it is not the better but NOT THE WORST!!!! the noona romance just made its worthiness!!!!

I wanted to write a review just to say that a lot of reviews giving 1 and 2 ratings for nothing I perceived it right to give it that and I have to be realistic that 6.8 is not wronging but though it could deseve 6.5 to 7 ratings for overall performance it but I felt the story and script is not bad at all as so many users were complaining about it but surely could be better!!!!

I am the one that taking side to see it an average in everything, but for an actress renowned like song hye kyo and jang ki yong I would say it will make a gap in their history of tv series for many watchers but the drama could be casting like for the beginners in acting not for someone veteran like these actors who breaking a records in highly rated dramas for both of them: the glory, descendants of the sun, kill it, www and so many...

I wanted to try this show as song hye kyo is great when paired with a younger actor showing a wonderful affection and sincere love for her partner, she presented the same nice performance as well jang ki yong who didn't care for all the objections of his mother and hye kyo's mother that with a broad smile receiving this harsh words of being out of wedlock and how he fell for his dead brother's ex like a betrayal but he was so innocent in love with her without being deliberate to hurt his dead brother, as the coincidence of fate played the role to make them meeting together!!!!

I dropped it at the start after 5 episodes due to the negative reviews, then gave it a try for the sake of noona drama and binge the rest for 2 days while I skipped many scenes of the second female lead and second male lead as being so boring paired together with the work issues but I am here just for the noona romance that I prefere to watch always, it was also imperessive the terminally ill friend park hyo joo of first female lead and second female lead that performed so amazingly and she deserves to be the second female lead instead of choi hee soo, I can see a disparity in the acting of first leads and second leads that it could have been better to cast song hye kyo, jang ki yong and park hyo joo to be the leads as I like the most of their acting, the remaining of actors was average and less which made a great issue!!!!

I like the idea of now we are breaking up, moving back and forth in the realtionship of first leads as hye kyo was surrounded with hard circumstances: her work problems, parental divorce and her terminally ill close friend was a dilemma blocking her way for living a normal life with her partner as the chemistry was attarctive and catching otherwise the show didn't worth this little thing making it still acceptable watching till the end!!!!

the character of mothers was annoying especially song hye kyo's mother when throwing a rude speech to him but jang ki yong's mother character was bearable though she was nasty due that she loved ki yong despite not being her biological son and the son of her cheating husband but at least she chose to stay outside if her son will end up with his beloved one overmore I hated yoon jung hee the fiancee of ki yong's older brother too being a hurdle in the way of the leads but I can consider the end was "satisying" for the leads being together at least!!!!
