I forced myself to complete this drama purely because I am a big fan of Park Bo Young and Park Hyungsik. This was a very poor amalgamation of various genres. I made great use of 10 sec skip while watching this.

FUCKING AMAZING SHOW. BYEONG TAE MY BABY 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 DID SUCH A GREAT JOB. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. HE PROTECTS THE WEAK AND HIS LOVED ONES. WHILE JGT PREYED UPON THE WEAK.
Ngl, I cried a lot during the 6th episode. A lot. I couldn't help but feel incredibly bad for Jang Byung Tae.…
There are much better ways to deal w someone who stole your identity than going after someone they like and physically and emotionally harassing them to the point that they are manipulated into almost m*rdering their best friend. I'm in no way condoning what Byung Tae did. But I pity him. It must have been so hard for him. Gyeong Tae is such a fucker cuz he comes from a problematic household, innit? And yet, he had the audacity to embarrass somebody else? I wish absolute worse for him. i hope he's guilt stricken for life. On a side note, i love the casting. Splendid actors, marvelous performance!
Ngl, I cried a lot during the 6th episode. A lot. I couldn't help but feel incredibly bad for Jang Byung Tae. No doubt, he engaged in identity theft for a Lil while, but given his backstory, it is excusable, ig. He's been the neighborhood punch bag all the time. His only friend was right. Things were better when he was the white tiger. He wasn't violent. He didn't rob other kids of their money all the time. I hate Jang Gyeong Tae with such great intensity. I was also taken aback and livid when Jan Byung Tae brutally hit two of his classmates, one of them was literally his closest friend. And i cried so hard during the hospital scene. goshm what a roller coaster
The male lead is an epitome of green flag. He was absolutely head over heels for the female lead. This is something I could watch over a hundred times, yet not be tired of it. It offers, a bunch of swoon-worthy moments. Also, I'm glad they gave us a glimpse of their lives after having a baby.
How could she refer to Eros and Psyche as just a one-night stand? 😭😭
Lol, I get it. I came across their story through one of Rick Riordan's books. It intrigued me, so I delved into it. Calling it a one night stand robs it off of its depth and character. she was just venting, ig 😭
There was a lack of chemistry between the ML and FL or maybe I didn't sense it because of the lack of much needed romantic scenes between them. It felt rather flat and bland. Byeon woo seok killed his role tho. He carried the show. I barely understood the last episode, maybe i should watch it again? I was eagerly looking forward to a babygirl towards the end, but in vain.
