A standard Romcom
This drama was one on my watchlist for a long period of time, exactly 3 years. If I wasn't a fan of Gong Yoo , I wouldn't even watch this. TBH, it is a pretty satisfying Romcom if you compare with the others in Kdrama world. Being a fan of Kdrama romcoms means you have signed an agreement to comply with the lovey-dovey cringy cliche romance . If you can compromise that , this would be a fun watch. If you want to watch a drama on a serious note, still watch this, cause there aren't many realistic dramas out here.Was this review helpful to you?
Binge-Watchable
I haven't seen a lot of C-dramas, maybe 15 but except for three or four series, I have dropped all. Mainly because the lack of realistic emotions between characters. I won't say that this is a all-in realistic series but it gives a similar vibe. The first few episode are slow paced but sweet and later it regains pace and is binge watchable.The music is good, especially the intro and the guitar bgm that plays all through the series.
Talking about the leads, i found them as a perfect cast. Even though ML had a wax face all through the series, he bought up a realistic aspect to the drama and it's still a mystery for me. Gotta admit, Janice is the cutest!
This drama won't disappoint you, I swear!

Definitely the best of 2020 IMO
I know it's a mini series but for me this is the best series I watched in 2020. The series has got around 7-10 characters but how they are portrayed is really applaudable. Ji Soo is just the main lead for the record, it is actually like a multi lead series with talented artists. The integration of animation is something new for me and I was really struck by the direction. The music is one for the playlist. The parents portrayal was so realistic and was the better actors in the drama. Being a Ji Soo fan for a long time, I think series is the most memorable one considering him as an actor.Jisoo is really flexing this year. One hand with the one of the most disappointing drama of 2020 and the other hand with the best. Anyway, fighting !!!

When I was the most depressed
I am a Jisoo fan from day one but wont stop me from saying that this one was nearly a disappointing drama for me. The story is something that would have been interesting a decade ago. When you got an amazing cast at your service, the makers should have been a bit more productive. This series stands between mature and cliché. The dialogues were good and were executed brilliantly. There is no wrong in a complete melodrama format but it becomes a headache if you can't bring realistic aspects to it. Character portrayal like Yeji's aunt and Carrie was cringe at times. The father of the brothers was one to applaud.The saviours of the drama is indeed the cast. I liked Ha Seok vibrant acting. So bad that he is not used well. He could make any role. Im Soo Hyang is really the soul of this drama. There is something peculiar in her acting. Her way of dialogue delivery is a textbook to other actors.
Coming to Jisoo, been a fan of him since Angry Mom, and five years apart, he is still the sad boy. Dude just needs to change his agency.

Average drama
Well, I have no complaints about this drama as I knew this was not for me. Even my friends didn't recommend as they knew this is not my type of drama. But it was not so bad neither so good...This drama got such a big viewership internationally and maybe, it can surpass dramas like Goblin or Dots.About the couple, I missed chemistry and felt lack of emotions . As a drama, I felt that this could be placed in the same class of itaewon class. So if you like that drama, go for it!!
The music is good ..could be added to your playlist. I don't know whether the psychological condition of the characters are portrayed medically correct . I felt a bit of artificiality in that.

Disappointing
Just want to say that this not the worst drama as many reviews say but just a below average one. Kudos to the creator for ruining a great plot. It would have been one of the best thread only if!!! I don't know whether the creator underestimates the viewers. I haven't seen a drama in the recent past with so many loopholes and mistakes. They were really immature in building the story and not to mention the dialogues, cringe ultimatum!!!The male leads were good in a way that they were successful in giving some feels to the viewers in some of the scenes. On contrary , FL character was really a disappointment . I would rather put her as more of a psycho than Gong Ji Chul in this drama.
I feel for Jang Ki young cause he was having a great streak.
I don't recommend this drama to anyone but I would say that this is not the worst as there are even more trashes rated over 8 with more popular leads.

Personally, I was not into pre 2010 drama as I'm afraid the plot will be different from my taste. But this drama changed my view. It's surely an underrated drama without all the post 2010 nuisance. Yes, it has cliches but bearable. Gong yo Jin is superb and I liked her acting skills.
I'm not sure if I will recommend this drama but if you like Coffee Prince, you can go for it.
