STAYED TRUE TO ITS GENRE AS LIGHT ROMCOM THAT WILL MAKE YOU NOSTALGIC!
-Despite the clichés, SE still has their own flavor on how they will make those scenes entertaining and refreshing to watch. I enjoyed every second of it because it's well-executed.
- The chemistry, dynamic, and acting synergy of the leads (Sohyun x Jonghyeop) is so amazing and so is how this drama really knows how to build up the tension and highlight their moments when they're together or even not physically together. Both in silly situations and heart pounding romantic encounters!
- Loved how they also showcased both POVs of the FL & ML (the high school flashback scenes which also perfectly blends well right into the storyline).
-The pacing or flow is not instantaneous nor slow, imposed, and fast. It's on right track. No room for filler scenes.
- I really dig in the use of metaphors in the dialogues and the over-all screenplay so much. So many quotable quotes to keep.
- OSTs are so tuneful, catchy, and really sets a romantic mood. It's the kind of drama soundtrack that you already love at first listen. Some of them even made me reminiscent of the classic K-drama OSTs that I miss.
- Unlike before which are abundant, the chances of me now finding heartwarming musical scoring in romantic comedy genre K-dramas is thin on the ground so I'm glad how the sound design department also put an effort to it.
- It truly warms my heart for how this light romcom drama still managed to make me feel genuine things like being inspired in so many aspects of life may it be love, family, friendship, and dreams. And the fact that both Hongju and Hooyoung also share the same dream as an animation director! *squeels*
- Wish there were longer episodes tho maybe extend up to 12 episodes just to see a glimpse of Hongju and Hooyoung's travel escapade in San Francisco and their happy marriage life!
PS. We need SPs (Special episodes) for this one!

Scrolling down the X/Twitter platform....have you ever seen such a composition of words for the first time, yet it made such magnificent sense? It's as if it perfectly encapsulated the very description of 'soulmates' between Hongju and Hooyoung that you've been waiting your whole life to digest???
