Both ML and FL are an extension of Choi Woong and Kook Yeon Soo from Our Beloved Summer. You certainly feel the resemblance in the earlier part of drama. Second lead couple is the antithesis of Our Beloved Summer.
Certainly first half of the drama was lighter and fun to watch. It was a decent drama overall but I don't see any rewatch value in this drama.
I didn't feel that second half was boring or random. I quite liked the fact that they didn't overdo the dating show portion. For odd reason, second half kept reminding me about Be melodramatic even though the story line has not much in common.
The low rating could be attributed to the fact of misleading title. They should have gone with a different title to portray that family and happiness doesn't always have to be the usual thing we all relate it too. I didn't like the fact that they brushed aside struggles of the younger child in 10 minutes flat. I also didn't like the fact of how the mother kicked out the daughter. In real life, the daughter would obviously think that the mother choose ex husband over her after all she has done.
But even with few other annoyances, it is ultimately a drama about reconciliation and everyone finding their own ways to happiness.
After more than a decade I had decided to watch an airing drama and I am glad that I did.
Irrespective of what others think, this is the Romcom of the year! Everything felt right. Ofcourse people will say that drama brushed aside many things but I am glad they did and kept mood of the drama light. Ofcourse I would liked them to not shoehorn that plot during final episodes, but I am willing to overlook it as the drama kept me smiling like a fool till the literal end.
OST was perfect. Casting was perfect. Weak and forgettable second leads. Flashback scenes neatly progressed the story. Rather than dragging story till 16 episodes, everything wrapped up well in 12 episodes.
Final rating 9.5/10. Definitely rewatching this in future.
It was just 3 eps from 27-30 and I think they couldn't spread it out because of Song Han's hidden identity that…
Love story of Song Han can still be done in the initial part of the drama regardless of his hidden identity. You can always add few scenes later to let the viewers know his motive.
Side characters taking too much screentime near the finale is anti climatic.
It was bit long and could have easily cut 4 episodes. First half was great but MLs brother and the couple had too much screentime over the last portion. If they wanted to have that storyline, then they should have spread their story across the drama rather than having them occupying so much screentime at the last.
It's neither a comedy nor a full-fledged healing drama. It tries a bit of everything but ends up being nothing. It's not a bad drama but a very forgettable drama. You are not missing anything if you just watch a longer YouTube edit of this drama instead of sitting through 12 episodes. I am giving 0.5 points extra because I liked a few aspects of last episode.
This drama is lot better than 7.6 rating. I disagree with the point that drama changed direction for the last part. Suspense was always the part of this drama from start. The ending was little dramatic and the weakest link of this are the second leads.
Nevertheless an enjoyable drama. Rating it 8/10
The thing which irritated me most was having no distinction between the concept of branding, marketing and product development.
I usually do not watch remakes as I don't see the point in watching same story twice with different actors. When I had finished watching Go ahead, I had decided to never watch the remake.
But when this drama was airing, I kept seeing spoilers on my timeline and realised this drama is not a remake but a romcom. While I can still write atleast two paragraphs stating the differences between both the dramas, as soon as I watched the first episode of this, I realised my initial assumption was correct and this drama has nothing much to do with Go ahead apart from the initial setup.
This was an enjoyable drama from start to finish. First half is really carried by the sunshine FL. 2ML shines in the second half. I really liked the improved dynamics and the relationship of two fathers with eachother. Unlike other dramas where second couple are just for cute factor, I liked the fact how they helped eachother throughout the drama. Last episode does the perfect job of closing out everything.
There are always drama that you can nitpick, find issues with scripts, inconsistencies, illogical behaviour by characters, life changing things being brushed aside in minutes, too many episodes dragging you to boredom. All of these things apply to this drama as well.
But, I like dramas that make me smile. Main couple made me smile and I genuinely enjoyed the feel of a drama after a long time. FL nailed her role and without doubt the highlight of this drama. The OST complimented the drama very well. The main OST was played like 100 times in this drama but it didn't annoy me like it did in Something In The Rain. On the contrary, I liked it.
The best part of this drama is the final segment and it really leaves you with a genuine smile. Guess they cracked the 'Smile Code' of how to end a Romcom. I am going to remember the ending for a long time.
