Writing so good it made me actually hate the characters
I almost stopped watching after the first two episodes but persisted. What followed was just some of the best story writing, even if at points it genuinely made me angry. As a man I absolutely cannot fathom any of the female leads decisions. I understand the 'salting the earth' strategy but of course with a male mind trying to see from the ML's perspective I was screaming for him to stay with the 2FL. Of course the message then is that the mind cannot control the heart, and his love for the FL withstood any of the sabotage that she threw his way.
The cast and acting are superb, and really portray how desperate people can be for love. Outside of the 4 main leads I also enjoyed the ML's friend Gyeong-Pil's character and performance.
This drama is in a category I haven't quite worked out yet but is there with the likes of One Spring Night, Something in the Rain and The Midnight Romance in Hagwon. More real world romance situations rather than a lot of the perfect romance dramas we are used to, so I would recommend those to anyone who has enjoyed this drama.
