Enjoyable ride spoiled by dampener ending
Contrary to many of the reviews I saw for this drama, I found it an enjoyable ride, pretty watchable, not so much for the plot (which is known, fairly cliched) but for the performances--of all the main cast.
The children were adorable and all 3 acted really well.
It was also fun to see a number of popular K drama actors in their younger selves in this show.
Lim Yoon A acted really well and I didn't see much difference in her acting here from her recent show Bon Apetit that i had fairly liked.
Despite the age gap, the chemistry between the ML and FL was believable to me, and given the fact that it is a relatively older show. The ML looks his age and actually looks handsome in many shots.
Overall I had found the drama watchable and i did not skip any scene...till Ep 14, that is.
Ep 15 onwards the show was unnecessarily prolonged with the re-appearance of the dead mother and it was considerably difficult to digest. But the last episode really was a dampener. FL goes away for a year and after all the build up of great rapport between ML and the children, that is totally thrown into the winds and it ends with the ML and FL shaking hands.
And, it appears as if the last bit of the show was hurriedly written and shot to just wrap up things.
And it was a huge dampener.
