The best part of this drama is that it has more mature content and the fact that women can probably identify with one or all of the female characters. I know I didn’t give it a high rating, but it isn’t that I didn’t like this drama. I thought that the acting was really good. I can’t really explain it, but somewhere around episode 7 or 8, I began to really get frustrated. Honestly, I don’t understand the relationship between Seok Hyun and Yeol Mae. I have never been in a relationship where I fought like that. I’m not of the disposition to ever endure something like that. If I was miserable in a relationship, then I just wouldn’t be in that relationship. Also, I have a problem with relationships where people hide things and aren’t truthful. I absolutely believe that you can love someone and not be with them. I appreciated all the middle episodes where Yeol Mae was with Ji Hoon in a healthy relationship a lot more. Ji Hoon treated her with kindness and respect and was honest with her. It is possible to love two people at the same time. I just don’t relate to women like her at all. I like the friends and their stories though. At least they learned something from their strange albeit unhealthy relationships and moved on. I probably identify more with Jae Kyeong out of the women. I won’t give away the ending, but to me it was unsatisfactory. The last episode was pretty much filled with flash back filler and a time jump. It just made me roll my eyes. On the other hand, the acting was really good. I have always liked Kim Ji Suk and I think he did an excellent job playing Ji Hoon. He has a great smile and an ease of acting that totally drew me in. He is very believable. I have never seen Lee Jin Wook in anything before. I didn’t like his character, but I guess that is a tribute to his acting. He is easy on the eyes though. Jung Yu Mi also did wonderful portraying a confused, frustrated, but in love woman on one hand and a then a totally happy, satisfied in love woman on the other. All of the other actors were good also. The music is off the hook. “I Could Give You Love” by Lasse Lindh is a great song and I definitely think that it should be added to everyone’s song list. I recommend watching this drama to see for yourself. You may enjoy it. There are a lot of enjoyable moments. I personally just couldn’t get over the fact that Yeol Mae was in a long term, on again/off again relationship with a jerk. Oh and I have never seen the first I Need Romance...so I can't compare.
