his character being charming at times while other times him being a funny melodrama queen.
- Not going for the generic love triangle trope. Normally you would expect SML to be someone who keeps crossing lines and act all possessive and how badly he wants the FL but the drama did nothing of that sorts and gave us a green flag of a guy who despite being bratty sometimes knows his limits and when to back off. A total gentleman who you would root for his success in life.
- WS and YD's relation arc although fast paced and appeared for quite less time but was still fun to watch.
- The locations were beautiful and matched the vibe of drama. The costumes and dresses too were beautiful to look at.
DISLIKED:
- After looking at the trailer I wasn't expecting something out of the box but the same old generic korean romance drama so my expectations weren't too high to say the best and I am glad I kept it that way. It always baffles me how majority of korean dramas screw things up when it comes to mental health.
- The drama starts fun in start but in the middle of it becomes somewhat dull with generic arcs being pulled that we have seen many times before . The same old leads having trouble confessing, same old breakup for stupid reasons, same old living in agony. Thank god they did well with the love triangle stuff and kept it light.
- The final part of the drama was just TERRIBLE. The way FL's past and family arc is dealt with is just terrible and gives no closure to us as viewers at all. All this could have been done over episodes instead of rushing and shoving everything in the last episode. The generic breakup before leaving because one lead needs to deal with some shit all by themselves and then getting back together in last 5 minutes is just tiresome to watch again and again.
- Out of nowhere adding the twists that FL's parents are alive in the last half an hour was plain stupid. It was unnecessary if they think doing that would have been a good way of giving closure if anything it only makes thing worse.
- It was clearly visible writers had no idea on how to keep a proper pace of things over entire course and conclusion of this drama.
WISHED:
- I would have loved had they gotten together by E8 and then taken time to figure out the FL's past trauma properly with her healing from it slowly over last 4 eps. No need to add all the parents being alive after all these years bullshit in the end but showing her journey towards healing properly from all the pain her family caused, her parents death and her coming to terms with it is what I wanted to see in the last episodes.
