Not my cup of tea, but might be yours?
I wanted to like it so bad. So many aspects of each character were so enjoyable. I actually didn’t mind the cruel to caring ML, he was my favorite character for the most part. I didn’t have second lead syndrome although I did love 2nd male leads character development. FL’s quirky outburst & giving nature were enjoyable for me but she had NO BACKBONE. It’s like she barely made any active decisions for herself. Her bestie was insufferable to me…falling in love with you friends man? It’s a no from me dawg. With the amount of episodes it had, I feel like character development and plot fell to the wayside while so much air time went to useless side scenes? The actors/actresses were great but the plot just lacked in my opinion. I can see how this would be a great drama for some, it just didn’t deliver what I needed to keep me going.(bonus points for Siwons INSANE ab scene. paused and backed up a couple times because wowowow lol)

I really wanted to love this..
I was so bored by episode 10 & I can’t quite put my finger on why. The actors/actresses in this show are TOP TIER. Individually, I love each one, but for me, absolutely zero chemistry between the 3 of them. I was so sad I could not get into these 3 amazing leads together in one place:( maybe the story line wasn’t my cup of tea & the chemistry was off but besides that everything was executed with great quality! I loved the side characters, and I did laugh out loud a few times. The storyline between her and her sister was a great addition to the plot imo. Jealous of the people who loved this one, I wish I did!Was this review helpful to you?
Ending was bland, beginning was soo good!
I would’ve given this show 9 stars if the ending was written better. I binged the first 5-6 episodes ish & then had to force myself to get through each episode after that. The actors were great though! The initial storyline was so wonderful, but the ending just didn’t have a lot of spice & I think it could’ve been written differently with a similar outcome. I wish they would’ve wrapped up Bong-Su’s story differently. I wanted him to get to go to high school & be a kid! His character was adorable and mischievous lolWas this review helpful to you?

Dropped at ep. 5 but 10/10 stars??
Mr. Plankton was the oldest “plan to watch” on my list. It had been sitting at the bottom for a year, simply because I knew it would bring about tears on top of tears. I dropped this show 5 episodes in but I rated it a perfect score. I simply could not bring myself to witness these tragic soulmates lose each other. I know, I’m a big huge coward that’s going to miss out on all the beauty this show has to offer. I KNOW…but I cannot do it🤣. I officially called it quits upon the understanding they are selfish soulmates who deeply love each other but destiny will nerf the absolute hell out of them. They understand each others sadness in a way nobody else will. Unlucky lovers, destined for a sad sad sad ending. I hate that he dragged her with him to suffer the loss of himself, but I understood him. I hated that her absolute sweety baby fiancé ran around the country for her, but I understood her choices every step of the way, too. I just couldn’t bring myself to get dragged with them…that being said, cast was absolutely amazing, soundtrack absolutely amazing, plot absolutely amazing. I wish I wasn’t a scaredy cat. Call me a cliche but I would’ve loved a universe where he healed and she had a miraculous baby and everyone lived happily ever after. (Bonus points we can all agree with: Woo Do-Hwan IS A HOT HOT HOTTIE. The shirtless scenes??? Please sir just one more before your brains pops…don’t cancel me for that one guys I’m sorry)Was this review helpful to you?

Didn’t think I’d cry, I was wrong
I fell in love with this couple. They had so many sweet qualities. This show devastated me in the last 2 episodes. It wasnt just because the ending between these two is so depressing. It’s realistic, it had me mourning my own past breakups. It led you down the path many people take, two good people that just don’t fit. Two people who love each other deeply, sacrifice for each other BUT acknowledging that it’s not a good fit. So unbelievably difficult! The relatable feeling of the one person who could end the sadness is also the person causing the sadness. Soo many tears the last 2 episodes. I loved them both and I’m so happy Yumi had the courage to call it when she knew it didn’t feel right. Inspiring, honestly. The drama was really bumped to the next level with the cells. I thought it was corny at first but it had a huge impact on perspective. You get to see the reasoning for reactions that would usually leave you frustrated saying “why would they do that??!!” Another level of understanding that just tugged at your heart strings. I had to pick myself back up for season 2 and new romance lolWas this review helpful to you?
