Light on the tropes, but alot of crying, Some romance. Good Character growth
I watched it & I bought the dvds (which is rare for me.) Awkward, unimpressive start that was heavy on the drama.
I was pleasantly surprised that the story had the characters showing depth, introspection & evolvement. There was just enough romance ( & a happy ending) & I was glad to see that the side characters didn't create extremely uncomfortable love triangles (or leave you conflicted about them not being chosen by the leads.) There also was not a load of K-drama tropes. Nor did they throw an endless pile of set backs to keep the story going. A few times I felt boredom setting in but the story mostly progressed at a good rate & I really liked the resolution they gave the characters. The soundtrack did not stand out. The acting was decent. The actor's chemistry was OK. You will want a few boxes of tissues nearby....when the guys cried it was more convincing than when the girls cried. (and there is alot of crying !)
the soundtrack really could have been better.
the ending was too abrupt.
