The romance was so heartfelt, it made me wonder if such a beautiful romance with such a deep connection between two people in love could actually exist in real life, I hope it does.
I can't not mention how I loved the osts, they were simply beautiful and fitted the situations well.
Although I loved the romance part of the story, I could have liked this drama more if the plot had been more interesting.
Also the episodes were all too long and there were a lot of boring scenes.
The last two episodes disappointed me because of the use of one of the typical unnecessary situations kdrama writers like to add in the finale episodes to cause drama.
But I did like the ending, it was simple and good and although I didn't rate this drama that high I still recommend it just because of the romance. If you are a hopeless romantic like me you will love the pairing in this.

All the actors did a great job especially Hyunbin who carried the show on his shoulders, I already had a crush on him since secret garden and now I admire him even more.
The romance was good, they had good chemistry, and there was just the right amount of it, it wasn't the main focus of the show.
If I'm not mistaken there was only one ost that played during romance scenes and I wished there were more although I did like that one song.
Of course there are aspects that could have been better explained or more detailed like Park Shin Hye's character, or Chanyeol's character, etc, but the show evolved around Jin woo mainly so I understand. The ending could have also been less open ended and more clear but it was good and I personally liked it.

The female may seem a bit annoying at first but that's part of her unsecure character and she gets better in time.
The male is sweet but kinda dumb at times, I wanted to scream at him through the screen.
The disability plot was a good idea but it wasn't represented well in my opinion.
The romance was heartwarming and sweet and the side couple was really cute too.
The Osts are really good too and made the romance scenes even better.
The only complain I have is the ending, not that it was bad but because it was incredibly rushed, it will would have been better if certain things had been explained. Even so I liked this drama and didn't feel like I wasted my time, I rec it but only to watch one time, I don't really plan on rewatching it.

The story is the main reason I like it because it's interesting and keeps you wanting to watch more and unveil more of it. It's worth it on itself really.
Another reason is the romance, the leads' romance is a very sweet, heartwarming love story and you will feel it.
Lastly the osts, the osts in this drama are really memorable and you may even want listen to them outside of the drama by adding them to a playlist of yours.
Many people disliked Ah ro because she cried a lot or because she didn't return a certain character's feelings but I liked her, she was funny, cute and kind. She stood her ground saying it was wrong when someone wanted to impose himself on her and even kissed her without her consent. She also turned stronger as the series went on.
There were lots of bromance scenes you may like if that's your thing.
Park seo joon looks really good with long hair and if you liked him in other shows you may like him even more here, his character in this drama is really cool.
Now the things I disliked. There were some scenes such as: picture a scene where a certain number of people are sitting, brooding at the same time, and then it would show each of them and a flashback of what was bothering them one at a time, scenes like this felt unrealistic to me. There were also lots of repeated flashbacks in general.
Also there were other situations where the characters would say what they had said before in a different scene or a character would ignore another when that had happened before too.
Another thing that I found unnecessary was the love triangle, the story could have been much better had it not existed. The two guys could have been great friends the entirety of the show and more scenes of their friendship could have been added.
Lastly I disliked how the writer repeatedly put Ah ro in situations that caused trouble thus contributing to people disliking her, those scenes got annoying.
Despite those things, I overall 100% rec this drama, it's sure to be a good entertaining time to anyone.

(This contains spoilers but they're inside asterisks, so you're safe.) I feel like this is one of those overrated shows.
Honestly, the story wasn't very interesting and some parts were kind absurd.
In my opinion, the leads had minimal chemistry, and I didn't like the male lead at all, I felt like he was unnecessarily rude to her at times and it bothered me that he was so cold all the time.
As for the female lead, I felt like she was the savior of this show, although, some situations were kinda pitiful and I hoped she was a stronger character.
The side characters didn't interest me that much and I didn't like them. It was bothering that (spoiler inside asterisks) *the second male lead imposed himself on the female lead the whole show and never got over her until the end*.
The ending was another thing why I didn't like this show and the main reason for it. The crucial question about the male lead wasn't answered. (spoiler ahead) *how the male lead got to and from his planet since he couldn't do that for all those centuries, how did he do that all of a sudden at random times at the end and why was he dying on earth* Also their situation at the end ended up not being an ideal one (spoiler) *he kept going back to his planet out of the blue leaving her alone and coming back whenever*
So nope I would not recommend watching this one.

Watch this for Lee Min Ho's great character and the other interesting side characters but keep in mind that Kim Hee Sun's character can throw you off at first but she does get better though and you'll like her.
The story was interesting enough to make want to keep watching, I think the main reason for that was the villains and Choi Yeong's story and relationship with the woo dalchi and the king.
The romance part of the show was good, at first there's not much of it, but in the middle it develops. I also liked the few romance scenes between the king and queen, it was really sweet.
The ending was a bit confusing to me at first, but I watched it again and understood it. I thought it would be a bad ending as I had read some reviews but it wasn't, the story was completed well enough.
My only complain is the bad camera work (random awkward zooms in and such) but I guess they didn't have much budget or something.
Overall I would recommend watching this show because the story is good and the bad parts can be tolerated.

Watch this for the beautiful well portrayed romance, but if you're looking for an intricate plot you won't find that, the main point of the show is the couple and their explosive chemistry (they're such an otp!). This is a well executed romcom with some sad parts but nothing too depressing.
I liked how the show promoted being healthy and the most important beauty is the beauty of being healthy inside.
There was a lot of enjoyable romance scenes which were not too cheesy or cringy. There was no annoying love triangle.
The side couple may seem like bad people at first but you'll like them at the end.
The relationship between the three guys was really cute and bromantic.
There were some things I didn't like of course, like when she found out that he was a chaebol and got mad at him for no comprehensive reason or how he didn't want to see her or communicate with her the whole year he was in the hospital and getting treatment, also the last episode was kinda weird and the ending felt a bit rushed but I could overlook that and enjoy the overall show.

This show was very interesting, it kept me excited for the next week to come to watch a new episode. I liked all the characters. Kim bon was absolutely adorable with the twins, I was always looking forward to their scenes together. The KIS ladies (and the dude) were iconic.
The plot was engaging but some parts were kinda predictable such as who was the real villain.
The thing I was dissatisfied with was that the romance was minimal which was one of the things that kept me looking forward to see a new episode every week. I wanted to see the progress of their romance, it was going well but then it didn't go all the way...that was disappointing to be honest.
Well despite that, it's overall a good show and I recommend it. If you expect a lot of romance don't. But if you don't mind the lack of romance go ahead.

Don't mind the bad reviews give this a chance
This is not half as bad as most of make it out to be. Ofc there were some things that were unrealistic and things I didn't like, such as jihu never getting over jandi till the end even after having been rejected tons of times by her, the fact that the show focused a lot on jihu and jandi's relationship taking the focus out of the main couple at times. I feel there could have been more jandi and junpyo scenes although the ones there were, were good and they made up for it.The love between the main couple is endearing, pure and unconditional and it will make you fall in love with their love.
The osts were good and I listen to them outside of the drama.
Overall this is a good, iconic, must watch show and I 100% rec it. It was entertaining until the end and that's what matters the most. I felt like it was worth my time.

it started well, the episodes were good up until the childhood story plot was completed. The next few episodes, 4 episodes or so, were so boring that I just wanted them to end fast and to get the show over with. As for the characters, at first I liked the leads but then the show got draggy and over the top cheesy scenes between the leads started happening more often, most of them making me cringe to the point that I felt like skipping their scenes (which would be impossible it's almost the whole show). Also at times the lead couple acted like teenagers when they are like 30 or something on the show (I'm talking about the characters nothing against the actors).
I felt like I was more interested on the side characters than the lead couple, I'm happy the side ships got together at least.
The main couple had been working together for nine years, him overworking her like crazy and treating her like shit, and then one day she snaps, decides to quit and tells him and what? only then he realizes her worth? that he likes her? starts treating her better in fear of losing her? doesn't seem right to me.
Also the main male lead is narcissistic from the beginning to the end, and I was rolling my eyes every time he said anything narcissistic.

I just finished watching this show here's my opinion. The story got me hooked from the start to the end, it was heartbreaking and I cried almost all episodes.
The characters were all so well acted. I've never hated a character in a drama more than I hated dohun and I felt yujong's pain so deeply, that only means the actors did their job perfectly.
I loved the ending it was satisfying, the only thing I could complain about is that I kinda wish yujong could have her son with her although I understood her decision. Hopefully in the future when the kid grows up he will understand and consider her his mother.
As for the romance between minhyuk and yujong in the beginning I couldn't imagine how they would go from deep hate (in minhyuk's case) to love but then the show made it work and it was worth it, I just wish there were more scenes of their love, I felt like with a few more episodes it could have been better on that part.
As for the osts I loved them and I added all the songs except the instrumentals to my playlist.
