Underdeveloped
This is an example of underdeveloped world-building and too much going on. I feel like the writers either wrote themselves into corners or the production team wasn't able to tell the full story because they were limited by 12 episodes.The romance was very, very underwhelming. I don't feel like the leads had any chemistry at all, especially considering Kim Min-Gue's previous role in Business Proposal and how dynamic his chemistry was with that actress.
The acting was well-done but they couldn't help what they had to work with.

Came for the plot - the plot is Rowoon
I was really in the mood for light fantasy/heavy romance and this delivered for that. Some of the plot felt repetitive and even a little recycled, but the chemistry between the leads was legit.I was RoSwooning the entire series.
The FL did come off a little Bella Swan at times - like nah girl...why? But the comedy and sweetness of the last half of.the romance kept me fed enough to overlook a lot.
The Love triangle wad pretty awkward. I'm also very over the high school bully plot line.
That said, I will likely rewatch.

Uncontrollably Long
This drama started so strong for me. I went into it knowing I'd probably sob my contacts out. The premise was great, and everything tied together like you'd expect from a melodrama.But...Is it weird to be disappointed that I did cry once?
This should have been 14-16 episodes maximum. by the end I was grateful to be done. It was irresponsible editing IMO.
The OST got old very quickly.
While the leads look gorgeous together, they didn't have great chemistry. I didn't feel the pining or sense of urgency I needed for someone with a terminal illness to finally make things right.
