After almost 2 years of frequenting this site without an account, I signed up to write a review for this cause I felt the score and one of the top reviews weren't doing it justice. xD
I don't write reviews for anything much so kindly bear with me. I'm not really versed when it comes to storytelling/writing, acting or music so I won't go into (too) much depth. And rather than objectively stating how those are, I will describe how I subjectively perceived them.
Story: I think this has a nice story that also flows nicely. Everything seemed to make sense and fit together well. It's pretty laidback in my opinion and not very dramatic, but still passed surprisingly fast. I usually get bored easily regardless of what genre I'm watching but this drama kept me curious and entertained throughout the whole thing. (Especially after the male lead entered the picture too once the setting up was done in the first episode)
Acting/cast: so spot on. I think everyone did their part well and especially the main lead couple was very fitting to me. Woo Bo Young, the emotional, hardworking and friendly contractor and Ye Je Wook, the straightforward, outwardly cold (and awkward) but inwardly caring new doctor come together in their workplace, the rehabilitation section of a big hospital. Those two fluffballs (>w<). They're both mature, strong and understanding and make a great couple. Their relationship is not super passionate as you may see in other dramas but the way they interact and show their affection for each other is just so precious to me. Really, Lee Yoo Bi and Lee Joon Hyuk did a great job on this.
Same for the second male lead. It's nice to see this rich but lonely brat come to care for someone and mature a bit too. I read some comments saying they couldn't stand the brattiness and the way Min Ho treated Bo Young but as a generally understanding person, I didn't find this too problematic. Sure, he's a jerk, but over the course of this drama, you will come to understand why he's still so immature and inconsiderate at his age. Thumbs up for Jang Dong Yoon portraying this sad brat xD
Music: I guess it was nice, I don't remember most of it though. There's this one song that stuck with me ... "youth these days" by Stella Jang. It really fit the show with its gentle and calm but also a bit sad vibe.
Rewatch Value: most of the time, I don't rewatch things. I'd rewatch parts of this though, mainly the lead couple interactions, they're just too cute >w<
Overall: This is a relaxing show with a slice of life vibe to it. You get a glimpse of the characters' lives, their happiness and struggles and come to understand and feel with all of them to some degree. In that way, it kind of reminds me of "Just Between Lovers", which has a similarly understanding and gentle feel to it. The interactions are nice, the romance is precious and it's very funny too. I really recommend it :)
(Of course, the criticism some people have is valid too, however I liked it a lot regardless. Nothing is perfect but this show is in my subjective opinion so precious and awesome that I gave it an overall perfect score ^_^)
