I initially intended to give this show a solid 9 out of 10 because I genuinely enjoyed it. However, as the series progressed, certain plot developments felt unnecessary and poorly executed. In particular, the sudden introduction of her having a brother seemed random and rushed. It was difficult to believe that an entire family could go years without mentioning or acknowledging a child, even considering the explanation that she had forgotten. The idea that no one in the family reflected on their son or held any form of memorial for his death felt unrealistic, and that storyline ultimately took me out of the experience. After episode twelve, it began to feel as though new plot points were being added simply to fill time and create an ending, rather than to naturally develop the story.
That said, there were aspects of the show that I truly appreciated. I loved that the main couple did not break up despite the male lead dealing with trauma related to his mother. In many K-dramas, relationships fall apart when characters face emotional stress or traumatic events, so it was refreshing to see him find comfort and support in her instead. That choice added emotional depth to their relationship and was one of my favorite parts of the series.
