The young couple stole the show
The things I adored
1 The young ML. He was gorgeous and also a great actor. I felt everything he felt whether it was pain or joy. He did a wonderful job showing his feelings and he was also a great character. He had chemistry with the young FL. One of the best couples I've ever seen.
2 The young FL. What a luminous actress. She embodied her role perfectly. She had great chemistry with the young ML and she also managed to make me feel everything she felt. I wanted them together so much. I cried quite a few times, I laughed as well. The best part of this drama was the young couple.
3 I love the concept of high school sweethearts meeting again later in life. It didn't deliver what I was hoping because of the main couple, but still, the theme is one of my favorites and the story was quite good.
4 The last scene. It was the perfect ending. I just had to close the eyes and imagine the young couple there.
The things I loved
1 The script. It was believable to me and except for some silly parts it was good. Overly dramatic as well for some things but a solid script nevertheless.
The things I liked
1 The 2 ML. I didn't care about his relationship with the FL, but all in all he wasn't a bad person. He was decent and had an interesting backstory.
2 The friendship between the FL and the 2 FL. I liked how supportive she was and open and honest.
3 Some of the school members. They were funny and cared.
4 How the story ended with the rivalry between the grandfathers.
The things I disliked
1 The ML. Difficult to put him on the "disliked list" when I liked the whole drama but he was completely wrong for the role. The comparison with the young ML doesn't help either. If another actor was playing this role this drama would be almost perfect. But he didn't have the physique and the wittiness to carry the role. At least the way it was written, with the rivalry and the silly bets etc. I love that kind of silliness but he couldn't deliver. Sometimes he was okay especially after they got together when he started smiling more. But he still lacked the charm his role needed.
2 The FL. She was wrong cast as well. The witty, luminous character the young FL displayed was nowhere to find. And yes, I get that the went through a lot and couldn't be the same person, but still. She wasn't charming or beautiful enough to embody the character well. Actually the couple had he same issues. They were good together, but not for this kind of role. Both are average, both look way older than the 36 year olds they're supposed to play, and both tried too hard to be funny. Some of the expression the FL had were awful. She didn't play well the charming, quirky, dynamic lead. The young couple carried the story to be honest. She was better when she started smiling, but not enough to save the role. I'm surprised by such a bad casting when they nailed the casting of the young couple.
The story about the other kids at school. To be honest i didn't care at all.
2 The second couple. Didn't care either. The actor was too old and haggard and the actress could do better.
The things I hated
1 The way the FL dressed. So unflattering, and the worst wedding dress I've ever seen in my life in movies and actual life. What the heck was that?
2 The wench who played the supposed friend. I hate the actress in all her dramas, that's given. But here I hated the way no one hold her responsible. What the actual heck? Why the FL would give her a free pass? What she did was despicable and she did it again. it's not like the learned her lesson, like she regretted. She just backed down when she didn't have a choice. Are we supposed to believe that any person who'd lose 18 years of happiness with someone and went through painful moments because of her would let her off the hook so easily? And even if that person exists how is that normal? How is it normal to destroy someone's happiness and to never face the consequences. Despicable as I said on all levels.
