Very emotional story that will make you cry!

As soon as the show starts, you can tell this is going to be a pretty heavy show. It handles abuse and feeling alone and not having that parental validation you need. Overall, everyone in the show that you’ll meet, is somehow mistreated.

What I have to say though, is that the first few episodes with the child actors, were amazing!! They showed a lot of potential, and I hope I see them in new projects as well.

Even the casting was amazing, I truly think they outdid themselves with it.

I feel like the story did get a little boring at some point, but it was still nice enough to continue watching when you’re bored.

I liked the tropes in the story too, even if they were a little toxic…but they were done well. Like with Ranjoo and the PD, I mean I was rooting for them! Despite them going back and forth…I’m not sure if we should assume they ended up together in the end or not..but they were cute for sure.

Also with Mokha and Kiho, I loved their chemistry when they were kids! I was totally rooting for him until the older versions of them were introduced. I’m not going to lie…I preferred Chaeho …He was just so much more better (personality wise) than Kiho’s older version. But in the end I caved in, and I think Mokha and Kiho are absolutely adorable. I mean…who waits and stays loyal to one person even after 15 years of waiting? What a love story!

Really, this show will have you crying. It’s such an emotional rollercoaster. Keep in mind there’s child abuse as well as abuse in general, so when you’re watching this, be sure to understand what you’re getting yourself into. Even though the show starts off pretty dark, it soon turns beautiful and colorful. Cute story, cute characters! Watch it when you can!
