It gets better the further you watch
At first, I felt like I was watching a high school film competition entry. The editing was choppy, and the actors (to me at least) seemed to be uncomfortable and the acting wasn't too good. However, once the couple FINALLY figured out that they liked each other, I thought it was very cute. The confession was sweet and not something we normally see in K-dramas. I'd say give it a try, it's not a long show.
LIKES:
1) I LOVED the FL. The actress has one of those faces that you just want to watch. The character was good - she seemed pretty sure of herself, not that concerned about what others thought of her, and was very sweet.
2) Confession.
3) The couple once they got together.
4) The storyline of the moms, and their relationships with their kids.
5) The ML lack of directional awareness. I thought it was cute that he kept getting lost.
NOT SO MUCH: Spoilers!!!
1) The ML. Something about him bothered me, in addition to what a jerk he was through half of the show. Was it his hair, the clothes they dressed him in, his puffy face? I don't know, but something was off.
2) The writing was such that for the longest time I wasn't sure who was supposed to be the ML. The 2ML got a lot of screen time.
3) Some of the outfits they dressed the FL in. Shirts 10 sizes too large for her! She looked really cute in shorts, but was that the best look for someone with the skinniest legs known to man? Maybe I'm just jealous...
4) Why does almost every modern K-drama have a time jump? The couples struggle through so much to get together and find love, and then they separate for various and sundry ridiculous reasons. She decides to go to Europe so she can study poetry. Do they not have poetry in Korea?!? As a result, I thought the end was lackluster.
