A little note : I came into the drama mixing up the two main leads so for the first episode i thought soo ji and tae hee were the same . maybe that's why i wasn't so attached to tae hee .

story : the story started off completely strong like other mentioned, and could've been a hit. it really could've but then it went downhill after episode 2 or 3. from then it was mediocre and borderline trash. i found it borderline trash because in some ways the story was entertaining. i really enjoyed the trio at first, they had great chemistry. i do wish that the writers focused on making it about their bets, and just showcased their friendship more that way it would've hurted even more when their friendship was ruined. the main reason why i continued watching was to see how soo ji ended up and what their friendship turned out like. from episode 28 and onward it was better, much better. the story was better. some of the characters were completely not needed. i actually ended up skipping a majority of the drama because the side stories were boring and i just didn't like the chemistry between tae hee and shi hyun. honestly it's partly because they fall in love so fast and break up way too many times and i just felt like it was rushed.

the ending was rushed but i liked it? but it was still not the best it should've been. the writers could've done so much better with this. not to mention it's completely different from the french novel about it but it's okay. i think that it would've done so much better had it been focused on their friendship, betting, more dark themes, and the drama of the rich people. they should've used the bet as a small thing and made it completely different. if they focused on how their parent's actions and personalities affected them i do think this drama could've been so much better. but

actors: a lot of people had mixed reactions towards the acting and on the most part i liked the majority of the main actors.

i really really loved ga young's performance of soo ji. it was spot on, you would hate her but still have sympathy for her. to be fair i cried during the ending episodes for her and what she became like. her acting is no joke i'll be checking out her future work.

next min jae, he was good. he was mysterious and lonely. we really didn't know much about him but we did know how lonely he was although he had on smiles for the majority. i really felt his pain when he would cry.

woo do hwan, i don't really have anything to say about his. i did like his charism at the beginning of the drama, he conveyed his emotions quite well. to me it didn't stand out to how much ga young's acting stand out but it was just eh. good but didn't really move me as well as it did with the two others. but honestly with the writing, he did the best he could work with.

joy, she's one of the reasons why i decided to watch this . originally i got joy and ga young confused so i skimmed through some of episode one and two thinking they were the same people. honestly her acting's mediocre, it's not trash but it's not on the level of the other main actors. i do think that had they chosen a stronger actor, it would be able to save this show a bit more.

music : really loved the bgm when soo ji would cry about her onesided love. the one about confessing love first. i loved the orchestra music in the bg that helped set the mood. overall it was good.

rewatch: im not one who rewatches shows unless they're ones i really really love but i gave this a five because there were certain episodes i rewatched such as episode one, episode 30, and 31 because they were just amazing. but i wouldn't rewatch this series, it was a pain to watch in the beginning.
