That was a big waste of time

(6/10) Story: Maybe this story wouldn’t have fit into a typical 90–120-minute film; however, 46 episodes were completely unnecessary. There was excessive screen time for side characters, especially the second female lead, who sometimes took up 90% of an episode. I’m all for developing characters beyond the leads, but in most cases, there was no real development. And when there was development, another misunderstanding or miscommunication would undo any progress.

I think this could have been a 16-episode drama. I’d compare it to My Sunshine (2015), which had an extremely similar storyline but managed to tell it in 32 episodes. The only thing that kept me watching was the fact that there was nothing better airing at the time.

(10/10) Cast: I was so happy when the cast was revealed. Seeing Hans Zhang and Janine Chang reunite was awesome. The last drama I've seen with them as co-leads was The Four (2015). How unfortunate because I gave The Four a 9/10 rating but this drama was a disappointment, though it isn't the actors' fault.

(10/10) Music: Not something I really noticed or cared about. I don't think the music would bother anyone though.

(1/10) Rewatch Value: Totally not worth spending 46 hours on. Even if there is nothing to watch, this was too frustrating. But it did give me something to waste my time on which is why the overall score I've given is a 6.
