This kdrama feels like summer vacation to me visually. The cinematography, aesthetics and music here are special (compared to other popular dramas i have watched). Although it's old, it's very ahead of its time in terms of topics being discussed, stories that are told and scenes being shown. Even the kisses here aren't awkward like in most popular kdramas😭They are very natural and passionate.

The story was interesting. I really liked the concept of their cafe and the friend group they created together with it. All the characters were amazing, i loved them all.❤️ The cast and the acting played a big role here, they did a very good job bringing these characters into life. This is my most favourite thing about this drama.

The main couple had a great chemistry, which is what carried their romance. They had a lot of issues though, like often arguing (and doing that in the middle of the cafe, in front of everyone, like wasn't there any other place?😭)

The other couple (Han-sung and Yoo-joo) were a total mess and super toxic. I don't support that kind of relationships at all, but it was interesting to follow their story as well.

I found the music and the way it was used special tbh, not like i am used to hearing in other romance dramas. It created a certain vibe, which i really liked.

Overall this drama was good and special. I can see why it's a classic. Although it isn't for everyone. I watched the first episode once and dropped it, then i decided to give it another chance and it definitely gets better. I don't know if i will rewatch it anytime soon tho...
