Even when it's happy...it's not.

THE NICE: (1)our actors were good. Kwon Yuri did fine, although the writers made her a rather stiff and moody character.
As for Hyun Woo....he's too sweet not to like.
(2)Lliked the music they kept playing, which under scored the core issue around the couple's pain.
THE BIG CHALLENGE FOR ME?
(1)There just wasn't enough happiness in their relationship shown before the accident for me to believe they ever cared enough about each other for her to go to the lengths she did to save him. We only saw that in flashbacks, yet even then there was a pall over the whole story...a glumness that even the ending couldn't brighten.
(2) Not a satisfying ending to know that our villain operated right under the nose of his colleagues. An important job like his demanded that clients be treated with respect .Whoever was 'in charge' would have had brakes and balances to make sure their agents couln't go rogue like he did. Worse still, this bad guy got away with it in the end. Even though many saw him as a bleak misunderstand (and sexy) guy, I found his past story wasn't enough to forgive his ruthless hounding of her throughout. this short drama.
FINAL NOTE: Lots of old tropes like an accident and plenty of noble sacrificing, which I like if they're done well. Not anything hard to watch but also not really anything uplifting if you're looking for romance.
