Overall, I liked it—mainly because I was rooting for the couple and their love story. The male lead is gorgeous and adorable, and she’s smart and sharp, so that side of things is really enjoyable to watch.
That said, from the middle toward the end, the story starts to drag and gets unnecessarily complicated—tense in a tiring way. They keep adding forced and bizarre obstacles just to stretch the plot, and there’s way too much screen time spent on dull, pointless side stories with the secondary characters. They don’t add anything to the main plot and aren’t engaging enough to make up for it.
I ended up speeding through the last five episodes just to finish it, and I actually dozed off a few times because it got that slow.
Honestly, this could’ve worked much better as a 12-episode drama with less overcomplication. And that futuristic ending with him standing by her grave? I get the message, but… why?
We barely even got to see them kiss or share real intimacy, even though before their first breakup they were deeply in love and she was even pregnant.
There’s also an inconsistent shift in her family’s portrayal—at first they’re basically “enslaving” their sons-in-law to cook for them, and later they turn into a normal wealthy family that loves each other despite disagreements. It would’ve been better if that weird setup at the beginning hadn’t been forced in at all.
Anyway, it’s another drama I enjoyed watching—but only by overlooking and setting aside all these inconsistencies.
Faltou sinalizar que a resenha tem spoiler!Eu ainda não assisti o dorama e tomei um baita spoiler no 3º parágrafo…
senti o mesmo. Como amei o casal, a gente põe energia esperando tudo dar certo, mas a história se tornou muito cansativa. Longa, muita enrolação, forçaram realmente a barra com muita dificuldade usando todos os velhos clichês. Ficou tenso e chato. Cenas desnecessárias e entediantes em diversos momentos com o elenco secundário atrasando mais ainda a trama principal, sem nada acrescentar a ela. Tive que assistir acelerando o vídeo nos 5 episódios finais. Acho que poderiam ter feito em 12 ep e complicado menos. E esse fim futurista com ele velando a lápide dela? Entendo a mensagem, mas para quê? A gente mal viu eles se beijando, tendo intimidade, apesar de antes da 1a separação eles terem sido apaixonado e ela até ter tido uma gestação. Teve uma quebra incoerente no perfil da família dela, que no início escravizava os genros pra cozinhar pra eles, depois virou uma família rica normal que se ama apesar dos desentendimentos. Era melhor nem terem forçado esse começo bizarro. Mas enfim, mais um dorama pra lista que eu gostei de ver, mas tendo que abstrair e deixar de lado todas essas incoerências

This drama is genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. The pacing is great, it never feels dragging, the storylines are engaging, and the emotions hit in a soft, comforting way.
The plot develops really well, the romance unfolds nicely, and the couple has great chemistry. For most of the story, the female lead is strong, confident, and consistent. I say “for most of it” because toward the end, the writing weakens a bit— the way the story handles both society’s reaction and her response when the issue with his father comes to light feels inconsistent and pretty forced. Still, she redeems herself, so yeah… I can un-cancel her.
The male lead is also very likable—mature, intelligent, charming, and layered.
The ending, though, leaves you with that slightly underwhelming feeling, even if it’s technically a happy one. You kind of wish we’d seen their relationship more openly, publicly, after everything they went through. It felt like their love and happiness never really got to be shared with the people around them.
The secondary couple also deserved more development—they were actually fun to watch. That said, I still think the friend’s first guy was done dirty. He was just a struggling, hardworking, genuinely devoted guy who loved her for real. He messed up once, and it wasn’t even entirely his fault, and still got the short end of the stick. At least guy number two was more likable.
I also feel like the “game” aspect of the story deserved a more emotional, satisfying wrap-up—it kind of just faded away.
Despite all that, the journey itself was wonderful, and the time spent watching was absolutely worth it.
I ended up dropping it around episode 10 and skipped straight to the finale just to see how it ended—and even then, I didn’t have the patience to watch it all the way through.
The first episode was beautiful. I unexpectedly cried during the hospital scene. In the following episodes, I laughed a lot. Everything seemed like it was going to be great, but the story just loses its way.
Even with the time jumps, the main characters don’t seem to grow at all—it’s just endless back-and-forth like they’re still kids.
I found the female lead’s performance really irritating. I’m not sure if it’s the acting, the way the character was written, or both. She comes off as kind of silly. Honestly, what’s so special about her that these two amazing guys are head over heels for her? Just because she plays the “protector” and tells them to take care of themselves? She’s just… annoying. The only exception is her first hospital scene—she really delivered there and genuinely made me emotional. On second thought, it wasn’t even her that made me emotional — it was what he said on the phone. Honestly, I think she was actually pretty over the top.
The male leads are more engaging—they bring a bit more depth and manage to be more emotionally compelling.
The soundtrack is beautiful and fits the story really well.
What really bothered me was how forced all those interruptions felt—every time they were about to confess, kiss, or actually be together, something would get in the way. I have zero patience for being dragged along for 16 episodes just to maybe see the bare minimum happen in a romance. It made the whole thing boring and exhausting.
Another thing: when I skipped from the middle to the final episode, I was shocked that the kidnapping plot was still going on. It was already getting old halfway through—imagine dragging that out until the end.
Anyway, if you enjoy overly sweet melodramas that keep teasing you all season just to reward you with a wedding at the end, then go for it.
It's so sad when the story starts out really well, interesting, with great acting, but after about 15 to 20 episodes it completely drops in quality. The story doesn't evolve, the plots are poorly done, even the actors' performances become mediocre. What's the point of the couple not spending the night together on their wedding night??? How does a clueless cousin show up to ruin everything? That's ridiculous. Then the couple continues without even exchanging kisses or intimacy. It's nothing like the glances they exchanged at the beginning.
It started off really well—engaging and building strong expectations for both the story and the characters—but that didn’t even last through the first 10 episodes. After that, it’s all downhill: the writing, the characters, the acting, the villains, the plot—everything becomes terrible. On top of that, the storyline is extremely slow and dragged out, taking forever to move forward. And then, in the final episode, it ends without properly resolving several storylines.
That said, from the middle toward the end, the story starts to drag and gets unnecessarily complicated—tense in a tiring way. They keep adding forced and bizarre obstacles just to stretch the plot, and there’s way too much screen time spent on dull, pointless side stories with the secondary characters. They don’t add anything to the main plot and aren’t engaging enough to make up for it.
