I'm on episode 12 and aside from the stunning visuals and amazing OST, it makes me happy that this show was like a mini reunion of MJTY cast!

Thank you!

Personally, it is worth watching. This is something that will allow you to experience a range of emotions and make you appreciate not just the main characters.

It has a happy ending.

Sad or happy ending?

Got it. Thank you!

How is the pacing? Also, I understand that this is a slice of life, but how's the romance so far?

HELP! I squealed a little even if I do not know the context of the scene.

Ok, fine! I'm sold! I'm 100% gonna watch this as soon I'm done with all of the series I'm currently watching haha! Thank you ma'am!

I appreciate your reply! Thank you. This helped me managed my expectations as I'm currently binging on romance series for now.

I'll definitely watch this. And I'm glad it has a happy ending!

I definitely trust MDL's reviews--others are rather quite harsh (with the bar set so unrealistically high) while some others are a bit unreliable, so I personally think MDL is the best place to go for ratings. For this drama, I needed to know some things sans the spoilers.

With this, I appreciate you for taking time to post this detailed response and review. This is EXTREMELY helpful.

I'm currently binging on historical romance, so your review just helped me managed my expectations (I currently want the butterflies in my stomach to linger for a bit more lol so I'm on the lookout for more historical fluff).

But I am definitely, 100% watching this and looking forward to how the plot will unfold. I love it when the characters' depth is explored and written properly. I have now high expectations of this drama thanks to you! :)

Thank you for letting me know about the extra episode as well. I would've missed this if you did not mention it!

I have this on my list, but there are some few things I'd like to check: how's the romance? is it just a subplot/minimal? will there be a sad ending?

I'm hoping to get answers without spoilers~
