Reality with all the trope of Kdramaland
I was initially waiting for it to complete. but Kim Soo Hyun 's meme broke my control and I suffered the suffering of waiting for ep every week.Tho the drama started of with the conflicts and lack of communication, it's a good watch because it always told everyone what makes the relationship stronger. what a family should be and how much space, time and communication given to them is important
Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji won....and Sorry Eun sung, I don't know your name. I thought you guys just loved the character. Seo choel ahhhh can I adopt you? You are just too much of a green planet that I can't handle you.
The OSTs are just the feast to ears. The most satisfying ending I got in recent times though we didn't get a lot of scenes of their sweet love phase. But the scenes we got never made me cringy but made me giggle.
Soo Hyun and Ji won are really good in making us cry...
Though I never Re-watch anything that I finished in general, I don't mind rewatch the ending. But TvN you better give us a special episode with BeakHong's scenes that we never got in the whole series

Beautiful
Charming story, I enjoyed every episode thoroughly and the characters made me genuinely care about each one of them.For me, it was an emotional rollercoaster ride, so much that I became the queen of tears myself with how much I cried as the plot unfolded , both happy and sad tears I must add.
Without a doubt this drama now has a special place in my heart as one of my all-time favorites.

A very good drama
Very good drama with a lot of theme that deserved to be tell...Understand love, death, family importance are theme that we deal with in real life. So it was good to relate sometimes and understand that we are never alone in the end.
I prefered if they had skipped episode 15 and focus on a much more elaborate ending, but I still loved it.
I was so excited for next episode each time ... I loved it.
A must watch for all the Kdrama lovers.

Perfect pacing that makes you want to catch up every weekend
Story: Basically about a fresh couple who were in a honeymoon stage and ended up estranged due to a major issue. Both loved each other very much until one forgot how much and the story revolved around how the male lead will realize what made him love the female lead in the first place. It also showed dynamics of different types of families and how they overcome their own issues.Acting: All cast were amazing and did justice to their own roles. However, Ji Won’s acting felt quite short in some scenes with Soo Hon. I think she tried to keep the cool & collected Hae In characterization but ended up restrained. Other than that, everyone did a fantastic job.
Music: Some songs are quite catchy and got me LSS for a few days.
Rewatch Value: I might rewatch all the funny and romantic scenes of the main couple.
Overall: I think this drama is not something that you should binge watch but rather, a perfect drama that you look forward to every weekend. It’s quite fast-paced so if you watch it in one sitting, I feel like the mystery or anticipation of knowing what will happen next would be different.
Things I like:
A.)Hae In and her mom’s relationship. Having almost the same relationship with my mom, I believe they did great in interpreting how they are still awkward with each other after being estranged for so many years. That kind of relationship won’t be solved in one conversation and has to thread lightly, however, they still know that they love each other as family. Hae In’s mother crying scenes always make me cry.
B.) Hae In’s father internal conflict. I think it was quite nice to actually see his POV as a father.
C.) Soo Cheol and Da Hye’s love story. Although we’ll never know what actually made Soo Cheol fall in love with Da Hye, his love for her and her child is admirable and made me cry a lot times. I guess his lines are quite touching.
D.) Eun Song’s ending. I guess I didn’t expect that because most rom com villains just end up in prison so his ending was quite satisfying.
Ending: Honestly, I don’t know if I like the ending or not. It felt rushed yet beautiful at the same time. Maybe because I still want more interactions from the main couple. Or maybe how they concluded Seul Hee’s story was a bit lame. Because there were some surprising twists in the first few episodes & I expected the main couple to surprise us with their own tactics but finale just ended up having cameos from other actors which felt dull and lacking. Even so, it was still a good watch and the first kdrama that I actually looked forward to every weekend during their broadcast time. Like I literally waited for it to air on Netflix and didn’t miss even when I was on holiday. I was quite invested and I totally ship the main couple in real life, although their chemistry on screen wasn’t the best, they still have sparks.

Emotional driven drama
The name is silly and could turn you off thinking this is some cheap melodrama. It also starts weak and the story is common, but the emotional value is skyrocketing very quickly. That's the main weapon of this k-drama. You ain't gonna watch this for a perfect production, but for the sentimental value.Highly recommended watch when you're in the mood to receive emotions, otherwise you might get judgy and agree with other low-score reviewers. Don't waste this watch if you're mood is wrong, it's one of those you will remember forever if done at the right time, enjoy!

Mostly Aptly Named Show
Truly the Queen of (Reducing Everyone to) Tears. Perfect casting, perfect OSTs, heart-rending story. Like Haein, it makes me want to hope. The story is admittedly heavy but it also feels cathartic? Haein and Hyunwoo are characters you genuinely want things to get better for; they deserve to be happy, and hopefully they will be.Only 6 episodes till date, but also hopefully, the plot won't take a dramatic turn diverting from the main narrative and it won't be a sad ending. This story demands a happy ending.

just amazing!!
memory loss. miscommunication. childhood fate. a lot of flashback scene.they really manage to put all the tropes I dislike in drama and make me not just like it but obsessed with this couple. it's not finished yet but I already know it gonna be one of my drama this year
I think the actors play really big role here like every week they give us award worthy performance. they really raise the bar high for other dramas after this. they make me replay their scene just to watch the micro expressions. Kim soohyun and Kim jiwon the actor you are👏👏👏

I don't get the hype
I started this thinking it would be a gem after hearing all the reviews and after seeing who wrote this. Sadly it was an unpleasant surprise. The writing is pretty bad, they just talk way too much to the point i space out and when i come back to my senses they are still talking. There are way too many overused tropes.Overall I found it lazy and boring, I really wasn't looking forward to watching it.
The cast is it's only saving grace in my opinion.

Please don't curse using "Jesus" name! pls
Please do not curse using "Jesus" name (~ beginning of Chapter 5) .. please - it's very sinful. I am not sure whether it's just subtitle or the Actor really curse in Korean. As a Christian, is very painful to watch. I will drop dramas like this, even if it is very interesting. Please respect our God, don’t curse with “Jesus”, “God”, “Holy”, “Christ”, etc. In fact, don’t curse at all. Scriptwriters, SubTitle Writers, Directors, Producers - You have the power to make a difference. You can change the society for the better.Was this review helpful to you?
Blend of Cheesy Cliches
Another cheesy drama. I couldn’t even get through 4 episodes. Not sure why people still fall for the same plot time and time again. SO OVERHYPED AND OVERRATED.Combining makjang, chaebol, and romance resulted in an even cheesier mix that fell flat. Despite the hype, there was no redeeming quality. The male lead was dull, and his constant crying was unbearable. His portrayal was weak and pathetic. The plot is cliché, the story unrealistic, the acting overly dramatic, and the entire show lacked depth and substance.
