Perfect until the rushed ending...
This drama is one of those dramas that is perfect until it suffers from a rushed ending. Actually, the story had so much amazing thickness to it that it could have had double the episodes and still wouldn't have suffered from it dragging! I loved this drama so much. This drama it essentially like two-in-one with how the story is set out. The first part was absolutely perfect in my eyes, with the second part almost perfect (I'm so happy with this by the way as I had such a bad feeling the story was going to turn into a catastrophe in the second half). I loved the story, characters, acting, directing, settings and OST the most. The drama is very easy to watch too, therefore a high rewatch value was given. I'm not sure about the adult ML casting choice (I love the actor but I feel as though someone else would've been better portraying the character, although I have no evidence to back this up).The story was unpredictable, which I did love. The good characters had flaws and the bad characters had glimpses of goodness in them, and essentially the moral I got as a vibe mostly was that life is life and no matter what, people don't change. However, through hard work and determination, you can succeed no matter what. A couple of scenes were hard to watch, and maybe a hint of cringe here and there but it worked, if that makes sense. I also loved how the writing team incorporated minor/supporting characters in the first part to reappear in the second part. I love when dramas do this, it feels as though I'm watching a drama full of Easter eggs (the video game kind, not the chocolate kind, although I do love them too!).
Overall, I highly suggest watching this drama. It does have a few themes here and there that may be a little hard to swallow for some, but it's a drama that everyone should watch in their lifetime.
