Many dramas start with a bang and just fade out into nothingness. This is definitely one of them.

I enjoyed the first few episodes really well, but it just went downhill way too fast and nothing could stop it from burying itself deeper. Don't get me wrong, there is plot, there is acting, there are sub-plots (which by the way, can be skipped without the loss of any kind of context whatsoever to the main storyline), there is good music sometimes, but overall there was something not quite right about how the story proceeds in time.

Many scenes don't seem to convey the emotions of the characters involved. The few characters onscreen fail to make an impression from any given scene. There is basically zero character development. The relationships were just there for the sake of it, no real connection between any two could be made due to the weak portrayal by the actors. Even though the storyline was good enough, the screenplay was disappointing, to say the least.

I am quite biased in my opinion that there was nothing worth remembering once you finish watching this drama.... neither it leaves a feeling of warmth in your heart, nor does it give you a sense of satisfaction for the main leads finally getting some closure.

There is also the classic and quite frankly unnecessary time skip towards the end of the last episode which underwhelmed the continuity without mercy. I don't really understand why the male lead had to get out of her sight without saying goodbye, where he could have easily conveyed to her that the couple would require some time to get over all the things that happened over the past few months. And seeing that the female lead has gone through quite a few life-threatening situations herself, would have had the brains to understand that and take a break for a while. The main lead just escaping from all of that was a really dumb move.

I have been frantically searching my memory for any good things in this drama, and just couldn't find anything.
I hope I'm in the minority who feel like this, because even though it was quite bad for me, I could feel that the cast was really trying to get it right, sadly it was just not worth it.
