This show was adorable! I was grinning ear-to-ear for the last 6 episodes. If you want something light, fluffy, and heartwarming, this is a great show to watch (e.g. after watching something heavy and sad). I swear, the last few episodes were like fanfic and wish fulfillment. Come to think of it, even the early scenes like the carousel were pure wish fulfillment. I want to be Park Min Young!

The side characters were so cute as well. It took me a while to warm up to Ms Bong and Mr Ko, but by the end, I was rooting them all on. I'm glad that every loose end got tied up neatly, and every small fragment came full circle by the end (e.g. the flowers! What kind of DETAIL?). The "hero" music had me rolling in the absurdity at times.

I'm very glad that I watched this show after seeing a few others now. It was so fun seeing our favourite Because This Is My First Life characters make cameos. And I'm so glad Ji Ah got a happier ending than this actress got in Fight For My Way — for a while there, I was worried!

I was a huge fan of the kidnapping subplot, because it was so formative to their lives. Plus, it was clearly written in as part of the "plan" from the first episode. It wasn't dragged out too long, and I'm glad there were still conflicts to handle thereafter. This drama felt a lot more like western TV shows, in the sense that after the kidnapping subplot, each episode had its own conflict that was wrapped up at the end.

Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young are so beautiful and such good actors. They seemed to be having so much fun throughout, so I'm glad they got to have this script to carry out for us fans. It was a pleasure to watch this love story!
