a would be exceptional love story... but then

Before I start complaining, let me just say that this was one of the most wonderful love stories I've seen, and it's begging will always have a deep place in my heart.
It's so sad that the same beautiful beginning that I loved so much, because of her understanding and unconditional love for him, is what the writers decided to use to ruin this drama for me. What they did goes against the very core of her character, and they twist her into someone we can't stand. Instead, they should have found a different way or at least resolved the issues before the ending. But nope. So I couldn't get over being disgusted at how they decided to use the conflict to break them up. So here's what I loved, cause they're a lot to love, and what I didn't love so much.

LIKES

-This is the kind of slow burn I absolutely love. It's poetic and screams silently that you watch it
-Episode one was just insane and I was hooked. My jaw was on the floor.
-watching them grow slowly in love. Just wow.
-her steadfast devotion and love for him
- Their acting deserves an award. Especially his.
- Their chemistry was off in some bits but was fire when they let go
-how they balance between his character back then and now
-It was revealed little by little and let us fall for the characters and understand them more
-The fashion and OST went with this drama perfectly

DISLIKES
-After episode 10 I started feeling like the story wasn't going anywhere oh but they fixed it a few episodes down
-She suddenly started acting out of character and distrusting him for no reason. All she had to do was talk to him. I hate these fake "Let's make a reason for them to break up" parts. He's literally given her no reason to doubt him
-Their first fight, and she is already giving up on him, knowing everything he's been through. So lame.
-Ep 14 was just a filler cause they had nothing to do. I can tell I'm going to start hating this drama. Her fears are stupid and unreasonable.
- She begged to be with him, knowing he was disabled, and he was hesitant because of that, but he let her in, and now his disability is the reason she's leaving him.
- We all know it was because she was jealous of the second lead lady, and I wished they would have just explored that and gotten over it. But no.
-her wanting him to have hearing and be like everyone else when she knew what she signed up for feels like the biggest slap in the face and I hate her for it
- The scene that broke me was when he called out her name even though he couldn't talk. He was in so much pain. I wept for him. It genuinely broke my heart.
-There was no integration between him and her friend group or family, which was sad. -This is one of the endings I despise, where they waste my time throughout the whole episode 16 and give the characters 2 seconds to get back together with no real explanation, just expecting us to be happy that they gave us crumbs, and I do not like it. -The issue she left him for was never resolved, they just got back together cuz they missed each other, but like, what's to tell me that she's not just going to get tired again?

So overall, I will say I enjoyed this fresh new take and the concept was nice. I loved the actors and how mature everything was. I don't know if I'd recommend it to someone who loves clear-cut endings where all the issues are solved. If you're a completionist and must see a drama through, even if most of the main issues don't get solved, if they end up together, you're happy, then this is the one for you.
