Doesn’t stick the landing, but otherwise engaging
This would've gotten a much higher rating for me if the ending had met the rest of the show. To be honest, they had me up until about halfway through the last episode. For some reason, they felt the need to throw in the cliché we argue a ton, but we're in love back-and-forth thing . Maybe it's just me, but I really hate the bickering Love after they seem to have resolved things. I don't mind some tension and bickering before they get together, but when it's even worse after they get together, that's a no for me.
Another reason this got a lower score, it's because the casting seemed a little odd to me. The ML and FL were OK, but neither gave me ML/FL vibes. This is also true about the second ML and second FL. I might be being a bit harsh on the second ML, he did a pretty good job. However, the second FL just didn't do a great job acting from my perspective. her character was kind of obnoxious and I don't see the second ML ever falling for her. To be honest, the couple I was most interested in was the doctor and the FL's cousin both of those actors had more charisma than any of the main roles. I wanted to learn more about their story and see more of the development of their relationship. Also, it felt like the cousin was dying or something, but I think they were just implying that she was starting medical school so she needed to do some other things on her bucket list before that day. It was very confusing.
Based on the above, you would think I hated this drama. However, that is not the case. I could forgive all of the issues that I have listed if they had just stuck the landing in episode 12. I did think that the ML and FL had great chemistry. I loved how sexy and fun most of the show was. The dialogue was good. I never wanted to skip to the end, which is what happens to me a lot of the time about midway through because I get bored. I never got bored on this one which usually earns a higher score. so this really just comes down to the ending for me. However, it wasn't a completely ruined ending, it just wasn't my preference. So it's still getting a very good score from me. and I would recommend this, I just wish I could recommend it without any caveats.
I actually watched this drama because I love the drama, Destined With You, Which was directed by the same director. I can really see his growth from this to that. And if you enjoyed this, then I highly recommend that you check out that drama. He corrected all the issues that I had with this drama in that drama.
