I love Park Seojoon and was so thrilled that he had a new drama coming out. The premise seemed intriguing, and when I finished Episode 1, I was already desperate for more. However, as I continued on, I started falling more and more out of love with it.

While I'm a sucker for time skips in dramas ( usually I like that it helps to move the plot forward without having to go through all the filler in between ), this one seemed to make use of it too much without it explaining why or how we got to a certain point. The way certain characters were developed didn't seem consistent with their original characterization. It felt like the drama wanted us to get to a certain point, but it didn't really go about the best means in doing so.

I didn't feel anything for the relationships between the characters, and most scenarios were predictable at best. I do have friends who really liked the drama ( and others who hated it to the point they just dropped it altogether midway ) and it seems like people also feel a wide range of emotions towards it on this site. Wouldn't be a drama that I'd recommend immediately, but perhaps if you really like one of the cast members, you'd be interested in checking it out.
