Nice and tidy with minor flaws.

It was a nice watch. Song Hyekyo is just... you know WOW, and she had great chemistry with Bogum. The story is predictable but still well-written. There are multiple cliches but honestly, they surprised me with the ending, because after EP15 I thought we're gonna get the same old huge time skip where everything is fine and happy but that didn't happen. They even hinted at a potential 5 year skip with the flower. So the whole drama wasn't as irritating because of that.

I'm not sure about FL's mom arc tho. I'm not a fan of these types of things especially if the character is really toxic. I don't think she deserves a redemption arc. FL lead ex-husband wasn't as bad even if he was obsessed, at the end of the day he had good intentions and thankfully the writer didn't do the same boring story-line with him.

I can understand ML's mother 100%, but I'm also not a fan of these types of breakups. Most of the time it's just a waste of time, because everyone knows the ending.

The side characters were likable and fun, especially the Myung Shik and Sun Joo, also Daechan and Mijin duo. I liked their romance as well, it was a lot of fun with the bickering.

I was afraid of the typical love triangle, but they handled it well.

So, overall this was great. Nothing special or groundbreaking, but it doesn't have to be.
