All Mood. No Momentum.
I had such high hopes for this drama. I really enjoyed One Spring Night and Something in the Rain, but this one just didn’t compare for me. The leads had great chemistry at the beginning, but then the dynamic got strange. Even though there was only a five-year age gap, Hye-Jin often treated Jun-Ho like a child, which became frustrating.I did appreciate that they didn’t break up... largely because Jun-Ho fought so hard for the relationship. However, the pacing was a major issue. I usually enjoy laid-back dramas, but this felt excessively slow. There were far too many long shots of scenery or characters just thinking or waiting. Those moments can be effective, but not when they last several minutes and are repeated multiple times every episode.
The conflict also felt weak and poorly developed - especially the sudden hostility toward Hye-Jin, which seemed to come out of nowhere and never truly resolved. Many of the characters lacked clear motivation, making it hard to understand why they behaved the way they did. Overall, the drama had potential, but it fell short for me.
