A Simple Story Carried by an Amazing ML
I had a good time watching this drama, even though it definitely wasn’t a favorite of mine. The story itself is pretty simple and there was a noticeable slump in the middle where I got a little bored, but thankfully things picked up again towards the end.
The biggest highlight for me was definitely Woo-joo. He was my favorite character from beginning to end: sweet, caring, respectful, and genuinely such a green flag. He honestly carried a lot of the romance for me, and if I ever rewatch this drama, it will probably be mostly for him.
I thought the main couple was cute and I enjoyed their dynamic, although once again, a lot of my attachment to them came from the ML. I struggled a bit more with the FL at first, not because she was a bad person — quite the opposite. Sometimes she was simply too kind at her own expense, and some of her decisions really frustrated me. I liked her much more towards the end when she finally started standing up for herself and setting boundaries, especially with her ex.
I also got attached to some of the supporting characters, particularly both mothers, with the FL’s mother being one of my favorites. The ML’s friend definitely annoyed me at times, especially when she crossed a line and revealed something that wasn’t hers to tell, but I appreciated that she acknowledged what she had done and was honest with him about it.
As for the ex… the audacity truly lasted from beginning to end. And somehow, his family managed to frustrate me even more than he did. Cheating is obviously awful, but the way they treated the FL and some of their behavior genuinely left me speechless. I also have to admit that seeing the ex eventually get cheated on by his new girlfriend felt like some very satisfying karma after everything he had done.
Overall, the story itself wasn’t particularly memorable and the pacing could have been better, but I still had a genuinely enjoyable time watching it thanks to the characters I grew attached to. It’s not a drama I would necessarily rewatch for the story, but I could absolutely see myself coming back for Woo-joo.
A solid 7/10, with Woo-joo being by far the best part of the drama for me.
