So this drama doesn't have big star names, or maybe the cast has its name and I don’t know. It seems these are not highly popular as some LEE’s and PARK’s. but the performance put up by leads is terrific. I was really taken aback.

STORY
The plot seems a little cliché, like a guy keeps forgetting and the girl comes in to rescue. But this series has a story which makes you want to watch next episode.
Gong Ma Sung our handsome ML meets Joo Gi Beum, a famous singer. He helps as she is lost and they end up spending the day together. the develop mutual feelings and decide to meet later that night. But world falls apart for them as Joo Gi Beum is involved in gets involved in a murder scandal and Gong Ma Sung gets into the accident. Its fast forward to three years later and both are having difficult lives as Gong Ma sung injured his head he cant remember the events of past. On the other side Joo Gi beum loses her fame and now runs an online clothing store for living. Later she crosses path with Gong Ma sung but as he does not remember her, she avoids him. The next day Gong ma sung remembers her which leads to curiosity and hence the story continues as the destiny brings them together.

PLOT VIEW
The first quarter of first episode starts off like a romantic comedy but the second episode tells that its not all, they have got more in depth story. So the plot has typical cliche and predictable coincidences.
The is enormous romance and plenty of kiss scenes. Coming to that the kisses are so good to watch that I sometimes re-watched it.
Joo Gi beum is the damsel in distress, naïve and sometimes stupid. She wants a prince to save her but when he couldn’t, she blamed him. She was continuously cheated and tormented, I wish if the writers made her character a little smart.
The secondary couple and their story was cute maintaining the balance of heavy episodes.
The villains and vamps were too diabolical and twisted, felt like I . Kind of disappointed as their comeuppance was underwhelming.
As for the ending song am really not convinced with why they wanna put everyone in that happy moment.

ACTING
Choi jin Hyuk was excellent in this, showing a really amazing range of emotions as a man struggling with memory loss. He is big, with a deep voice and cutest smile that scrunches up his eyes
Song ha yoon was a damsel in distress, but she also was conveyed her emotions brightly. She is perfect for the role like her body was small and thin which seemed she is really bullied.
Hoya as sung ki joon was amazing. He made quite and impression with his bubbly and energetic performance.

MUSIC
OSTs were amazing with poetic lyrics. Thanks to translates.
Tuk Tuk was very soulful with beautiful and meaningful lyrics.
I also enjoyed Love to forget by Choi Jin Hyuk, his husky voice was praiseworthy.

REWATCH
I would love to rewatch the romance in the series not just the leads but also secondary couple.

APPRECIATION
The cinematography was beautiful. I loved the colour palette.
The chemistry of main couple is heartwarming.
