finished this last night... i enjoyed the watch. yes, you leave reality at the door. yes, i wish there was more consistency with the execution of the setup. yes, some of the flashbacks were repetitive. i had fun overall and that's all that matters.

finished this last night... it was neither great nor terrible. started off really well, stories took a turn along the way of which some recovered, some didn't, and some were forgotten. the acting was fine, ml+fl did a good job although one character was certainly more developed than the other [really unfortunate imo]. cameos were a lot of fun. ost wasn't memorable but i did [as always] enjoy janet suhh. i can see why the ending would have mixed reviews. not a waste of time but certainly not in my top 10.

just finished this... i wanted to like this more than i actually did. the acting was good but the story line was full of filler + unsatisfying loose ends. also, didn't find myself emotionally attached to the main characters. interesting concept but flawed execution.

in a nutshell, i was both entertained and frustrated with this one. acting was good, enough that i found myself yelling at the screen when the FL made one of her many mistakes or her mother said something obnoxious. character flaws in abundance here. this would have been much better as a 12 episode offering. my comments below about the soundtrack still stand and found myself actively muting the audio when "stand by your man" came on... and it came on a lot and it didn't help the overall vibe.

an entertaining watch that can be completed in an afternoon. acting was solid, story was fine as was the cinematography. enjoyable!

just finished episode 2 and really love this show. well, everything except the repeating soundtrack, same two songs over and over and over again. kind of detrimental to the overall enjoyment of the series.

finished this last night, overall it was a good and fun watch but really disjointed. probably enjoyed the scenes with wi ha joon / han ji eun more than anything in this series but both roles could have been expanded to make this more entertaining [imo]. story was interesting, villains were hated, cinematography was fine. don't think i'd rewatch but it kept my interest throughout.

just finished this... it was a slow burn but it hit my sweet spot. i really enjoyed the relationships in this one and the pace was appropriate for character growth. acting was good, as were the storyline and cinematography. if you're a fan of one spring night, liberation notes, etc then this will be a great watch for you [otherwise, you may want to skip]. honestly, while it was a slow pace, i never once hit fast forward and just enjoyed the ride.

finished watching this last night, it was okay. started off a little dark but it's needed for plot progression/flashbacks and it gets lighter after. acting was fine, i especially liked seo jung yeon in this one... someone should give her a main role. no real surprises in the storyline and by the middle you could gauge the ending. fun watch with some elements of suspense.

i should have read this before i watched this episode, was going to post the exact same thing. well... almost, i would have said ff until you hit the last 10 minutes. i like this drama but this episode was beyond filler.

just finished this. i can nit about this and that, but overall this was excellent. the story, the acting, the photography were all wonderful. interesting twists here and there as well. suspense, humour, sorrow, action... it's all there as well as perhaps some things to personally think about. a great watch.

just finished this... thoroughly enjoyed it. writing and acting were excellent. this is on par [for me] with moving and kidnapping day. loved how the lives were intertwined. looking forward to part 2.

just finished watching this, it was okay. acting was good, story was fine but i couldn't help feel that i was watching more atmosphere than substance. secondary characters were a lot of fun and added much needed relief to the main leads relationship story. i can see why the ending is causing some folks grief though.

finished this tonight, it was okay at best... some good moments but a lot of filler honestly. was hoping for much more, premise was good as was the acting but it was just missing something. not vested enough to watch Part 2 at the moment, perhaps i'll swing around in a few months to watch that for completion.

finished this last night... unexpectedly entertaining. really enjoyed the relationships that blossomed over time, not just the main leads but the secondary ones as well [perhaps even more so]. ending could have been a little tighter, last several episodes were somewhat uneventful but still fun to watch. if you're looking for some light entertainment and relationships beyond the main leads, give this a try.

finished this last night, it was a fun and enjoyable binge for the week. story was fine with some twists here and there, acting was good [jo bo ah can really turn on the tears] and the OST added some texture/mood. this intrigued me enough to put the prequel on my watch list... won't get to it soon but will get to it.

finished this today... thought provoking. acting was excellent in the sense of what was called for. story was intriguing and left me thinking about the ramifications of living this way. an enjoyable watch.

finished this last night... it was a very decent watch. storyline was good, although i personally wanted a little more punishment for a few of the characters. acting was very good, kudos to han ji min for putting life into lee jung in. perhaps it's a korean thing but getting a divorce or dating someone with a child is not something negative in my reality... but we live in different locations with different social norms. the ost was good but even cake for every meal gets tiresome... would have appreciated a little more variety / less repetition.

this was an enjoyable gem. loved the relationships that evolved through the series and the acting was great... sure there was some over acting but those parts were short. don't be turned off by sung jun's personality in the first handful of episodes, it gets better. some loose ends left but overall the ending was fine. i'd recommend this if you're looking for a light, warm, happy watch.

honestly, i was going to stop watching this at the 5th episode as it was a constant struggle to watch. i'm glad i pushed through because it's a lot better in the second half [story-wise]. acting was fine and what the roles called for. if you're having doubts after the first few episodes, stick with it as you may like it.
