I dropped this on episode 6 of 8 total. I asked myself if I was still enjoying it and the answer was :no.

the premise is simple. a girl loves a guy, this guy loves her best friend and she loves someone else entirely.

I enjoyed the first half of the drama. I was curious to see how things would evolve in such a romantically complicated situation. the moment something changed for me was when they literally did a red con. for those who don't know it, a "red con" is when a writer rewrites something which was established earlier to fit the current narrative.

at the beginning it is clear that our female lead had no interest in the male lead when they were teenagers. she always knew him as her best friend's crush. the fact they weren't close is evident in the first episodes. half way through though, through flashbacks, we see that in actuality they were way more closer than initially said. it is implied they had a little crush for each other at the same time.

the female lead chooses her own carrier path according to the male lead but at the same time she forgot all their memories together. how is that even possible?

putting the plotline aside, there is nothing really interesting here. the characters are not bad per SE but they don't stand out. especially the main male lead is really boring.

the female lead is ok but I never grew attached to any of them.
side characters are cute but nothing more than that.

the overall vibe is just mid. this is a perfect drama to put on background.

the romantic aspect is really underwhelming. the chemistry is lacking and the kissing scenes are bad.

nothing was so gripping to convince me to continue for another 2 hours.
