Healing and coming-of-age.
It became my new comfort drama. I cried from the start with the narration at the end of episode 1, but it’s still relatively lighthearted and cute on top of being fun. First, I love the cast so much. Second, I love the approach to trauma; the drama is so innovative and fresh, even with clichés, which fit really well. I liked that the drama was well thought-out and reflective. After all, it's funny that a cliché as old as time such as amnesia is used as a base for the plot. Anyway, this drama had a very interesting psychological aspect and a good balance of darkness and brightness, depth, seriousness and humor. The idea of a bad-memory eraser is already great fiction, so you know what you're in for. I saw criticism about the drama being messy or toxic, but I loved it. It was really interesting, unpredictable, and always changing. There will always be criticism about this drama being all over the place, unfocused and whatnot, but don't worry. The writers know what they are doing.
The characters are flawed but they are cute, you can't deny that. I was attached to them from the beginning and wanted the story to extend to develop them more and be able to know them best. I’m so glad it’s 16 episodes and not 12 because I didn't want to leave the characters so soon. Also, I love how "webtoonized" it is (without being an adaptation of a webtoon for once). Funny enough, most of the criticism stems from this (as well as the duration but I'll have to strongly disagree, and Jin Seyeon haters but mind you, she's one of my favorite actresses and I loved her character like always). I mean, with such an idea for a rom-com concept... Surprised much? Everything about this feels so colorful and never gets boring. Yes, it can be over-the-top and absurd but it's so creative and I love it. MBN doesn't have crazy budgets but this drama is an eye-candy even aside from the cast. Some of the cinematography is actually really good (and it always looks dreamy as if you were literally watching a webtoon, same in MBN's Perfect Marriage Revenge) and the opening is so pretty.
The ending was meaningful too. Overall, I loved how dynamic it was and how much unique charm it had.
