What an excellent conservative romcom! I always love a romcom when the side stories doesn't overpower the main story. This show keeps the focus on the two main leads, it's all about their struggles, fails and get backs again. The early episodes are a bit slot. Still, they depicts the characters well as they all have a lot of struggles. No unnecessary plots needed here. No need serial killers or truck of doom; it's all about living your life and never giving up on your dreams. The mixture between romance and comedy is really well-balanced for me.
The casts are all great, and quite premium if I may say. They even made Choi Woo Sik as a guest. However, what an outstanding performance from Kim Ji Won. She was really really impressive here, her pain, sadness, joy and silliness, she eat them all. Nothing can replace her iconic aegyo, and I've never thought she could pull something like that. Also Park Seo Joon expression everytime she did it was really hilarious. His performance here was even better than him in WWWSK.
Still, there are something bothering me about this show. I really don't like that SML reconciled with SFL, she really deserved better. Even though Joo Man did everything for the sake of "reminding him of her", I don't think it's tolerable. He should've shove Ye Jin away from the beginning, he failed to create a boundary. Also he was soo self-absorbed and all he was thinking was about his pride and pride. Seol Hui was totally a better person, too good for him. Aside from that, I don't think Park Hye Ran got a proper closure. Where did she go when she had no money and rejected by everyone? She also had never fix her relationship with Dong Man.
On top of all, this show is quite lightweight and easy to enjoy!
