Confusing

My main problem with this drama is that it is nothing like the first episode has promised. The plot was mostly focused on Do Rami, which was disappointing, after setting a completely different tone in episode 1.

The ending was rushed. Why did they even decide to tell the viewers that the parents are alive in the last 20 minutes of the show? Mu-hee went to see her mother and we didn't even know anything about what did they talk about.
Also, it didn't make sense that the father didn't want to raise her after the incident, supposedly because she looked like her mother. The problem is, she didn't. She was a child. She looked like a child. He couldn't have known that she would grow up to look exactly like her mother.

Also, I have no idea why did the leads break up a few times. The ML was most of the time unnecessarily rude to the FL, especially in the beginning. And I get that we see a few scenes, where he showed that he cares, but Mu-hee didn't see that. I don't even know why she fell in love with him.
I can't even express how mad I was when he said with a smile that they can be toghether because they will break up anyway. Who would want anyone to start a relationship with those words? I would run, tbh...

Second couple was just okay, nothing special. We didn't really get to know them enough to root for them, but I don't hate them being together.

The visual aspect is the biggest asset of this drama. From breathtaking sceneries of mountains and lakes to a beautiful cast, everything was pretty. It makes me sad that the plot didn't came close to my expectations. I'm curious of what would have happened if the screenwriters stuck to the initial idea of a rom-com, instead of psychological drama with a bit of on-and-off romance...
