Nora
Story: the story wasn't really anything original, but I think it was well portrayed in 20 episodes. The love story was unnecessary but I have to admit that at one point I was hoping for a kiss with all my heart. There are some story holes but they aren't even that noticeable, so I think we can shut an eye on that.
Acting/Cast/Characters: The cast was great overall. I didn't feel much of a connection with the main character tho, but maybe it's just me; he was perfect for the role.
Instead, I felt a lot connected with Gyu Man. As someone who suffers from anger management issues, Goong Min did an amazing job at portraying that. At the end I felt so bad for him, even if he did what he did, I still felt heartbroken.
Another character that I really liked but without a solid reason, was Gyu Man's assistant, Soo Bum I think he's called. Actually, the only times where I actually felt hate towards Gyu Man was when he bad treated him lol
Other character that I loved was Dong Ho, especially at the start and at the end. His accent was really good too.
I have a question tho, why is Gyu Man's sister on the poster...? She barely did anything...
I hated so much the Moo guy, no hate towards the actor, but I wanted to just punch him in the face most of the time, he was so annoying. Another annoying character was the idol manager or whatever he was, but thankfully we didn't see him that much.
A character that I changed my opinion about is the main police detective (forgot his name, the one we see from the start). At first I really hated him, his face just got on my nerves; but at the end I just loved him. I have no idea if it was made for comical purpose, but I laughed everytime he talked in the last episodes.
Music: I personally really liked the OST. The one with the violin was absolutely the best and the "happy" one wasn't annoying like usual. I didn't notice the songs tho, I tried to pay attention but they weren't really relevant.
Rewatch Value: I'm not the type to rewatch dramas, but, if we're talking about this, I could definitely give it a rewatching chance.
Overall: In my top favourite dramas for sure. Not at first place because I just didn't feel much of a connection with the good party. I definitely reccomend it, especially if you are into lawyer' dramas or you have anger management issues like me lol

I really reccomend it, it made me understand the characters much better.
If you want to read it, I think you should read it from the start. Since A round trip to love was meant to be a tv series, things are pretty rushed and there are many things that have been cut, so you wouldn't understand things that happen after. (AAA there are many rape mentions in the novel, much more than in the movies.)
Also, the first time I watched it it didn't even have subtitles. For someone like me, who usually doesn't like watching movies, liking a movie without even understanding what is being said is something interesting. Even if I was like "what-did-he-say-WHY-IS-EVERYONE-GASPING-WHAT" the whole time, I still enjoyed it.
Not for everyone, but I def reccomend it.
