This one has soooo much potential!

I had quite high expectations going into this drama and most of them were met. However, there are a few things that just took the joy out of the drama for me.

1) It was way too long. The series could have been completed and wrapped up nicely in 16 episodes rather than 20 episodes in which they really had to add in useless sub-storylines in order to make the characters' lives more stressful. They really tried to drag it out in the last few episodes.

2) The cheating aspect. Now maybe it's just me and my own personal opinions, but there are a few reasons I hated this aspect of the show. I didn't like how it was handled, the way in which the characters reacted to it, the way it was brushed to the side as if it was inconsequential and how everyone involved ended up being great friends at the end. For me, I don't think it added anything to the show and I don't think it was portrayed in a realistic way.

3) The discovery of the murderer and what came afterwards. When the series finished I just felt dissatisfied with this part of the story.


On the other hand, there are other parts of the show that I adored!

1) The natural development of the romance and how it wasn't rushed (however I felt like the FL became kinda annoyingly slow and wishy-washy towards the end)

2) The acting. Thumbs up to all the actors/tresses! <3

3) Ji Chang-Wook as the ML (Don't think I need to explain why)

4) The first 8 to 10 episodes were a joy to watch! They just hit the mark each time!

So Overall, give this drama a go. It is certainly worth watching, just don't take it too seriously. Also, don't feel bad if you skip/skim through the slower parts; it'll make it more enjoyable to watch :)
