Why it consists of such a rewatch value

I have seen so many K-Dramas now and much better than this one but somehow this drama stayed with me and for a while although i had to skip many a scenes to finally be able to finish it.

1- The initial episodes are very addictive purely on entertainment quotient they provide. As you reach deeper into the series, unimaginative plot, repetitive situations and innumerable separations and patch ups will make you cringe.
2- The story is the most cliche of it all, the situations are also not unique either but its the treatment given to it, especially the grandeur which gives it a big budget movie like feel.
3-If you are there for Lee Min Ho as i was then you will be disappointed as despite being the lead, he is not the one you would stay with when the show is over. Very silently the one who will win your heart is the second lead Kim Hyun Joong the then boy band sensation with charismatic looks and one of the most gorgeous smiles i have ever seen. The soft, generous, caring and charming Jihoo who will hold your attention from the very first scene.
4- The leads have almost non existent chemistry which is surprising as far as K-Dramas are concerned who are experts in this field. On the contrary the second male lead and the female lead have amazing chemistry but they don’t end up together. The male lead has good chemistry with another character artist.
5- The kind of relationships both male leads have with the female lead are literally opposite where one has trauma, abuses, heartbreak, other has care, affection, companionship and depth. But they tell us the one who is affectionate is a soulmate but not husband which was kind of illogical because they had established both as romantic relations and female lead had loved both the men in her life.
5- The OST is most certainly its USP. Its one of the best. The song i am stupid and a violin tune will be on your mind even after finishing this drama. Most Jihoo Jandi scenes are show stealers especially because of how well music is incorporated in their part of the story considering Jihoo is an artist.
