It captivated me from the start. It's such a beautiful story and a very deep journey for the main characters and they take us with them until the end.
I really enjoyed watching this one.
Obviously it hits you hard on the feels, you might get sad, angry, cry, laugh, cringe and also feel the lovely moments they show us on screen. But in the end it's so worth to watch!
i felt a bit sad when i finished watching this, i wanted more for the main characters and i was also a bit taken aback with how they wrapped the story BUT i still loved it very much and it made sense the way they did it and why it happened. (even tho i'm still sad to think about it, this drama is still one of my absolute favs :D).
The story is great, the music really helps to take you there, the costumes and the set are superb, for those who enjoy dramas in another era and time will like this show for sure :D
It's slow on advancing the story line and to show how the characters evolve but i actually liked that slow progression, the slow burn of how it all connected at the end, the journey, the struggle of it all.
The actors in it were great, good acting, great chemistry and it had it's cute and funny moments too.
Well if you are not a fan of dramas with a story set on another time and era your rewatch value might be zero and you will only watch this once if you get curious enough. But for me and all other drama fans, this show its quite unique and when my heart misses it dearly, i will for sure come back to watch it again :D

I loved the story, was well written and it was so much fun to watch and i must confess if they had another ending in mind than the one they actually gave to the show, it would have ruined the whole thing for me and made it impossible to even like the drama. Thankfully they gave it a proper ending so i’m happy about that :D
Great actors in this one, nice chemistry, very funny and light to watch, the female lead was awesome, she did an amazing job and she is such a charismatic actress! It was my first time seeing her acting on a drama and i really liked her versatility, she is just like a mood every single time i see her haha love it! Her male co star was also spot on and he is such a treat for sore eyes too XD
Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad review, i really liked the drama and i quite enjoyed watching it. It actually makes you think about life and what is beyond us and how tiny we are in this big universe filled with stars. This drama touched me but not in the way i hoped it would? It's weird to even try to explain it XD
What i meant with my comment was that it lacked that memorable factor to keep me attached to the story and characters to a deeper level. It was romantic and funny, yes it was, it warmed my heart but on the other hand some things were a bit off too.
I still strongly recomend it tho. Watch it because you will like it and spend a good time watching it :D

I liked the story but as it goes on and they start to go deeper it kinda gets all over the place and loses the grip on viewers.
The main couple were good on what they had to work with but honestly i didn’t feel a strong spark between them, was more of a strong friendship than 2 people who fall in love and can't live without the other.
I dunno, maybe i’m being picky but to me there was something missing between them, no passion in their eyes when they were together and looking at each other and even in the romantic scenes i didn’t felt that spark, that little itch that tells you WOW i wanted to be in her shoes right now!
Like i said, they had such a good thing going on, a really interesting story but then it lacked character development and growth and the most important thing for me the lack of consistency.
And when telling a love story, the small details count a lot, how they touch each other, how they stare into each other eyes and a well acted kiss too (i’m not even gonna mention skinship because that is not the most important thing here) but those things all together make up the chemistry between the actors and make the scenes look more “real” and natural, it's what makes you feel butterflies in the bottom of your stomach but sadly i have to say i didn’t feel them in this drama.
Aside that, it is still a good drama to watch and it had great potencial to be something trully epic and whoosh away the audience.
I do still recomend it, watch it because it has good watch value and the actors did a good job in keeping the boat afloat.

So much misconception about this series!
Let me just start by saying this: after so many weird tropes and stories that get lost, toxic characters and leads with no soul or chemistry...allow me to say this series is so heartwarming!I had read a lot of comments of people that could not enjoy the show because they could not get over that one tiny fact of the main plot.
The story is not bad, it's actually wonderful, funny and well delivered. The actors did an amazing job, chemistry was top notch, great soundtrack and smooth skinship.
People just need to take a leap of faith, have an open mind and actually watch the whole thing and enjoy the ride.
A solid 9/10 and a good watch!!

I loved both actors playing the lead couple, off the charts chemistry, they really played well their part as 2 people who fall in love and behave like a real couple, such natural scenes they had together, they were so cute and loving with one another (and i’m including all the scenes, all the small gestures, the looks, the hugs, the small smiles, flirting and also the well done kisses and skinship, even tho they did those with excellency i might add, the rest was also very important to me and the hot scenes were a plus!) and the way they shot the scenes were very good too, i felt like i was invading they privacy and peeking through the keyhole the whole time XD was that good!
Kudos for both actors and the crew and directors for making such good scenes.
The story isn’t exactly something new, the typical guy falls the girl kind of thing, even tho this time the guy is a few years younger than the female lead and he is the younger brother of her best friend so if nothing it's a complicated thing from the start because people still have prejudice for those relationships between younger/older people falling in love and being seen together.
I honestly don’t see any kind of problem or issues with it but maybe i’m too open minded about it?
I mean love is love, they are both adults so what's the problem if they want to love each other and be together for life? It's their business and people need to learn how to look to their own noses and not other peoples lives but anyway...
All the problems they encounter with their relationship are caused by others, it makes them waver if what they are doing is right or wrong because people are judging them and pointing fingers.
They tend to be afraid of showing the other person how much they love them and that they matter the most, they feel themselves like a mouse in a trap with no one to help or support them, with no way out or room for happiness unless it's on everybody elses terms.
And that really pissed me off, because people just want to control other peoples lives and it ticks me off in such a way i really tend to be agressive towards people that act so high and mighty all the time, like they know better than everyone else and that only what they say is law.
It really gave me an itch to just slap some sense into them so badly it made me cry so hard.
I could relate so much with this couple that i felt bad for days after watching it, i felt so sad and angry at the same time and i even cried my heart out for them T_T
Don’t get me wrong, i loved this drama and i had already prepared my heart for the bad ending but i was surprised in the end :) Thank the gods!

It shows the hardships of a girl who was born so to speak with an "ugly" face and goes through a lot of hardships growing up and in her school life. So when she thinks to herself that enough is enough and that she doesn’t want to suffer anymore she tries to commit suicide but a woman passing by stops her and with a few kind words she convinces her not to do it.
After that she gains a bit of courage and with the help of her mother, she decides to schedule a plastic surgery to her face before entering her new university life (all this behind her fathers back) and with her mother being super supportive and i really loved it,
It's a very sensitive subject and people are quick to judge and point fingers, once they know or notice that you did plastic surgery of any kind. People shame those who do it to get “artificial beauty” and that's why there's a saying about gangnam beauty being equal to plastic beauty, it's not a compliment but a slang word to shame that person saying you got plastic surgery to look pretty, you don't deserve to be pretty or to even be on the same level as those born with natural beautiful features. (bunch of BS and it totally triggered me to think that there are people like that for real in the world who take pleasure in shaming others for whatever reason, just to make themselves feel better....ugh...makes me so angry...)
Either way, the story is great and the actors did an amazing job, they look comfortable together and make the scenes light and funny and even in the serious ones, they are very well done, there are so many life lessons to take off from this show that it really warmed my heart to watch it.
At some point you end up hating some of the characters ( some were really annoying to me and i just wanted to slap some sense into those lost souls -.-") but that just shows that they did a great job.
Really a must watch on my book. <3
I have to confess, i got a 2nd male lead syndrome with this one because i think the actor who played him is so handsome and sweet you cant help but to fall for him, omg i was really sad for the guy that i wanted to take him home with me XD
Even tho there’s not a lot i would like to point out in this drama, there was just one thing that bugged me a little bit, and since i was talking about the 2nd male lead, i just got the feeling that in all the scenes they did together, the female lead had more chemistry with the 2nd guy than with the male lead, to me it felt more natural so to speak.
Don’t take me wrong, i loved the main couple scenes together but there were some scenes that looked a little bit stiff, i dunno how to explain it.
Maybe because of the director/writter and the way his character persoanlity was written because i did noticed that the male lead is super shy and an introvert (not very social at all unless is really necessary, not many friends except to one or 2 real close, a guy of few words and a lot of feelings bottled inside but on the good side, he is a guy that knows what he wants and goes after it! loved it :D) so that might the reason behind it.
But over all, it's such a sweet drama to watch :D

I honestly enjoyed it very much, was light, funny, comic, amusing, romantic, sad, sexy and deep thoughts about family and love. It had a lot of good things going on and they were able to tell a good story, with a good balance.
Some things were not exactly necessary, some scenes or actions of the characters but i guess they made sense in the writers head so i’m not gonna argue with that. The cast was great to watch, they did an amazing job, the female lead was very well chosen, she’s such a cutie, i fell in love with her at first sight :) She’s so pretty and those eyes...i mean who wouldn’t fall for her?
All the male co stars were very good too, such a handsome and fun bunch of guys. The characters evolve as the story unravels and their bonds go deeper, both for family and love. I mean that family has some deep issues that need to be fixed ASAP and her coming into their lives actually helped to give that extra push for them to be closer as a family.
It's enjoyable and has comedy and romance in equal measures, they give spotlight to some sensitive matters but treat them with actual respect so it was a plus for me to watch that.
(THIS IS NOT A SPOILER because i am not telling the whole scene and just a tiny bit, an action that was actually hillarious to me so proceed reading at your own risk XD)
There’s this one scene i think it’s just genius and kudos to the writer for that one, when they are both so drunk and alone that their true feelings start to surface, they are super funny omfg i can’t even explain how good that scene was for me XD the way he just says to her “saranghaeyo” while being that drunk and she replies “shut up” and "take a hike" ditching him straight up, it’s just priceless! <3

I try to keep and open mind and go without any expectation at all and most of the times, i end up being surprised in so many good ways :D (some bad too but that doesnt happen very often lol)
This drama was a nice surprise. It has major flaws, yes and it could have been a much bigger and better show. BUT they still did an amazing job within this subject. I have seen other similar dramas and this one was way better to watch for me.
To my understanding, the main couple of the story was the female lead DaDa and her ex and the robot was the 2nd male lead and that psyco bish the 2nd female lead who is only in the drama to make me cringe a lot??!? XDDDD
Either way even if i'm wrong let's just go with it and wing it anyway XD
People say they felt no chemistry between the female lead and the robot....i mean, seriously? Are you blind?
They have complex characters and i actually think they did a great job acting them.
The female lead is such a conflicted soul, i could relate to her, giving away all your life to someone for years, your unconditional love and even tho he loved her too (she still loved him more and sacrificed even more for him too) he didn't apreciate what he had until she decided it was enough, that she was no longer happy being the one loving for 2 and not getting as much commitment from his part. I know her ex had some reasons to act the way he did and to how he thought by doing such things he was protecting her but in the end he was protecting his career and himself more than actually thinking about her feelings on the long run. I could smell disaster from a mile away and sadly it's what happens. But then she found solice in another lost soul like her (the robot guy) and they both unlocked things on each other, they became more human while sharing life's hardships and daily struggles. She became stronger and a better person because of him and he also became more human because of her kindness and because she treated him as an equal, a person.
The actor that plays the robot really did a good job, i actually fell in love with his character little by little as he himself discovered the world around him, what he was capable of within his program and off of it, what he could become and how he showed more sympathy and emotions than his fellow humans. The journey he goes through to become human so to speak it's hard and sad but at the same time beautiful. His program and design was to be a love bot, a toy to be used and discarted after but in the end he became so much more, thanks to her!
And his maker, who was such a silly goofball but such a kind hearted guy, loved his pairing with the manager too, such cuties XD
And lets not even get started with that Diana character because i wanted to murder her every single time i layed eyes on her XD I felt some sympathy for her at one time or another but my god, she got on my nerves so badly!! lol
What i'm trying to say after all this, is that i was actually on the edge of my seat rooting for the conflicted girl and the lonely robot the entire show! I shipped them so hard you guys won't even believe. I was actually starting to be upset just considering that they might not even end up together at the end or be together at all. I was devastated. I really liked the idea of them as a couple, they were a match and they were better together, as humans, as persons and as 2 pieces of the same puzzle. I wanted them together and couldn't care less about her ex or that psyco girl, all i cared about was for my babies to be given a chance to be human, to be seen as an equal, as a person who is capable of helping others, of finding love and to be able to live a happy life. So i ended up fully invested in this drama even tho i had no kind of expectations for it XD
Not many dramas do that for me nowadays, so it was a good one for me to watch and i recomend it.
You might like it or not, depends on your tastes and what you like to watch.
But it's so underrated in my opinion.

I never cried so much in a drama before and i still loved it to bits, flaws and all. This drama hits you 100% in the feels!
It has such a strong message and a true love story. I'm always a sucker for a good love story that you can relate and find a piece of you in it and this one really caught my heart good.
It's a drama that goes around a very deep and sad background story but i liked the way they did it, how they performed to really make us empathise with the main characters and feel the pain they went through,
I felt super attached to them by the end. I experienced every emotin deeply in this drama and i cried my eyes out too T_T
Would recomend everyone to watch it and give it a chance, it's so worth to watch!
And also watch it with a friend because you will need a lot of tissues and confort too XD
But you will love this drama by the end of it!

My favourite drama of all time, for sure!
I cannot say when was the last time i saw a drama like this and fell in love with it from the beginning to the end, was so well done.
The chemistry between the actors is always there, between all of them and kudos for the main couple, even tho the female lead is younger than her male lead co star and has less experience, she was sooo good at it, i mean she has such potential she can mesmerize you with just one look, her eyes spoke in every scene with such emotion it gave me chills. I loved it!
The male lead is also fantastic, he has way more experience of course and many acting skills under his belt already but he still surprised me on how good and natural his acting is and he was so good with his younger female co star, they worked very well together. He is such a handsome cute bear :D i just wanted to hug him all the time and wished i was in her shoes XD (shame on me i know lol but i really couldn’t help it, i fell in love with him and her <3)
The story itself develops at a nice pace, i have no complaints what so ever and the whole production and special effects were through the roof on this one as well, major skills there and a great investment on the directors and writters part, i as a viewer was both delighted and honored to be able to see it and enjoy this drama so much :)
The characters grow as the story goes as well, it deals with a lot of issues between life and death, pain and betrayal but also has a kind and comic side to it, some funny and heart warming moments to balance the mood set through the story and it's really well done, as to not always be sad and heavy, nor is it too bubbly and happy all the time. A good and perfect balance between the 2.
It's a love story, a very deep one no less but it ends up also being so much more at the end of the day. It pans out into so many branches and possibilities, as we see the characters lives get mixed up together, all the problems and obstacles that show up and mess up their peace of mind.
I got hooked up with this drama from day one and i couldn’t stop myself from doing a marathon with all the episodes until i finished. I was just so drawn into the story and the main couple i couldn’t look away, i always wanted more, i wanted to know what was gonna happen next, with all of them.
I laughed, i got second hand embarassment, i giggled like a crazy girl fangirling about something cute, i actually got excited to get a decent kiss and some real intimate demonstration for affection from the main couple, i was surprised and shocked with some revelations, all the joy and sadness, i cried my eyes out so bad for the whole thing, i felt the love and it warmed my heart deeply, it was really a roller coaster of emotions for me.
When i ended watching it i was no longer the same person and i loved this drama for it.
(Just a side note, i mean i know that they were portraying a big age difference between the main leads and they wanted to keep it pure and innocent until she “officially” was an adult in the story but c’mon, i’ve seen younger actors and people do way worse things on tv shows when they are playing love scenes - and i’m leaving the skinship out of this conversation ok?- but a good and normal passionate kiss wont kill or steal someones innocence for gods sake. What goes on in these peoples minds completely amazes me and not in a good way. I mean people in love they kiss, they hug, it's not like i’m asking them to get naked and have some more steamy moments but a bit more intimacy like all couples have. I guess another reason was also the judgement from the korean viewers, people often discriminate about these things and public demonstrations of affection as well. It gets me triggered a bit i mean, its just a kiss or a hug, if you want to show someone you love them, even in public, there shouldn’t be any judgement, its not like they are committing a crime for fricking sake. Geshhh people, you see worse things on the streets everyday and you don’t judge as much, go figure T_T I’ll stop ranting now, sorry XD)
My heart was never the same after watching it. It raised way high my stakes on dramas to a whole new level and i’m afraid nothing coming after it can even begin to compare.
I highly recomend it and to watch it a milion times over and over, until your heart and soul are both content XD

I loved everything about this drama, was so new to me, so refreshing, the story was good, the actors were on point with the acting, it was super funny and engaging in every single episode!
No other drama did that to me ever before!
It's a must watch on my list and one of my absolute favourites!
Everyone must watch it and laugh all their troubles away XD
It's such a feel good vibe kind of drama, the comedy was superb and there were so many funny scenes i laughed my butt off and will never forget about for as long as i live. It's a gem that needs to be protected and imortalized forever.
Every episode has a purpose and every thing they do is important for the story and to give information on all the characters, there are a lot of them XD It's a school filled with rebelious boys after all and a lost girl in the middle of it all XD
I'm actually out of words to explain how good this drama is without giving away major spoilers because i want you guys to watch it and be mesmerized and shocked as i was when i watched it lol
Some scenes will forever be burned in your memory and you will never get rid of them for as long as you live, trust me on this XD
IT IS REALLY THAT GOOD!
At least for me it was and it still is pure gold!

It was quite refreshing and interesting to watch. Loved the main couple, great chemistry together and the story is very well done. This show focus mainly on the hardships and realities we have to face while falling in love, starting a new relationship, old loves, heartbreaks, how to love someone and working together to maintain the relationship going while also facing all of life problems.
It is also very deep on the love portrayed by the 3 couples and how love can also be a choice in life, a dream you want to grab with both hands but it’s not something that it’s easy to find nor easy to get.
“Winning someone’s heart is not a game, it’s something that naturally happens over time”
This script line really touched my feels on the right spot.
Who doesn’t want to be loved and find true love?
To be loved and missed so deeply that just the idea of living our days without that person makes us sad?
This show really made me feel a lot of things. Nostalgia, longing for a true love, to be missed and loved by the person we love the most, to be that special person in someone’s life...it gave my mind a lot to think about love, life, what we do for those we love and for ourselves and our dreams in life. And that’s why i loved it :)
Everyone can fall in love and find love if you just open your heart.
And at some point you will find someone who will take your heart and love you for who you are.
All you have to do is try.
A must watch for sure! <3

It has a very good story and they deliver it as it develops, the characters both grow nicely as they interact with one another and the actors chosen to play the roles were picked nicely, they are great together and have awesome chemistry.
Its such a joy to see good characters in a drama like this, my fav one is the house caretaker, she is just superb!
And the actress playing her is so so good, i loved everything about her, she did such a good job and her acting was flawless! She was my hero and i loved her to bits!
The story focus around the female lead who starts off as a 17 year old girl who is a fun and loving person, with a kind heart who has her whole life ahead of her as a talented violinist.
Until one day she has an accident and sadly falls into a coma. After that her family struggles a lot and she is left alone in that hospital bed. She stays in a coma for a long long time and later on wakes up to see a strangers face in the mirror. She is now a 30 year old woman...
Obviously its a great shock to her, she “fell a sleep” as a 17 year old and now “wakes up” as a 30 year old woman, i mean wouldn’t you be frozen in place and shocked to the core with a revelation like that?
I cant even begin to imagine what that would feel like :/
But as time goes by events start to happen and she ends up meeting the male lead and things start to change for the better. Things get pretty fun and heartwarming from then on and the story is quite amusing and you can't help but to fall in love with the main couple.
Its such an amazing love story between them and it makes this drama so good to watch.
It was actually refreshing to see such a well made drama with such a great and well acted story.
Absolutely worth to watch!
And you can take so many life lessons from this.
So underrated and i can't understand why people don't like this drama more.
Was this review helpful to you?
The story is good but could be better in some parts. I loved the main couple, so cute and fiesty, a bit childish tho on both parts but they do grow nicely together in the relationship, in finding their own love as the story progresses.
I absolutely adore the actors that played the parents on both sides, they are awesome and so funny to watch, omg i wish i had parents just like them!
I know that a lot of people look down on this drama mainly because of how they portrayed oh ha ni because people only choose to see the weak parts of her.
I understand that she is shown as a very childish, insecure, weak and dependent person, it's true but she grows as the story goes on and that for me is super positive! She becomes strong and witted and that's how she gets far on her life and she never quits on her dreams, no matter how many times she fails before getting there.
Her male co star also grows as a guy because he starts off as a cool guy who at first sight seems to be handsome, cool, happy and to have everything a teenage can ask for but the truth is far from it. In reality is has even more issues than oh ha ni, even tho he is dearly loved by his family. He is very lonely, anti social, closed up and someone who doesn't easily trusts on others or feel the least confortable in sharing his mind or even opening up to have real close friends. he feels like the wight of the world was dropped upon his shoulders and he thinks that no one will ever trully understand him. Until he meets her.
It's cliché but it also works like magic.
I liked it very much and will definately watch it again when i miss it in my heart :D
Was the second drama i watched after boys over flowers and it has also a special place in my heart since then :)

But for my sake (and yours too lol) i’m gonna keep it short and to the point.
I really loved this drama, the story has a lot of cringy moments but you can't watch a drama without it, its like the standard issue you get every single time a drama gets out but still it's watchable and doesn’t hurt you in the end if you love dramas as much as i do, if not this drama might get you conflicted and with mixed feelings.
It's the kind of drama where you either love it or hate it! PERIOD! Nothing else you can do about it sadly XD
The lead couple is very good, i love those 2 actors so much (park shin hye and lee min ho), such great acting skills, very versatile actors and i do believe they have such a beautiful future ahead of them, they have good chemistry between them and do their scenes in such a way we really feel their pain and love while we watch them on screen.
The rest of the cast is also very talented, i also like the actor who plays the 2nd male lead, he's got what it takes too and makes you never take your eyes from the screen. Those are good qualities to find in actors, when they grab your full attention and you can't stop looking at them no matter what they do (and i’m not just talking about them being handsome here ok?)
My heart struggled while i watched this drama, there’s highs and lows of course, the characters go through so much it pains me to see it, i can relate to so many things they portray in there it really makes my heart ache. But its so good to go through this journey with them, smiling or even crying when they do. Was a very good one to watch. (even tho it wouldn't hurt to have been written in a more easy way for most people to understand and follow, i think most people get lost and lose interest because of it, because the story was not solid enough).
There's a few reasons why i don’t give full score to this one even tho i love it.
Its because there was a little bit too much drama to break up the main couple, more than my simple taste can handle and because of the way it is written. It doesn't gives justice to the characters or the story at all.
I know it's a normal thing in most dramas (and trust me when i say this, i have seen far worse in other dramas to the point where it made me stop watching the drama completely, which is not the case here thank god) but it made me really want to virtually slap some people through the screen because i was like just let them be happy for fuck sake XD Or just stop being so stupid and a party pooper! Or even that it doesn't make sense at all, is everyone in here cray cray??*sighs*
But considering all factors, i think the actors actually pulled it off in a great way and might be the reason why i ended up loving this drama so much, the performances more than the story and writting.
