A beautiful slow-burn romance done right
Finished. It's been a long time since a series made me feel like this. I went through every emotion, watching it felt like an exciting roller coaster.Both of them were INCREDIBLE. Their chemistry was so realistic that i got completely hooked, watching one episode after another. This drama felt like a kiss to my soul.
The Initial D reference was exquisite. I actually screamed when AE86 appeared.
P.d.: Zhao was so gorgeous. I need to rewatch the scenes where He was a mechanic đ

La empecĂ© a mirar por Cha Eun Woo, fue muy raro para mi verlo tan serio cuando anteriormente habĂa visto Goo Hae Ryung, pero por lo que investiguĂ© su personaje se tiene que caracterizar con esa personalidad.Me hubiera gustado ver un poco mĂĄs de evoluciĂłn con el personaje de Mi Rae, a veces era tan indecisa que me daban ganas de cachetearla, por lo que se me hizo un poco pesado continuar con la historia. Bonito final. Drama ligero, como para verlo si no sabĂ©s que ver, o si venĂs de otros muy intensos.

Strong '90s Visuals, Weak Plot
I recently finished it. The drama was good and just that. I gave it a 7.5 at most, mainly because the plot lacked depth. Some of episodes felt like a filler, you could have skipped a few episodes or fast-forwarded through some scenes and it wouldn't have made any difference. The serie was saved by its 90's visuals, the performances of most of the cast (except the FL), and some genuinely funny moments.One moment that felt random and isolated to me was when Ma-Jin made misogynistic comments toward Mi-Seon and Tae-Poong did nothing about it. It felt out of character for him. Why would he let Ma-Jin cross the line with her over and over again?
About ML and FL relationship:
I didn't feel any chemistry between the ML and the FL. Junho was incredible, his role reminded me a bit of PSJ in Itaewon Class. It was enjoyable to watch him go through all the situations and problems. However, Kim Minha was COMPLETELY annoying to me. She had the same facial expression for happiness, sadness, surprise, shyness so I couldnât connect with her character or feel any empathy. It felt the same way when I watched her in 'Pachinko'. I don't dislike her, but maybe she's better suited for other type of roles.
16 episodes were bit too long, it should have been shorter.
P.d.: Iâm from Argentina, so Iâm very familiar with how terrible IMF involvement can be for a country and its society. The drama portrayed this really well, you can truly feel how hard life becomes for working-class people under such an economic crisis.

Si sos de la Ă©poca 90's 00's este drama por algĂșn lado te pega. La historia no es original pero no quita que haya estado buena. Los capĂtulos cortos hicieron que la historia sea mĂĄs fluida y amigable con el tiempo. Que bello rememorar esas Ă©pocas de las cartitas de amor, la juventud, el colegio, nuestros amigos, dĂłnde te juntabas hablar con ellos, sin distracciones, sin redes sociales de por medio. Pros:
- Realidad en la historia, no todo es tan blanco y negro como en otras clåsicas del género.
- Perfecta para esta cuarentena. Es una serie llevadera.
- La calidez y ternura de la historia y los personajes.
- Destacable el uso de proverbios relacionados al capĂtulo. Dejan una agradable enseñanza.
Contras:
- Cuestionable la actuaciĂłn de la protagonista.
