If you decide to watch it, dont drop it if you start disliking first 2 episodes.

I was also ready to drop it, as I got bored by beginning of ep 2, and I disliked 2nd female lead's affairs as she already had 2 kids, but I guess she wasnt much to be blamed for the way she acted due to being ignored a lot by her husband who didn't show her any love in years or care.

And I really hated male lead's wife, 3 years apart, and she felt like a controlling wife in some things if you see the drama.

I did a lot of skipping around and also thanks to first 10 episodes being recapped found on google, as I cared mostly following story line that involved main female/male leads, that being the main reason I decided to keep on watching this drama and also hearing it had HAPPY ENDING FOR THEM and side stories wasnt too much interested, they didnt seem much interesting to me.

><>

I liked the main leads; their chemistry was good, and you could see their emotions in their eyes for each other every time they met.

From beginning, you could see they are lonely souls who were stuck in broken marriages, female lead wasnt receiving any love over 3 years and female lead's husband called her "mom" to 2 birds he cared and loved more and gave attention instead of his wife.

Male lead lived alone for over 3 years as his wife was doing school in U.S., so he felt loneliness and his love for his wife was gone.

EPISODE 1 got me hooked if you noticed when the two main leads met; they felt like lonely souls and without understanding there felt like sparks being awaken within each other's soul from that first encounter at the mark.

And I enjoyed a lot their encounter at the park, 2 broken souls and emotions flying in their eyes, I wont spoil anything major.

But first few encounters, their souls felt awaking each time, as female lead was leading a tired and lonely life before she met male lead.

Male lead was a just leading a lonely life.

They talk about their first encounter around ep 13-14; so you will understand it better if you watch this drama.

<> So, in overall beside skipping a lot this drama, secondary characters, I did enjoy a lot this drama and since it had a happy ending, unlike the japanese version that had a sad ending for the main leads.
