Sweet and short
This is the show that I have been looking for this whole time. It has everything: a strong female lead with a soul, a supportive and warm male lead, humor, and cute scenes. You won't find any cringy or iffy moments.
CHARACTERS
All the characters are very realistic and diverse. Some might say that a few of them are over the top, but in my opinion, keep it in the believable zone. I especially enjoyed the backstories. They're a bit cliché; however, they make so much sense. Moreover, they're not just told to be told; they help the plot progress. We can see characters grow and bloom. What helps this development is communication. Something unheard of in most dramas. All characters act consistently and logically.
PLOT
Their love story is cute and mature. I loved every moment, even the clichés. The warmth it gives off, mixed with a bit of sadness and resolution to overcome all the problems, is just addictive. The biggest strength of this plot is how realistic it is. It's a story that might've happened. I didn't catch any plot holes nor see major problems in characters behavior that weren't pointed out in the show (eg. mental abuse). Every conflict and misunderstanding presented made sense. Not to mention the ending was pure perfection.
I don't have much to say about the technical side, as I never gave it much thought. So I'll keep it simple: great acting, enjoyable music, and pretty sets/shots.
I highly recommend it to every person that likes mature and romantic dramas.
My favorites for reference: Because This Is My First Life, When The Weather Is Fine, A Tale Of Thousand Stars.
Dislikes: Lovely Runner, Uncontrollably Fond, Fish Upon The Sky
