May their future be just as bright as beautiful memories they share.

My darling Kim Da Mi is back with yet another challenging role. In the beginning, I added this drama to my list purely because of her. If it were any other actress, I wouldn't have found anything about this drama to be as exciting.

Initially, I wasn't planning to watch while it was ongoing and wanted to wait until all the episodes were out, to save myself some heartache that I believe this drama is likely to serve, but I couldn't stop myself from watching it now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is impossible to not adore the relationship between Ko Yeong Rye and Seo Jong Hui. Them supporting each other is what i want to see for the entirety of this drama.

Yeong Rye's crush on the guy is understandable especially since he showed up like a superhero to save her so many times already. But on his end, that's all it is to him. He eyes are on Jong Hui and I can't blame him. You like who you like, things cannot be forced. As much as I hate to see Yeong Rye hurting, I am glad that she has a good head on her shoulder and wants things to work our for Jong Hui.

I can't blame Han Jae Pil for liking Jong Hui for another set of reasons, to have someone understand what's going on and stand up for him at a very vulnerable time, who could resist that? Jong Hui seems to be running from a past that haunting her, so her liking him back also makes sense. I feel the time is right for them.

Aiyo! That timeskip was completely not what I was expecting. I don't like the direction this is venturing in, I liked the past story.
I don't want them to skip so much and give us the leads in love. Whatever happened to the journey. (yeah yeah, i am being impatient.)

Just finished episode 8, well the timeskip is not that bad. The besties are back together without much heartache. I'm hoping that Jong Hui ends up with Yeong Sik, because he seemed to be waiting for her. And for dear Yeong Rye, I'm leaning more towards Jeong Hyeon than Jae Pil. Because everyone apart from his mother thinks Jae Pil is out of her league. There's just something about Jeong Hyeon that despite his childishness wants to make me root for him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At first I thought that Jong Hui was being a bit selfish deciding to push herself in between people who have some feelings for each other. But then again, if Jae Pil keeps wavering between the two, is he even worth the hassle. I also forgot that both Yeong Rye and Jong Hui have each taken a step back from their feelings for Jae Pil when they realized that the other liked him too. First it was Yeong Rye swallowing up her one-sided feelings and then it was Jong Hui breaking up with him. I do admit that I was rooting for Yeong Rye to end up with Jeong Hyeon because he seemed like a better choice. What I was afraid of did happen, this is replay of Itaewon class, Kim Dami's character being besotted with the male lead to have him treat like a option for years only to suddenly realize that he loved her all along. Finally, Jong Hui spoke her mind, no matter how she felt, she needed to talk to Yeong Rye about it long time ago instead of bottling it up. Here's to hoping that this drama doesn't end in a tragedy. (I am afraid coz her brother is on loose along with the man she stabbed.)

Was I the only one who didn't like the final episode at all? I almost wish it had ended in a tragedy.
