The 1st half was overly dramatic and the 2nd half was a snooze fest. Park Hae-jin's character Li Ang and his love interest Li Ren were supposed to be the main pair but they threw in 3 other couples that had the same amount if not more time given to them, especially Li Ren's cousin, Tian Na. Towards the middle it seemed SHE was the lead. When time was actually given to the OTP, it fell flat. I did not feel their chemistry at all. It was odd, they had scenes that should have been romantic and sweet but it felt like they were just checking off a to do list. Definitely not building a close and connected relationship with each other. Such a disappointment.
If a viewer is into crazy and sometimes nonsensical kinds of relationship shenanigans they may like it. Lots of breakups, lots of ex's, meddling elders and a bunch of grown ups who don't know what they want. Personalities seemed to change on a whim. Several scenarios happen over and over. What was the worst for me was I didn't particularly LIKE most of the characters. Even the ones that weren't bad weren't that exciting either.
***Possibly Spoiler-ish***
One love story fights against age and social status differences and has a jealous ex-girlfriend which was as cliché as possible. The jealous ex-girlfriend is especially grating. There is also an extra-martial affair relationship, a crazy psycho girl in love with a creepy magician and one other relationship that was actually normal but just seemed to be there to fill up screen time. One character that I did warm up to was Li Ren's cousin, Tian Na. In the beginning I couldn't stand her but by the end she won me over with her exuberant and quirky personality.

Our leads consistently did things that normal adults would not do and that’s why I didn’t rate it higher than seven. For example someone is engaged and now has a fiancé. The old flame who is supposed to be a good person and mature consistently lingers around the person that has already committed to be with someone else but is also giving them attention. It gives the sense that she is either dull or has no common sense. I will say about the same about the male lead being in a relationship with someone but hanging around someone else. Although innocent, normal people just don’t do things like this at this age. I did not like the overall series not because of the plot but the acting/script but I don’t like to quit things once I started.
to avoid the torture that I went through I would recommend anyone watching to watch episode one through five and then skip to episode 12 or 15, the fakeness, superiority complex and forced snubness and weird naivety somewhat diminishes. It makes it a lot more bearable. I will admit that after episode 12 or 15 the series someone takes a different turn and it gets a little more interesting although our characters still portrayed those unrealistic behaviors.

A low grade poop I stepped on
~~ This review is totally subjective ~~Episode 8 is the limit of my endurance. I tried to manage this cringefest for the sake of Noona romance, but forced to stop here. I haven't watched a lot of CDramas/Movies. But I was quite satisfied with the handful few that I watched up to this point. But I had to come across some bad apple at some point, unfortunately this is the one.
The story is a mess. I understand it's a drama and things like infidelity, cheating, affairs are common in here, to spice things up. But how come all (except one up to ep 8) of the couples are somehow in this type of crap? Couldn't make myself to like a single characters. Specially the character of Xu Guang dude. Wanted to samsh the face everytime he appeared on a scene.
Unpleasing experience. I started to lose it at episode 6 but still dragged it up to 8, and it only added up to the growing frustration. So decided to draw the line.
I don't pay attention to how the casts act, but couldn't help but notice the glaring low grade acting in this one. Acting in CDramas/Movies always felt off to me, like they're devoid of natural feelings but that could be how the language and people works there, so wasn't much bothered of it before. This one is forcing me to write about it.
I always try to rate dramas/movies based on their ending, but unfortunately I am not gonna torture myself to see the end of this one(even though I can already guess it has a happy ending).
Since I haven't completed it and I can't give negative rating point., I'll be generous and give it 1.

J'ai aussi apprécié le personnage de Nana (la petite soeur loufoque de la lead femme) qui a apporte un peu de fraîcheur, un léger souffle de jeunesse et de sourire (sur la première moitié du drama)
Sinon ce drama est rempli d'absurdité, aucun être humain ne réagirait comme eux. Des couples qui se forment et se séparent dans tous les sens. il y a beaucoup d'incohérence dans les émotions et le scénario.
Je n'ai ressenti aucune alchimie entre les leads. Bon la barrière de la langue a du faire son effet. Du coup, je tire mon chapeau à PHJ qui a été quand même excellent, charismatique et hyper sexy. Bon courage aux fans de PHJ, l'histoire est absurde mais on tient jusqu'à la fin pour voir son beau sourire et son regard.
