I just finished episode 14 and wanted to share a quick comment about the drama so far. In the beginning, the ML was a bit hard to like. He was constantly annoying, always giving off this uncomfortable, almost frustrating energy. Honestly, he felt like someone who was meant to irritate us on purpose, lonely, grumpy, closed-off, and awkward enough to make us feel awkward too. But I think that was exactly the point of his character, especially considering the big shift that happens later.
Overall, the story is very well put together. I really like the characters, and the plot moves quickly with natural connections between events. The ML also has this very particular look, a serious stare with wide-open eyes, almost like he’s looking straight into your soul. But when he smiles or relaxes, he looks completely different. It really feels like part of his personality, not a random acting choice.
I just finished the drama, and my overall reaction is that the childhood part was truly the strongest element. The younger cast had great chemistry, and the story felt engaging and emotional during those episodes. But once the characters grew up, the tone changed and the adult versions didn’t match the charm or consistency of their younger selves, which made the second half much harder to enjoy. Still, a few performances stood out and kept me watching until the end.

They should remake this with Yoojung and Jingoo now. They're both better actors than the original leads anyway.…
I prefer the story and the actors when they were just children. I don't see any similarities between the young adult FL and the child version. When she was little she had gentle eyes, and now that she's an adult she has frightening eyes.
I'm still not quite sure how to feel about this drama... at the moment I'd give it a score of 6.5/10.

Up to episode 14, I find the drama really interesting. It’s not tiring, it doesn’t rely on too many clichés, there are funny moments, and it always leaves me wanting to watch the next episode. I don’t know if the ending will disappoint me, but so far I’m enjoying it a lot. At this point, I’d give it an 8.5/10.
Honestly, I ended up enjoying the secondary couple more than the main couple - not sure why, but their story just felt more touching and interesting.
Overall, the drama had potential, but some parts felt a bit slow. ML definitely made it worth watching.
