Where do I begin? I liked that we were shown the story through Na Heedo's daughter finding old diaries and interested in her mums story. It felt nostalgic, when you hear about someones life before you were born, lost loves, friends, their lives, finding out things you didnt know about them. Like we were sucked in at the same time as her daughter.

The rivalry to friends with Ko Yurim was so good, the way it changed and they became best friends. Their friendship group I loved so much, seeing Na Heedo's old friends and all the stuff they did together in highschool thinking it would last forever. It brought a mutual nostalgia and yearning for a time gone with the audience, I thought that was done well. I loved Yurim and Jiung they were so cute and I loved how devoted he was to her. That they had a smooth and mutual loving relationship. Unlike the stress of Yijin and Heedo's. Also Seungwan what a diva and her mum was so sweet to her friendsss.

Yijin and Heedo, I liked them together, I wanted more though. I felt we didnt have enough of them together and happy. And only got a bit frustrated nearer the end with their relationship. Him not having time and their schedules not working. I understand it but it was hard to watch.

I did feel it lost its way a bit nearer to the end with unnecessary bits and Yijin moving to America??
I would've liked them to end up together but I also understand why not and possibly controversial I even liked in a way that they didnt. It made it realistic. Like how some things dont last and you need to let people go in the most respectful and loving way. Like time moves on people come and go and they will always be important and special memories to them both, without it lasting. So I do understand that choice. unfortunately knew it was a sad ending already before watching it so I watched in fear and anxiety thinking Yijin might die. Im just not very happy with the fact they didn't have enough happy together time before the end.

So I liked it, but, I think, it lost its way a bit towards the end. Wasn't as satisfied as I would've liked it to be. But loved the friendship.
