This was definitely better than I expected.

The cover of this drama is very misleading. It looks like a sweet and BORING romance when it's NOT.

This is a drama where the ML chases the FL, but unlike the usual Cdramas where the FL is being annoying and pushing the ML away when he's being nice and sweet, here, it's the opposite. The FL does try to push the ML away, and with good reason. He chases her in the worst possible ways, which I loved. Everything he does to keep her close, does the exact opposite. Since he's rich and she's poor, you know money is the leverage he uses, which thankfully doesn't attract the FL.

I loved the FL in this drama, usually in these types of dramas I wouldn't really like the FL. Here, the FL is a practical person, she has good reason to do the things she does. Even her crush on her childhood friend made sense because he was really good to her, just not boyfriend material. I found it hilarious and ironic that her crushes role model was the ML.

I also LOVED the ML. Despite the fact that he does go overboard in trying to "own" the FL, I understood why he went to such lengths to do so. I loved his charecter development and his backstory really does explain why he became such a cold person who only cares about money and I loved how his backstory is never hidden, we know it from the very begining. His charecter is the definition of "money can't buy you happiness". He is a very lonely person who grew up with parents that didn't seem to love him and instead dotted on his adopted brother. He was an outsider to his own family. I think that's why he grew to have a phobia of touching people, because those who were meant to be the closes to him, abandoned him. What's worse is that he was replaced by his parents with the SML (Ning Fei).

This is a slow burn romance. Maybe a bit too slow, when it came to the romance. But, even when the leads where just "friends", their relationship was more like that of a couple rather than friends. I also loved the second lead couple, though they were more like siblings throughout the drama.

The story can definitely continue as the ending is open and I'm so happy that there's going to be a season 2 with the same cast.

A timetravel drama that actually made some sense.

I actually really liked this drama. At first I didn't really like the FL but that's because we saw the drama from the ML's perspective. Once he finally really sees the FL in the past and present, with the ML as an adult, beyond his crush on her, her character becomes so much more understandable. I also LOVED that the ML and FL always liked each other, it wasn't just the ML pining after the FL for 10 years. If you look closely, the "wedding ring" she's wearing at the start, is the ring the ML bought her for his confession, something that was later confirmed. The only thing I hated about this drama was that the FL took so long to get together with the ML because she was always running.

Despite the fact that I felt bad for young Kang Shin Woo because Ji Soo fell for the adult version of him, I LOVED that the present (2017) plot had older Kang Shin Woo be Ji Soo's first love, though it was confirmed that Ji Soo fell for all three version of Shin Woo (originally timeline young Shin Woo, older Shin Woo and alternate timeline young Shin Woo). I still had second lead syndrome of sorts for young, alternate timeline Shin Woo, because he always came second to Ji Soo after the older version of him. He never knew what it felt like for have his (young) love to be reciprocated as it was for the original timeline Shin Woo (AKA older Shin Woo when he was a teen).

Also, despite the fact that Shin Woo couldn't change his own future by going to the past, I loved that he was able to change his fate, he was able to change his present (his future from the point the drama started at). He was also able to change the future of his old class mate, preventing his death and allowing him to have a bright future ahead.

Unlike many other time travel dramas I've seen, this is the only one that had an ending that made sense of sorts. We got to see the original (older) Kang Shin Woo (the ML) get his happy ending by going back in time, figuring everything out, and then changing his present. And we also got to see young Kang Shin Woo (the SML) grow to become the older version of himself (the SML becoming the ML) that meets Ji Soo in 10 years, with several time jumps showing him aging and finally meeting Ji Soo at the time he was meant to. Both leads, though the same person, got their HEA in a way that made sense to the timeline of events, entirely because the SML made it a point to follow the ML's footsteps.

A well written plot with really good character development.

This is a drama where I felt like I understood where all the characters were coming from and I couldn't hate them for the decisions they made, despite how stupid these decisions may be. This was a really well written drama and focused really well on several very different, somewhat out there (for a Kdrama) couples:
- A married couple consisting of a queer potentially gay or bi man and a heterosexual woman.
- A really unexpectedly adorable couple where a man who seemed like a player turned out to be the most down to earth and also faithful character.
- A really toxic engaged couple consisting of an obsessed woman and a cheating man.
- The main couple which was sort of a slow burn office romance that grew from the ML's long time crush and genuine admiration of the FL.

There were some characters that I really disliked, like the FL's mother or the SML, but everyone had really good character development. By the end, I actually liked all the characters. There was a time jump towards the end of the drama, and though I didn't really like it, it was needed in order to conclude all the storylines. Everyone had their own happy ending, and you can say some of the characters had an open ending. Not all the happy endings went "and they lived happily ever after", they were real endings where everyone was happy with where they were and where they were headed.

This drama definitely grew on me, but I almost dropped it because of the FL at the start.

At first the FL really annoyed me, especially in the first episode. She was so bloody unprepared and ignorant, she seemed like she didn't even care for gaming at all but still wanted to be a commentator. I wanted to drop the drama altogether but I actually liked the ML throughout. Her character does grow. She becomes less ignorant and actually starts to do really well in her field because she starts gaming herself in order to understand it. What I loved most about her was that she didn't want to be part of any drama and ran away from it whenever she had the chance and I couldn't blame her.

I sort of started this drama for Wang Yibo, but mostly because I wanted to watch another drama like "Falling For Your Smile". This drama definitely has a LOT more complicated drama than the other show, but it still had the sweet slow burn romance and friendship between team mates. I didn't really like the storyline of the ML's ex girlfriend coming back, I never like those types of storylines and the ML have way to much credit to his ex.

I really liked the ML, he was a great friends, good teammate and a good gamer, but when it came to romance he wasn't really good at it. Whilst he was close friends with the FL and even when they started dating, he had a way to close of a relationship with his ex girlfriend, despite the fact that he genuinely didn't want to get back together with her. It made sense for the FL to make a run for it when she saw her boyfriend (the ML) tell his ex that he'll take care of her forever (due to an injury).

I like that the villain is of this drama were very real. They weren't necessarily bad people, all their actions that made them the "villain" was out of jealousy. But what I hated was that at the very end, they all somehow become good, after making the main leads go through hell, they are suddenly supportive of the leads and happy for them with no explanations.

Great friendship, great romance and no unnecessary drama.

I LOVED everything about this drama. The cast was perfect, and full of visuals and great acting, all the characters were amazing. This isn't a drama where you'd hate any character, in fact you'd love most of them and I loved that.

This was a really sweet slow burn romance where the leads have chemistry from the very beginning. The best thing about this drama is definitely the friendship between all the teammates especially in team ZGDX.

Another thing that made this drama so good was that there was very little drama when it came to the leads. There wasn't really any family problems, no relationship problems and even though there is the ex that comes back, it didn't effect the relationship between the leads in any way. There is a love triangle (maybe 2, neither if which were real) but it doesn't effect the relationship between any of the characters. There was nothing and no one stopping the leads getting together and just about everyone shipped them together.

I also really liked the second lead couple. They were a bit unexpected and I didn't think they would last, seemed more like a fling. But, they were actually really cute and supportive of each other. I love it when the SFL and FL are genuine best friends.

I liked the FL's ex, he was a great character, I just didn't like him as her ex. I didn't get second lead syndrome in this drama, at all for him; I can't understand why people did. I can never, and will never, get second lead syndrome for a CHEATER. A man who treated the FL like an object and only wanted her back because she was better than him at e-sports and he thinks she moved on. He reminded me of the SML from Skip Beat!, only here he was actually a decent person, only a TERRIBLE boyfriend. Yes, he's good looking, but so was litterally EVERY other character in this drama.

Everyone grows on you and are understandable if not relatable.

I LOVED Kang Sol A and Joon Hwi and their professor, I loved all the other main charecters as well, but mostly them. Kang Sol A is such a relatable students, other than the fact that she cares too much about everyone else. Joon Hwi is the kind of student every law student aspires to be, coming from a person studying law. This was the first drama I've watched where I can actually relate to the characters especially when it comes to studying unlike high school dramas because the Korean education system is completely different to that in England.

Every law student we see at this school has their own case to bring, an important and big case. Not only are they students learning the law, they're also practicing it through their own cases, biggest case being the murder of one of their professors, where at some point, just about everyone seems suspicious. They all got an internship with their rival, the people they are litterally fighting against in court which was ironically funny.

I LOVED how all the characters were their for each other and stood by each others side through all the ordeals they went through. Everyone had their own problems, but they made time and sacrificed their opportunities to stand up for the friends and professor, not just out of loyalty, but out of a sense of justice.

I have never been this frustrated because of the ending of a drama. So many hints, so much CHEMISTRY and so much time and yet they DON'T end up together. They had 2 time jumps going several tears into the future and we still don't seen Kang Sol A and Joon Hwi get together. I was hoping for an ending like Vincenzo where the leads end up together, as a couple at the last minute, but we got NOTHING.

The actors did an amazing job with their roles especially with all the issues the filming had.

I didn't know anything about the plot of this drama before starting it. I started this drama to see Kim So Hyun play a character that was more mature. She did amazing playing the roles of both mother and daughter, her vibe in this drama was completely different to all her other dramas I've seen. And I've read so much about Na In Woo and his role in this drama, he did amazing and it didn't feel as though (I believe) episode 4 was the first episode he filmed because he fit right in, the chemistry and emotions were there from the start.

A strong female lead who can hold her own in a fight; I feel like there isn't enough of this in Asian dramas, but we're starting to get a lot more of it in Kdramas and Cdramas. I LOVED that every female we meet in this drama is really strong, physically and mentally or just a female that holds a lot of power.

I loved the ML, don't get me wrong. But, it was the SML's loyalty to the crown that really got me. I was dubious whether or not his loyalty would remain, but I LOVED everything about it and he was in the toughest situation out of all the other charecters and I wouldn't have blamed him for 'turning to the dark side'. Though the last thing I expected was a love triangle and me getting really annoyingly bad second lead syndrome.

I LOVED the ML and FL's mutual loyalty and love for each other, their personalities and upbringing evened each other in a way. She grew up as an assassin only knowing to kill and he grew up in the village and was taught not to harm others. She carries the world on her shoulders whilst he seems very lighthearted and free, he also brought all the humor. I LOVED how they both had the same goal and the same enemy to destroy, they both had the same reason to fight the war they were fighting, it didn't feel as though the FL was dragging the ML into her fight because it was their fight. They were always there for each other at all the right times and never gave up on each other.

But I HATED how it was essentially love at first sight. It made no sense for them to love each other the way they did within the first few days of their encounter as adults. This is one of the reasons I shipped the FL so hard with the SML, because it made sense: it was very obvious he liked her since the first episode when they were both children, and his love for her, even as adults, was very genuine.

I actually kinda loved the ending of this drama, especially for the main leads, they deserved to be free from the palace and get a happy ending. The second leads ending was inevitable, after the first half of the drama, especially after the time jump, it did not seem as though the SML would get a happy ending.

As expected from Ji Sung, I LOVED everything about this drama.

I watch Ji Sung's drama for him and nothing else. He is such an amazing actor and he has very expressive eyes. I had no idea what this drama was about before starting it, I didn't read the synopsis, tags or cast, only the genre, but I LOVED all of it.

There was so much chemistry between the leads. Heck, there was chemistry between EVERYONE, and they all developed such great friendships.

This is the kind of slow burn romance I love. It started off with admiration turning into friendship and growing into romantic love fairly quickly. It was very obvious the leads had feelings for each other, and unlike other slow burn romance dramas, the leads were able to build a romantic relationship before the end of the drama (around halfway through in fact), one that can withstand the test of time and long distance.

I LOVED every storyline and I LOVED how every character had depth. Everyone had their own story explaining why they do/did the things the do/did. And I loved how good and bad wasn't black and white, no one (not even the villain(s)) was fundamentally bad and at the end you couldn't hate anyone for what they did.

The only thing I didn't like about this drama was how little screentime the second lead, prosecutor Son Suk Gi had. He has a huge role to the plot of the drama, but his story takes place more off screen than on screen. I really wish we got to see more of him because I just loved his charecter development and relationship with Cha Yo Han. I get that this is a doctor drama, but his prosecution and investigation side of the drama was really interesting and it was entirely revolved around the medical aspect of the story.

As much as I didn't like the time jump at the end, it was a reasonable jump and needed for there to be a happy ending of sorts.

Good start and a good end. The middle was just okay.

I think I would have liked this drama more if I had binged it in one go.

I loved the ML and FL, they had a cute romance as well as their own storylines. Their romance was not at all toxic in ANY way as a lot of Cdrama and Kdrama (especially Thai dramas) romances tend to be. It was nice seeing an FL who is realistically strong. The FL lives by herself, doesn't really have a good job but is pursuing her dream job. She doesn't NEED a man to help her. Anxin is one of the most feminist, but realistic FL characters I've seen in a Cdrama. An observation: usually, in a drama it would have really focused shots of a man doing handiwork, sweating and everything, but here, those shots were used for the FL, it was new to me for a Cdrama.

I also loved the ML, there was no toxic masculinity in this drama, other then that, he's like every other ML.

A huge focus of this drama was the families of the FL and ML. I LOVED the ML's family, couldn't hate any of them. His dad and older brother were definitely my favourites.
The FL's family was screwed up. Didn't really like any of her family members other than her brother. It was very obvious when it turned out that her brother was adopted and that she was close to him, that there will be something else going on, I don't need to explain, it's a Cdrama.

I don't actually remember what happened towards the middle-end of this drama. I skipped through most of it as the plot dragged, but it got better at around episode 20.

I liked the twists at the end and I preferred all the storylines focusing on the ML's family then I did the FL's family. The one thing I hated about this drama was that the FL never got an apology of any sort from her family. I NEEDED a father/daughter scene, a redemption of sorts.

Lost the plot of this drama less then half way though because I just didn't care.

I LOVED how this drama started of with a BANG. The FL went through so much shit since the VERY begining of the first episode, very SERIOUS things, but it was all done in such a comedic way. Just in the first episode, she could have almost been shot to death, drowned or outright murdered.

I LOVED the constant misunderstandings the FL had of the ML. She thought he was a gay gigolo with a crush on the guy she likes, the SML. I don't know when she stopped thinking he was a gigolo, but it was hilarious watching her think he was gay when he actually had a crush on her. The ML was so CUTE, personality wise as well as handsomeness.

There were so many twists in this drama that I just lost the plot half way through. I had no idea what was going on by the last 4 episodes and I honestly wasn't sure who the actual villain to the story was, or who was dead/alive. I have no idea why the main villain did what they did, who they actually worked for and whether or not they even cared. He/she seemed like a sociopath.

I'm surprised I didn't drop this drama, but it wasn't bad enough to drop, it just wasn't good enough to not skip through. I would say one thing about this drama though and that is: don't get attached to any characters or storylines.

I HATED the ML, ironic because I started this drama for him.

I really liked the FL in this drama, and I usually don't for old Kdramas. The ML got on my nerves, I mean the romance was sweet between the leads, but the bickering went TOO FAR. I don't know how the FL didn't burst out crying because of some of the shit the ML says, because I cried. Ji Eun was a really strong FL similar to the FL's in current Kdramas. My heart broke a million times watching this drama and I just wanted the FL to give up on the ML altogether.

I LOVED the SML, which is funny because I started this drama after being sure that Rain was the ML. I had really bad second lead syndrome in this drama, not because the FL and SML had better chemistry, but because their friendship was better than any romance between the ML and FL. Yeong Jae was such a PRICK to Ji Eun and he had so much double standards, I couldn't believe how blind he was at the double standards he had for Ji Eun and Min Hyuk but couldn't see how he was worse with Hye Won. The fact that the ML was nicer and much more understanding towards the FL when they were strangers and not when they were married, really annoyed me. If you're going to get married to someone, even if it's not real, you should at least respect the person you're married to. Yeong Jae had no respect for Ji Eun and it took until the end of the drama for him to finally respect her as a friend (first) and then as a WIFE, if it even reached that point. He really told her that she means NOTHING to him as a person and he always compared her to an inanimate object, not to mention laughed in her face when she confessed her potential feelings for him, at that point, he just became a joke.

As much as I loved Ji Eun, I couldn't stand how many chances she gave Yeong Jae. I got sick of her love for him when he told her MANY times that she meant nothing to him.

Yeong Jae was similar to the SML in My Little Princess (Cdrama), only here, he was married and not engaged to her. The SML in My Little Princess is so much better than Yeong Jae overall, because he at least had some good qualities personality wise. I also HATED the FL's so called friends, they were the cause to almost all the problems in this drama.

The only characters that made this show worth watching are Ji Eun and Min Hyuk.

Great start, but dragged with almost no plot towards the end.

This drama started off focusing on one main plot: memories; Ha Jin's forgotten memories AND Jung Hoon's never forgotten memories.
Within a few episodes this changed directions almost entirely and focused on the stalker storyline interlinking Seo Yeon's (ML's ex and FL's best friend) death with Ha Jin's present stalker.
This was very smooth sailing as it didn't feel like a complete change in plot through the way they executed it as it still focused on memories. But, AFTER 10 episodes, the whole stalker storyline ENDED completely and was concluded really nicely. But, then in the last 6 episodes, it was as if her whole stalker storyline didn't even happen and as we move on to the first storyline of Ha Jin remembering her past.

The last 6 episode were very SLOW and I found myself skipping through most of it. Nothing much happens and it goes exactly as you'd predict.

One thing I loved about this show is that you are left seriously questioning who Ha Jin's stalker could be. All the potential suspects had so many of the stalkers characteristics and had the potential to be the stalker. I was surprised and happy with who the actual stalker was and the actor did really well in this role. I'm not going to mention who the stalker was.

I liked the main lead couple. They had a really slow burn romance that was really mature and focused a lot on loss.

I LOVED the second lead couple: Ha Kyung and Il Kwon. Their romance was also really slow burn and mature, but in a different, more comedic way. They were also the sibling/like sibling of the main couple and their pairing was adorable. The couple that always argues about everything, gender role reversal couple who had litterally no interest in each other until they spent A LOT of time together. They were the couple that stayed together once they decided to be together. (SPOILER) They were also really good at making a long distance relationship work.

I loved the cast of this drama:
- Moon Ga Young: I can't not love the characters she plays. She can really play the nice, adorable, naive girl without annoying me.
- King Dong Wook: First drama of his I've watched and I felt that his role really suited him. His hairstyle, outfits and just the way he speaks really suited his anchor role as well as a man who has suffered loss and is constantly suffering from that loss.
- Kim Seul Gi: I loved her character so much, a small but very feisty person who seemed more like the older sibling than the actual older sibling.
- Lee Jin Hyuk: Another actor I saw for the first time. I loved his role, though it was kind of cliche, but he played it really well.
- Jee Il Joo: There is something about him that just made him so perfect for his role. I've seen an edit of him playing a psychopath in another show, and I have to say, he played the role as one of the potential stalkers REALLY well. There is something unsettling about his smile and I loved it.

This drama was worth the watch, but it definitely should have been shorter. I did not like how it dragged for several episodes with very little plot.

This drama defined the thin line between love and hate.

Started this drama for Ji Sung after watching Kill me, Heal me. He's an AMAZING actor and I loved the chemistry between the main leads.

I LOVED this drama. Didn't like the stupidly of the FL at first, but after 4 episodes, I started to like her more.

Music: Perfect. All the sound tracks went so well with all the scenes, it made them so much more dramatic and let you feel the tension.

This drama really shows you the thin line between love and hate. It shows the difference between love and obsession and love that starts from obsession. The opposite of Wuthering Heights.

Main Leads (Min Hyeok and Yoo Jung): I loved Min Hyeok immediately and throughout. I also loved Yoo Jung, she grew on me, but at first she was just plain naive and stupid. Min Hyeok and Yoo Jung, though they seem a world apart, especially in the first few episodes, they were really alike. Out of every character in this drama, they were the only two who truly knew how to love another person and sacrifice for them. Min Hyeok was at first obsessed with revenge, but his stalking of Yoo Jung litterally saved her life countless times. He was there for her when no one else was. I found it ironic and quite funny that the person who said they hated Yoo Jung the most, was the person who was always there for her to lean on and rely on. His revenge was an obsession, but his love for her was real unlike the relationship between the second leads.

Second Leads (Do Hoon and Se Yeon): I really liked the Se Yeon at the start (the first half) of this drama. She had a really nice friendship with Min Hyeok whome she was engaged to. She was a really nice person in general, which is why the Do Hoon started obsessing over her. I wouldn't say Do Hoon ever truly loved her because he didn't have the emotional capacity to love. At the start she was simply friendly to the Do Hoon and very clear that she only wanted friendship. But when she started actually siding with the Do Hoon, and not just to make Min Hyeok jealous, I started to dislike her, I HATED her double standards. Her love for Min Hyeok was an obsession, similar to Do Hoon's obsession with her. Her downward spiral was very satisfying though I did find it a pity that such a good person went down as she did. I'd blame it on Do Hoon, but she helped further instigate him by leading him on and telling him to go up the social ladder, entirely so that she can make Min Hyeok jealous. The only satisfaction I found with Se Yeon and Do Hoon's relationship was that they were both pathetically clinging on to each other and using each other, and were both too stupid to realise this.

My favourite quote:
- Min Hyeok after he reads Wuthering Heights says: "Revenge that starts from love ends in tragedy. What I'm curious about is, if it's the opposite, love that starts from revenge, what happens to that?"
- Min Hyeak to Do Hoon (FL's ex) after he starts dating Yoo Jung: "Pitiful bastard. Do you still not know what you've lost?" (He truly appreciated the Yoo Jung, something the Do Hoon didn't have the capacity to do and couldn't fathom why Do Hoon treated her so badly).

Ending (SPOILERS):
The thing I was anticipating the most in this drama is not the main leads ending up together, but the second leads getting what they deserve. I really wanted the Yoo Jung to get her justice and by episode 15 it really seemed like she would. But, I was NOT satisfied with the justice she got. Do Hoon and his mother deserved MUCH worse. They both needed to be punished for EVERYTHING they did, but they didn't. I didn't care much for Se Yeon, the fact that her love wasn't reciprocated and would never have been reciprocated by Min Hyeok was enough for me.

Great start, dragged midway but good ending

I originally started this drama after watching a scene on YouTube when the FL meets the third male lead. I thought TML was the ML and started this drama only to immediately realise that he was not the ML. But I was not disappointed by the real ML as I thought I'd be.

I loved how this drama started off with the two leads already crushing on each other HARD. At the start we saw the drama mostly from the FL's POV and how she has a crush on the ML who seems to be indifferent towards her. But, man was that wrong. Though she has a HUGE crush on the ML, the ML somehow has an even BIGGER crush on the FL and it's so adorable, sweet and so bloody pure. They both really liked each other from the begining and for some reason it gave me Miraculous (Adrian and Marinette) vibes, especially with all the "but we're friends" excuse.

I loved the relationship between the SML and the FL. The SML has SML the typical characteristics of a SML, the guy that was always by the FL's side and later developed a crush on her, but he is also the loyal best friend (like a bromance). He was also the comedic character as well as childhood/life-long friend of the FL. I LOVED him all throughout, but he had no chance with the FL because their relationship was really more like siblings so I couldn't really get second lead syndrome.

The TML is introduced after several episodes and by his entrance he really did seem like he'd be the ML. He is the rich, bully and playboy that picks on the FL and falls for her after litterally getting hit by her several times, twice on their first meeting. He gave me vibes of the ML from Meteor Garden, the 2018 one where the ML immediately fell for the FL. He genuinely liked the FL and I got serious second lead syndrome for him. When the drama started to drag and the ML started to get on my nerves because of the SFL (his childhood friend), I really wanted the FL to end up with the TML, because TML was so genuine and really stuck by the FL. His ending reminded me of the SML in My Little Princess.

Nicknames the TML "Senior" has for the ML and SML:
"Zombie Face" = ML
"Idiot Face" = SML

As far as humor, the ML was not funny, at all, I mean "zombie face" was the perfect nickname for him. The SML was hilarious and I loved him, but when the TML came in, he was somehow so much funnier and made the plot even better. The three of them had some of the funniest scenes together, I'd rewatch this drama just for their scenes together. The plot got sad for the TML though.

This drama started off great and I really liked the plot of the main leads until they finally confessed to each other. I also loved how flirty the ML was with the FL when they finally got together, but their plot got annoying after that, mostly because of the ML. The second lead couple was really cute and hilarious and never failed lighten the mood. The plot dragged and I skipped through the last few episodes, watched about 5 minutes of each of the last few episodes.

I liked everyone but the female lead

I didn't really like this drama, mostly because of the female lead. Not that she was bad or anything, she's much better (personality) than the FL's in some of the Cdrama's I've watched. But considering the fact that this is a Taiwanese drama and one with really high ratings, I had higher expectations where the plot and the FL were concerned.

I really liked a lot of the characters in this drama. I didn't hate anyone, in fact I really liked the SFL. When I saw the tag 'love triangle' and 'forbidden love', I didn't expect to like the second leads, but I loved her. The SML was okay, but he was more pitiful than anything and after the time jump, I wouldn't even consider him, the SML, as a romantic interest.

What I didn't like about the FL was her whole vibe. She was born in a somewhat wealthy family and is shown to have had everything at a young age before it is all taken from her, at that point she was already very mature and I'm assuming around 10. But, by the time she is an adult she is shown to be a "bento girl". Her whole image was a poor and innocent girl, somehow her past as a well educated and mannered child is completely erased and she is a world apart from the ML who starts off as a rich playboy. The FL's charecter was annoyingly cliche in this whole 'Rich Man/ Poor Woman' trope drama. I thought it would be different since she grew up rich, but it didn't make any difference to this cliche plot. I also hated her style, the actress is pretty but I didn't like her country style, overly innocent look which remind me of really bad romance novels that I'd never read.

The ML was okay. I really liked his character, but again he was somewhat cliche. I think I liked him best after he regained his memory, that was when the plot started to get somewhat good and all the characters are shown to develop. But this takes place much later in the drama.

I thought the ML's mother would be the typical rich mother in these 'Rich Man/ Poor Woman' dramas, but she was actually okay. The best part of this drama is probably her relationship with her grandson, it was adorable. The ML's relationship with his son was also really cute, but they didn't have as many scenes together as I would have liked.
