Simply beautiful.

I was in the mood for a calming romance and found this gem! i'm not really a fan of watching dramas on-air, as it makes me furious sometimes to wait but with this one, it's worth the wait.

it's not one of those glamorous romances, as it's slow-burn. the whole drama revolves around LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

The leads both are green flags. their Love is no pushy or forced and all you see is Respect between them. both have baggages from their past that they must resolve first.

The production, development, music, etc are all decent. It's not cringe worthy at all!

yet after waiting and watching the whole drama, i have a negative point to add. I know how slowburns are yet this drama dragged for too long and we got to see the leads together and intimate in the last 10 eps. almost 30 eps of development and them being together only on the last eps. that's a bummer really. I kinda lost interest and had to force myself to watch even though i loved this drama from the beginning.

all in all, a very slowburn romantic drama with cute visuals!
