I really really wanted to love this drama

every time I try to finish this drama I get bored midway, I drop it, then i rewatch it again from the beginning!
it's been so many years lol

and the reason is Ah Ro (the fl)
she's a depressing character and her dialogue is repetitive, her face is constantly grumpy and she talks to herself a lot! at first it was kinda cute but too much it became a bit annoying.

I don't even understand how she fell for Sun Woo, she had more romantic scenes with Ji Dwi and literally none (in the first half) with Sun Woo like just the other day he was her brother
make it make sense lol

straight after that we get her confession scene,, oh boy it was comedy
like the guy is dying with no pulse, she proceeds to do cpr then dumps in her ted talk confession
girl where did ur acupuncture/first aid skills as a doctor assistant disappear?? or at least go get help! lol
but nooo he suddenly wakes up and kisses her then faints again! pahaha! (guys this was a serious scene)

when we get a confession smack bang in the middle, it doesn't leave much for the imagination, the story becomes predictable and the 2nd ml is there as a sorry case.

I've been trying to give this drama so many chances bcz I like the whole cast.
they focused way too much on selecting the cast but didn't think of the plot.
it's a shame bcz we have the best guys and all we get is some lackluster main couple romance. the side characters' romance was actually cute.

I really liked the OSTs especially Hyolyn's Our Tears
I love that OST but my critic for the music
is that they over used it! almost like a sitcom! otherwise it would've been at least 9/10

maybe in the future I'll pick it up from the middle and speed play it, but for now it's not worth it
