I wanted to love this more but could not.

The leads had great chemistry I wanted to see more of them maturing into their roles and into their relationship. Instead, there were fillers of so many other couples and stories that was unnecessary. The best friend of the male lead and Pan I was fine with them, I enjoyed them on screen. The relationship with the parents and son I enjoyed. The ex-husband and best friend's romance went on way too long, the mother and father bickering went on too long for me also, the sister of the FL, the professor etc. wayyyyy too much screen time for that group. I ended up fast forwarding in many areas due to these relationships lacking strength or interest to the show and realized that I didn't even miss anything critical or of value to the characters. The show dragged and it could have been done in less scenes. Hated the advice the mom gave about the son not matching the FL, what a way to tell someone they are not good enough or the person they like is out of their league and to give up, that part hurt a bit. The end no kiss, a hug, not after all my precious hours of watching till 1am and I have work; it drove me to come here and comment. There was a great opportunity to make this a better show, and it just became OK; instead of great, fantastic, lets add this to top 10 list, let me tell a friend they have to watch. I will keep this one to myself.
