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.

It was a different kind of watch, enjoyable but different and might not be to everyone's liking. Acting was good and the storyline was fun + original. Ending was meh, that's the only downside.

Just finished watching... it was excellent. Solid to the end with a great story and wonderful acting.

finished this today, overall a good + fun watch. became invested in the characters and storylines so it was a fast and enjoyable binge. acting was good and the pace was decent. wish they did more with lee su hyun's character but since the episodes were short, there really wasn't much time for development of the characters outside of the leads.

just finished watching this... it was great. Excellent story, fantastic acting, and well developed characters [for a shorter series]. In the end, stop reading this and go watch it. now.

finished watching this tonight... very entertaining! honestly, i wasn't expecting this to be as good as it turned out to be. the writing was fine, well acted, characters developed over time, lots of pretty people and [finally] some realistic romance. didn't hit the fast forward button once.

just finished watching this... it was entertaining. honestly, i was going to stop after the first two episodes because the acting was so bad [soooooo bad] but once the focus moved from the US to Korea, the acting miraculously became better [not great but better]. the drama certainly had its share of pretty people experiencing conflicts/breakups/reunions/love/pain/doubts/abuse/etc and there were some cringeworthy moments by today's standards. it was a fun ride overall and an interesting time capsule for the actors that have gone on to greater stardom. a good watch!

finished this a few nights ago... it was fine but nothing great. the acting was overall good but the storylines were chaotic and the secondary characters/plots were not used to their full potential. for example mi ram + park kyung hye's characters had no development which is a shame because they could have added greatly to the overall atmosphere. oh well, lost opportunities. still a fun watch.

just finished this last night [first time watch]... excellent. story was fun + interesting, acting was good, music was a positive + added to the atmosphere. could it have been a tighter 16 episodes? sure, but i really didn't mind the added filler. those that have been wondering if it still holds up against current shows, it does... very well. i'll definitely put this on my rewatch list.

finished this last night... it was fine. it made me smile, the acting was good and the secondary characters were fun as well. could it have been better? yes, absolutely. there were elements of comic success and perhaps the best one liner i have encountered all year ["Stop eating him"], i just wish there had been more of that aspect in the series. that said, it was a fun watch that left me happy.

finished this last night. i feel like i have walked a hundred kilometers with the characters and sat patiently / endlessly through the daily train rides. certainly a slow pace but it works. decent character development and well acted for the roles as written. sure, it could have been a tighter 12 episode offering but perhaps it would have lost some of its atmosphere and mood. don't know if it will go on my rewatch list but i did enjoy watching it once.

finished it last night, it was... okay. i'll probably look back in six months and not be able to recall much of anything that i saw. that said, i enjoyed my time watching. it was light, safe and fun.
