Exceeded my expectations
I really like it! I mostly watch cdramas now, but this was really enjoyable and it honestly exceeded my expectations.
Nam Ji Hyun's acting as always was superb. Her acting is always top notch! I honestly don't think that there are many other actors that could've pulled off some of her scenes as Kong Yeon Su without coming off as cringe. She honestly looked adorable in those tricky scenes! Overall she acted magnificently and looked really pretty!
Kim Jae Yeong looked STUNNING as Dokgo Dal,honestly he portrayed his character amazingly. I was swooning together with Kong Yeon Su. I have to admit though, I believe Dokgo Dal's player lifestyle would've put off many people in real life, inculding me, because if we are beig realistic a leopard can't change its spots. But I also understand that Kong Yeon Su didn't just choose him because she liked him, but because he could help her change her lifestyle. He represented the life she couldn't have and she wanted to take back her right to make her own choices, in her life.
Kang Tae Ju as Yun Ji O did really well, I felt a bit bad for him to be honest. I have to admit though that the character felt a bit too constructed to look perfect but that he wasn't exacty whom he showed to be. it felt like Yun Ji O wasn't expressing his real honest self when speaking with the fl's elders and even with the fl sometimes, but as if he was just answering the correct answers in an exam bc he knew which ansers were the correct ones and he wanted a good grade.
All of the cast did a fantastic job and I especially loved the fl's aunt!! She was the MVP!
The fl's family were WAY too strict and paternalistic, which was awful but i get that this was the premise of the story. I find it suffocating how they're imposing their strict way of life towards the younger generation, dictating their jobs and even spouses, when to marry etc. I also strongly believe that the aunt's life was not as fulfilling as it could've been because of how strict her parent were with her back then (when and whom to marry etc).At least I liked how the aunt was always someone whom the fl could count on and lean on for support no matter what.
All in all, this was a great drama as a casual watch, I really enjoyed it and would recommend it.
