Nuanced storyline, not everyone's cup of tea

Am I the only one here who came to praise this drama?! Maybe its because I never take the romance genre seriously but I loved this drama. And I knew Park Jinyoung is an amazing actor so no surprise there but Kim minju? This is the 1st drama I watched of her and maybe I was prejudiced cz most idol turned actors are never that good initially so I wasn't expecting much from her but damn did I love her acting! The rage I felt for her character 😭 I just loved to hate her! The senior cast in the drama were so good too! The acting (cast) and cinematography alone are 10/10 for me. Wish it had a better story as well so that it got more appreciation by the general audience but for sm1 like me who is not very serious about romance genre and acting is the most important part this was a great watch!

Ik the story is not very compelling for a romance genre but I really loved the story telling, not only about the main couple but but small glimpses of the lives of other characters like ML's brother, his grandparents, FL's stepmom and the 2nd FL and 2nd ML. None of them are shown in depth and mostly were surrounding the main ML/FL but still could discern their individual struggles. I see that many are complaining about the main characters actions a lot and Ik most people watch kdramas as an escape from reality but I found both their characters to be very human. Especially the ML who has struggled so much from such an early age. I think the drama is definitely worth the watch.
