I put off watching this one for far too long but ultimately had to because it's been recommended by so many friends and for the cast.

Overall, great drama but not my favorite genre, so less stars from me for personal bias. It seemed a bit too long. Great cast, complex characters that aren't just straight up black and white, and an intricate plot that challenges ethical questions. The love story was sweet but not overly compelling to me. She could have ended up with the 2nd ML, and I might have felt just the same.

I didn't like how dumbed down the FL's character was compared to the ML. Yes, naturally, we all have strengths and weaknesses, but she seemed to exist solely to make the ML improve and move thr story on his own. I know I'm being a bit dramatic here, but for some reason, she really bothers me.

It's also sad that they wrote such deep characters but made the main behind the scenes villain so one sided. Yes, she had a little depth to her, but the transition from one side to another was jarring and weird.

Maybe the biggest thing that put me off, (and again, this is my personal bias) is that even as adults, the leads still seemed like teenagers. It was almost like watching them solve a Scooby Doo mystery. It was hard to take them seriously in their adult roles and careers.

While, like I said before, it's not my favorite genre, I did appreciate a story that was driven by a plot where romance was less centralized and incorporated so intricately.
