Dramazzzzzzz

The bar is on the floor...

It takes a lot for me to say something is truly overhyped...but this is overhyped.

The BAD:

I THOUGHT it was going to be a moving story that deals with the ups and downs of marriage and divorce, but everytime it got close to a scene that could've been a deep insight into why the love between the ML and FL fell apart, it becomes a stupid, surface level, cheesy conversation. No depth, no real, believable development. Genuinely. If you truly want me to believe that that man was so miserable he was almost relieved to hear his wife was going to possibly die...you better show exactly why he suddenly starts loving his wife again, or show a gradual change as he learns to love his wife again, and have them have a real conversation and build their trust again, and their needs to be an actual reason for them to fall in love again...

Soo Cheol and Da Hye were really interesting at first...I THOUGHT, once again, that they were going to work through their issues and they would discuss why Da Hye kept running away, the abusive ex, yada yada, but what actually happened was, Soo Cheol becomes the manly man not a boy anymore man protector, Da Hye's problems disappear, and it's happily ever after? Ok...

Now don't get me started on Hyein's relationship with her mom. I don't wanna talk about it...or the cheesy predictable villain and his predictable evil plan I've seen only one billion times before.

Ok now.

The good...

The acting is very good. Everyone was really truly good.

Soo-Hyun, Jiwon, Kwak Dong Yeon, Kim Sunghoon.

They all did an amazing job with the cheesy, tropey, predictable, seen before writing they were given.

Something special about this drama.

I've seen 70+ kdramas and started countless others, and rarely does a drama stick with me like this. But this one, gosh. I finished this a few days ago and I'm still not over it. I can't start anything new because nothing else compares. I feel like I'm trying to get over an ex lol.
Anyways, Ji Chang Wook just has these eyes that look so full of love I can't stop thinking about that look. And Shin Hye Sun is just such a talented actress. And their love, aghhhh. How can I ever watch a drama that's not about them??@?@??
Also, Ko Mi Ja's story and the sweetness of the town and its people, and the soundtrack, all stand out to me.
The story and reasoning of characters is sometimes a bit off, but overall the writing was good and the plotlines came together well overall.
This one's going down as one of my all time favorites.

Strong start but dumpster fire ending...

I probably would rate the first half like a 8.5/10, the tension and angst were juicy and everything was choreographed so well, but the second half was unfortunately borderline painful to watch. There's a whole lot of nothing that happens - and it's just sad that a drama with so much potential could fumble this unique love story so badly.

Going on and on about how they can't be together because of something that is literally 0% the MLs fault. I get what happened in the past hurt everyone. I also see that the FL is suffering and her family don't care.

The side couple was weird and forced. Every scene with the FLs witch of an older sister was a hard watch. Oh well. The acting of FL and ML was very good though.

Interesting concept but full of plot holes

It starts off strong, it's fun, intriguing, and fast paced. You want to know what the mystery is and what's going on.

The acting is decent.

And then you get to the ending, the big reveal - and oh boy.

It's so bad. I have so many questions.

1. How did the parents manage to kidnap an entire class of students??? How.
2. Why was no one looking for them? Supposedly the students are just strapped to that machine forever so it must've been a while????
3. HOW did the parents manage to get the technology for it?
4. How are the students staying alive while strapped to the machine???

I feel like for such a fun and interesting plot they could've just made the ending more coherent and it wouldn't have ruined the entire show for me. Because that ending was so horrible.

Idk if anyone should watch it tbh, you'll just get extremely frustrated.

Cute but not cute enough...

I'll start with the good - I like the actors and they have chemistry. I really liked that one flashback scene at the end of episode two. I think it's one of the only scenes I really enjoyed. Lol. So because of their chemistry and cuteness when they actually have a moment I won't make this a 0/0

And Dan-Ho. I like him. I'm interested to see where his character is going.

And now..
I really want to know what overcame the writers, who had two great actors in their hands, and decided to write a kdrama that has some of the most long and drawn out scenes that are so unfunny it's painful, (the entire scene where the mother is hitting the ML and screaming for ten minutes...what was that...) scenes that just don't make sense (why the heck her mother reacted to her daughters life choices the way she did?? What??) the weirdness of the second half of episode four...why are all the characters so dramatic? And violent??? It's getting weird?

Hopefully it gets better and an actual plot develops, yeah I forgot to mention, there is no underlying plot, at least not yet..

All in all it's cute, nothing more nothing less. The deeper messages are poorly handled and super forced.
