Started strong but ended flat

Likes:
1. I really loved Park Bogum in show. Extra special because it is almost like him and not Sa Hye jun reminiscing about his 20s and saying goodbye to all the fans.
2. From the title and from the narration i already felt like they were talking about the past and the romance was always about making good memories so i already braced myself that they were going to break up. I also expected the time jump. I honestly think they are better off as friends. There was something off about their relationship. It was too fast and surreal. And i felt that Hye Jun loved Jungha more. But it's not bad i think it was a prefect way to sum up their 20s.
3. I really loved all the scenes with Hyejun's family. Esp loved how much Gyeong Jun, Grandpa and Yeongnam matured. And how they grew closer.
4. Super loved Minjae! I was hoping we see her get more clients after 2 years and be more successful.
5. I really loved the start with the 3 friends together but it dwindled in the middle and we barely saw them together. At least the last two episodes they were back to almost normal and are close again.
6. I love the ways the drama tried to portray different relationships between parents and children. In the end, parents just wants the best for their children. And children should learn to appreciate their parents more.

Dislikes:
1. The show really started strong. I loved everyone and all the possible storylines, but after Hye Jun hit big time, the story slowly went downhill. Then ending was underwhelming. The romance fell flat. Lots of storylines were never resolved.
2. Park Sodam and her character didnt get a lot of screentime and her character was underdeveloped. It felt like it's Sa Hye Jun show and the girlfriend was a cameo.
3. Too much about Charlie Jung and the endless scandals that are false. I hated Suman and Taesu, they never paid for their misdeeds and are still working. That's how scary media can be and how they can ruin a person's life.

Rating: 7.5/10 😔
