I started this drama just trying to kill some time before I finished another tv series I'm watching. And it wasn't good but it also wasn't bad. It's one of those dramas that won't stick with you forever, but it was entertaining and addicting to watch while it lasted.
What I liked the most about this drama were the flashbacks of the relationship between In Young and Chan Hee, I thought they did an amazing job capturing how they started dating and then slowly distanced themselves and the art that was a snapshot of those moments. I knew it'd be used and I was a little sad and wistful when I saw the rain scene. I do love the pining and angst of ex-lovers and second chances, so I enjoyed that. Though I do admit that in this case I didn't want them back together because he was a huge asshole to her before-during and after his absence. Before: they were distancing themselves and he'd treat her coldly and ignore her, the way he ended up things and said he was more important than her was unnecesary hurtful: he could've just said he didn't want to let go of that opportunity. During: he never tried to fix things. After: he actually tried to insert himself back on her life as if nothing had happened and became more insistent when he saw her being happy with somebody else, to the point he even suggested they get married right away. The drawing of them not breaking up and kissing under the rain was his "big gesture" and he even kept the drawing of them being married and said it's something he'd been working the year he was abroad,which... in his mind is supposed to fix it all.
And, even though I've said all of this about him, the other romantic interest was even worse. He's childish, manipulative and emotionally constipated. I also didn't feel the drama spent much time with scenes of them developing real feelings for each other, we're just told than they did. The only times I saw cute scenes of them were during the flashbacks on the 11th episode. I also thought the female mc forgave him way too quickly.
My ideal endgame would've been her leaving those two assholes behing and becoming the badass art curator she could become.
