This was a VERY simple drama. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. I was entertained, yet it was something I've already seen before. I was expecting this drama was amazing chemistry and what I got was just meh. I wasn't a huge fan of these characters - I am glad that they both went through some character development. Jung Rok started off as this grouchy guy who never smiled and let anyone in until he fell in love with Yoon Seo and honestly became this dorky person who liked to incorporate his knowledge on the law to crack jokes. Yoon Seo on the other hand developed into a more mature person who stood up for herself more. She still remained quirky and loud, but now she could share her quirkiness with a dork. I wanted more chemistry between the characters because they had worked with one another before, but maybe it was just their acting that threw me off. Jung Rok literally had zero emotions throughout this drama so you had no idea what he was thinking or feeling, and I felt Yoon Seo's pain whenever she was conflicted about Jung Rok's feelings. I loved when Jung Rok became this complete dork around Yoon Seo, but his character tested me a little bit. I understand why he felt the need to break things off with her (because he loved her and didn't want their relationship to be the scandal that ruins her comeback), but he broke up with her in such a confusing and heartbreaking way and then continued to be a dick to her whenever she tried to reach out. Then we had the make-up scene which wasn't satisfying whatsoever. All I have to say about this relationship is that Jung Rok is one lucky guy to have a girl that loved him so much even after all the harsh things he said to her after the break up. verall, I wasn't super sold with the main characters, but for the simple drama it was (compared to the last dramas I have seen that have been intense af) it was really cute and charming and dorky. I think I was disappointed because I expected this amazing drama because of all the hype around it, but it was just another drama that didn't have any new element to it. Plus, I "like" how the drama seemed to be slow to some extent and then literally the last 10 minutes of the last episode jumped around from one day to the next as if it was trying to rush everything before the ending. Which is something I didn't enjoy because we had a whole episode where they were trying to spend their last 20 hours together before she would be traveling internationally for her drama. PLUS, I "love" how they were so sad about her traveling as if she was going to be gone for a a few months to a year yet, it was literally a week that she would be gone. Their romance was cute, don't get me wrong, but they both were way to obsessed with the other. Then we get an ending that we are supposed to be satisfied with - literally the reason why they broke up in the first place. Yoon Seo and Jung Rok made their couple debut and literally no one cared like they thought they were going to. It was very...anti-climatic. I am happy that they were able to debut as a couple...but this was the huge plot point in their relationship where Jung Rok was told that if they did, her reputation would be dragged through the dirt and went as far as breaking her heart to protect her...but literally no one cared at the end and it seemed like such an unnecessary plot point. Like they both should have known better.
