Every Beginning requires some sort of collison
We're basically following three relationships orbiting each other's universe ...(that sentence makes sense after watching the series).
I must say, I thought the first six episodes were very well written and performed ... secret feelings toward someone else, but never the courage to speak up about it. Hui Su in love with his best friend is a classic theme in these stories. Naturally, his friend Chan Yeong as no clue about it. Once Seung Won gets involved in the story, that sends another story in the mix. He now loves Hui Su, but keeps this a secret from him literally to the very end.
It was kind of entertaining watching all the misunderstanding going on, back & forth ... back & forth ... back & forth ...
BUT then ... it started becoming too many back & forth.!!
By episode 7 it's kind of exhausting watching the miscommunication between all the main characters. The very last episode resolves all the stories going on, but it seemed kind of rushed in episode 10 to correct everything. I think between episode 7-9 they could have shaved out so much slow time and given more to the happy endings that occur quickly at the very end.
There are some very good scenes later in this drama, especially when Hei Su finally tells his long time best friend, Chan Yeong how he has felt toward him. It's a strong scene between the two of them. Ji Ho definitely gives a strong performance, both comedic & dramatic.
I think the once lesson you can take away from this series is a line delivered during the narration from Hui Su ... "Don't hesitate, the time given to us is nothing more than a fleeting moment"
