Difficult to review this one
Things I loved:
1 The scenes from the past. They were well done and the little children were adorable. Their relationship was great.
2 The little girl, the niece of the 2ML. Great actress and such a cute child. The character as well was great.
3 The friendship between the FL and the 2FL. It felt real.
4 The last episode. I think it was one of the best along with the one titled sweet love. The ending was moving and funny and rewarding for those who spent so much time watching this long series. I loved how they gave us a glimpse of everyone's future and current life.
5 The partner of the ML in the architectural firm. I loved his character. He was necessary to break some over the top seriousness sometimes.
6 The actress of the ML. What a beautiful woman and good actress. Actually I liked most of the acting. I think they were all quite good.
7 The will of the male leads and the partner to help the old lady with her house and then preserve the neighborhood.
Things I liked:
1 Even though the women could be annoying and their fight were sometimes ridiculous, I think their friendship was great. When needed they were there for each other.
2 I also like the siblings relationship. I have two sisters and two brothers and we love each other to death but we can fight and their relationship reminded me especially the one between my younger sister and younger brother. They don't hit each other but they can tease each other mercilessly.
3 I liked that she changed careers and went for what she dreamed.
4 I liked the ex of the FL. He was a kind person and I was sorry he had to go through all this.
5 I liked the relationship between the brother and the girl from the firm. It was sweet and I'm happy to imagine them together in the future.
6 I liked the ex of the ML. Beautiful and poised and also a decent human being.
7 I liked the second couple, I just didn't love it. But compared to other series where I don't care at all for them there it was quite good.
Things I disliked:
1 The clothes the ML wore. What the heck? Sometimes he looked like a child in men's clothes. So distracting and stupid to overlook this. Don't they have eyes?
2 The relationship between the fathers was over the top sometimes. I mean I understand the drinking, but what the heck? Almost every encounter between them was around a bottle of alcohol. Their reactions were more ridiculous than endearing sometimes.
3 The scarce the mother of the ML had. It was underdeveloped and frankly idiotic. It was an insult to those who truly have issues actually. They should have found something else to write about.
4 The fights between the women. Over the top as well and so unnecessary. Drama just for the sake of drama.
5 The nonsensical theme of the restaurant that never had any clients and yet he's supposed to have enough money to support his family. That didn't make sense from the start.
6 I hated that the FL wasn't playful enough, that she didn't show how much he loved him. We saw some glimpses but it was mostly him and that bothered me. I don't know. Sometimes I felt they had chemistry especially when they saw something from the past or when they bickered at the beginning but it never really felt like they were crazy in love and that's important to me when there's romance. So I don't know what to think about their chemistry.
Things I hated:
1 That it was advertised as a rom com and that it wasn't. I hate when I start a series with certain expectations to get disappointed and this one disappointed me even though it was well done. It still wasn't a rom com.
2 The cancer story. Too heavy and although emotional and had its place in a drama it hadn't any place in a rom com.
3 I hated with the passion of thousand suns the words the NL led used before they had sex. I hope it was just the translation because if he really referred to having sex and especially with someone you're supposed to be in love for thirty years as unhealthy thoughts and bad thoughts, they all need to see a psychiatrist. I don't see the need to use such vocabulary. I may not care to see explicit scenes in a series but for heavens' sake behave like adults. There's no romantic relationship without the need to be physically with someone you love. Otherwise it's called friendship. There's nothing unhealthy, bad or I don't know what other stupid word he used to describe how he felt.
4 I also hated the way the main couple but also the second couple in some way behaved. We are talking about people who are 34, not 15, not 20, not 25. 34. And they can't talk about their relationship as adults? They can't express how much they want each other and how much they love each other as adults? They behave as if the were 15. Lamentable. This is the first series in which the couples were so old and behaved so juvenile.
5 I hated that the series made it sound like the parents could ever have any saying in the relationship of their 34 year old children. I get the families that are close and that are interfering in each other's lives but here ridiculousness reached a new height. And really for a year after they got together they didn't live together? What the heck? That's why I said it's difficult to review this series. So many things I liked but also so many I disliked. It started well but got lost somewhere on the road.
