The milk never expired.

Okay, before i talk about the story. The leads in this drama are absolutely, breathtaking. The visuals are off the chart. We are probably not going to see the jung jung couple anytime soon. But they gave their full potential. Amazing chemistry with the leads.

This drama has everything a "drama genre" will have. The parents, the situations, the visuals, everything was very cliché. But it was done good.

The family was the main thing that this drama is in a drama genre. They gave their own problems, and even push their problems to their kids.

The ex was just there as a purpose for seok ryu to go back , and he was just there to make seung hyo confess. They gave him a super confusing role. But , the way i switched sides when they showed that he didn't cheat. Like poor man , I was hating on him for nothing. Bro lost a diamond though (Seok ryu)

Seok ryu had the most confusing, realistic and the most frustrating role in the drama. Her having a break down with her mom was super sad to see, the sibling partiality was shown so good, it felt real and it makes you feel bad for her.

Seung hyo is the whole reason I didn't drop this drama midway, cause i mean mannnn, the edits of him flooded my feed after watching this drama, and i ain't complaining!!. I felt so bad for him in the whole drama, like imagine the girl you loved, your bestfriend growing up hid that she had cancer. (Gosh his acting when he found out.) I mean I also was frustrated, i mean this man loved her for a decade without confessing. He stole the show for being an absolute hottie .

This is the first drama I LOVED the second leads. I need a whole drama for them. Their relationship was so cute. The paramedic girl (Mo eum ) and her mudflats man (Dan ho). Their first kiss was kinda awkward, Since they showed a guy grieving for his late wife to Mo eum, and this girl kisses him and runs. And we found out that Dan ho is not the actual father to Yeon du , very cliché but thank God they added that or else their first kiss would've been so awkward. Mo eum was amazing character, the cool kid i would love to be type, smart and an absolute baddie. Dan ho was an amazing parent to Yeon do, that made him so hot.

The parents love story was different genre. I mean them literally writing the drama queen of tears as seung hyo's parents. It felt like actual hae in and baek hyun woo when their old. Anyways I wished they focused more on the main leads though.

The relationship of Dong min (seok ryu's brother) and the gym girl (the one who had a crush on seung hyo) was disappointing , they could've made them date. I loved how the gym girl was a girl's girl and not a scheming one you typically see in other dramas

The drama went downhills when their exes came. I mean I loved seung hyo's ex , she was way better conveying her feelings than Hyun jae . Although she did kinda frustrated me when she was stealing seok hyo from seok ryu slightly. But it made them realise their feelings so I ain't complaining again.

And they kinda threw that cancer part again they just needed a reason for them to fight. The ex not cheating, made the story better. Cause seok ryu was having a hard time moving on, at first i was annoyed, Girl i know it will take time to move on, butttt he freaking cheated on you??!. Then they showed that he's not a cheater but an green flag. I mean okay i kinda get you girl.

Her ex , was a mix of emotions. I'm sure everyone has their ups and downs , but the difference between him and seung hyo is , seung hyo is ready to hit rock bottom with her, so he could tell her she's not alone, but Hyun jae wasn't ready to do that. I respect it though, it's human nature, just because your girlfriend has cancer doesn't mean you have to mourn and devote yourself to her all day.

Some of the quotes I loveddd:

"My mom and dad didn't come to meet but as i looked at the girl who skipped her exams for me, I realised after meeting Bae seok Ryu, There wasn't a time when I didn't like her" -Choi Seung Hyo

"Don’t force yourself to laugh if you feel like crying.” — Choi Seung-hyo

"That milk expires today but my feelings for you won’t spoil tomorrow or the day after.” – Choi Seung Hyo

"Without you, time seems to drag on… Without you, every day feels bland.” – Bae Seok Ryu

"It feels unfair that there isn’t an expression better than I love you. Because that’s how much I love you.” – Choi Seung Hyo

SEE HOW MOST OF THE GOOD QUOTES WERE SAID BY SEUNG HYO, HE PRACTICALLY CARRIED THE DRAMA.
This drama is truly good for the romance, they're chemistry , the visuals, the acting, and the story was well written. I will recommend this drama to person who like slow burn with awesome chemistry.
