Masterful Storytelling - Not a crier until this one!

I'm honestly don't understand the comments that say this drama was overhyped. Sure, did it have some tropes? Yes. And at times, I thought it was too tragic (like Hyun-Woo's car accident was uneccessary. The kidnapping was enough!) However, I thought that this was a well told story. I thought the writing and the pacing were done well, the ending didn't feel rushed. It felt like a really raw and honest story. Casting was perfect (KSH and KJW did amazing! So did PSH - i hated his character so much), music was good and well placed, and beautiful cinematography. We got to see what happens when people miscommunicate, how feelings can get skewed, examples of good love vs unhealthy obsession and the need to be open. I think all the characters had well-written and believable character development. We got plenty of romance, tension, laughs, annoyance (ALL the feels) throughout. I don't feel like there were any plot holes or filler scenes. Everything about the way this story was told was engaging to me. I really loved it. I have never really cried while watching dramas, but I was definitely crying with everyone else in this one (How dare they call this a rom com! lol).

Loved it! Would recommend, but I don't think I could watch it again ( even though I know how it ends I don't think I could go through that again lol!)
