I enjoyed this show a lot, but feel like it'll be hard to review as there were parts that also frustrated me. I loved Eric Mun as Tae Ha. He had incredible growth through the series. Jung Yu Mi as Han Yeo Reum was an endearing, if confusing, heroine. This story is one that sort of unfolds in layers. It's a bit reminiscent of Another Miss Oh and Marriage, Not Dating in story-telling style. So, if you liked either of these, then you'll probably like this as well.

I liked all of the parts of Tae Ha and Yeo Reum re-kindling their lost love and discovering what went wrong and seeing their growth and maturing process. Like with AMO and MND, the relationships were complicated and messy and raw. I both loved and hated this show for the frustration of it all, but in a way that meant that the writing was good. These characters are flawed, and you feel like you can see each of their points of view...and my feelings toward each fluctuated as I learned more about each.

I loved Yoon Sol and Do Joon Ho as side characters. They also provided a lot of the tension relieving humor throughout the show.

The push/pull was hard to watch sometimes and I felt that the love triangle was solved way too late. My biggest complaint about the show as a whole, was the ending because I feel like they didn't leave enough time to make it as satisfying as it should have been considering the turmoil they put us through along with our OTP. I would still recommend it for a one-time watch.
