one of the few positive responses. i loved this drama A LOT!
Honestly, this drama DIDN'T disappoint. I have decently high expectations for dramas, and this drama was absolutely amazing for me. I found very little complaints, but I really enjoyed watching this drama. Never have I been SO obsessed with a drama before. I'm sure everyone has their own expectations and opinions though. I watched this drama because of my brother, he recommended it to me. I was supposed to watch it when it was done airing, but seems not. I never regret waiting for it to air or watching it before I was supposed to. I was instead, grateful that I decided to watch it.The acting was absolutely amazing. Seo In Guk portrayed emptiness in Myul Mang before he met Tak Dong Kyung, and it just seemed like his world lit up when they started dating. He did it perfectly, from beginning to end. Park Bo Young also did a brilliant job, portraying a character with limited days left before she dies, who ends up making one of the biggest risk of her life. While Shin Do Hyun, Kang Tae Oh, and Lee Soo Hyuk didn't have as much screen time, they did a decent job. I liked Cha Joo Ik and Lee Hyun Gyu's brotherhood and Na Ji Na's relationship with Tak Dong Kyung's family.
The OSTs were out of this world. I liked every single one, from Part 1 to Part 7. They reached top tracks on my Spotify, and I guess that shows something. The music and sound effects were really nice. I liked how each song kind of showed a certain part of the drama. Breaking Down by Ailee showed when there was tension. Love Sight by TXT showed happiness and it played on their dates and sweet moments. U by Baekhyun played the more sad, sweet scenes. I Wanna Be With You by Gummy plays like U, sad and sweet scenes. All of My Love by Davichi is more towards happy scenes, where the couples are just together, enjoying their time. This is Love by Sondia plays during the 2nd lead scenes. Distant Fate by Seo In Guk has that really sad sound and I guess plays during the emotional scenes. But anyway, I really love the OSTs for this drama!
One complaint, yes I only have one. It is that the 2nd lead storyline is kind of poorly developed. Yes, Na Ji Na ends up with Cha Joo Ik in the end, but it was a little confusing. Maybe not confusing, but it could get boring at times. In the beginning, Na Ji Na really needed to get her feelings sorted out. The kind of jump with the love triangle between ep 1-14 and ep 15-16 was kind of like a "wait wtf happened." But anyways, this was a minor complaint of mine.
I would recommend this drama to anyone who asks me, as I personally LOVED it. I've read others reviews and majority of it are a 6.0 or lower, but it's okay. I don't mind ratings or other reviews, because I understand everyone has personal preferences. I just know very well I love this drama a lot, and yeap, I think that's all iIhave to say.

I liked this drama a lot. Though most of the reviews range from 6-4.5, I liked this drama. I won't write too much as I am on a short amount of time, but this drama was good. The behind-the-scenes were cute, while there was romantic tension between the two characters in the beginning. Slightly frustrated but it worked.
Anyways, this drama was pretty good :)

ACTING:
Again, I was very new to C-dramas so I didn't really know who was who. After expanding my C-drama profile, the acting was pretty good. I fell in love with the main leads (like all 6 ppl not just jinmi and xufeng)!
OST:
Man, I lowkey got addicted to the OSTs lol. They were pretty good!
Rewatch Value:
Tbh, I watched this drama probably at least 3 times. A few episodes more, a few episodes less. The reason why it is 8.5 is bc I think I watched it a tiny bit too much LOL but it's good and lives up to my expectations.
This drama had AMAZING costumes and stuff so that made me even more excited. The villans were... ofc annoying but they are there for a reason. I don't really have complaints for this drama aside from the very annoying villans but they are part of the drama soooooo.... I rly like this!

LOVE IT!
I really loved this drama. I watched it because my brother recommended it to me and it became my one of my favorite K-dramas!CAST:
I think the cast for this is good. Shin Hye Sun did an amazing job for her character, showing her happy, yet dark, sad side. Now Kim Myung Soo, he did well too! However, sometimes his acting came off as a little forced, but I liked them as a couple haha.
OST:
This OST, where do I even start. It was absolutely AMAZING. Oh My Angel, Pray, and Stay are my favorites, but I love the other ones too. They were stuck in my head for who knows how long. In my opinion, they are one of the best songs in dramaland.
Story:
The story, not too bad. The last ep got a tad bit confusing, but I rewatched some stuff so I understood it better. Of course, Director Kang Woo got under my nerves but I guess that just means the actor did a good job :)
Overall, this drama didn't disappoint me. My brother is basically the guinea pig, he watches a lot of drama and then recommends me his favorties. Since he has very high expectations, it's pretty obvious I will have high expectations too. I will recommend this drama to anyone who asks me!

EhHhHhH. okay.
This drama is so... cliche. There's nothing really new about it and it just seems recycled from "My ID is Gangnam Beauty."I first watched this drama because of Cha Eunwoo, as an Aroha I wanted to support him. The first 2-4 episodes were fine, I was watching another drama at the time because it was airing. Somehow, I always forgot what happened in the previous episode. Was it that forgettable? Kinda....
{spoiler alert in the next paragraph}
It's really predictable what happens. Like when Suho got hit by a car he would go to the hospital and Ju Kyung would come running. When Soojin turned evil, she would soon regret it and apologize to her friend. It's very.... easy to predict. This is what made it boring. There was a "cliffhanger" with the eps, but its just so easy to predict what happens and thats what made it boring.
I have two good things I liked about this drama, however. One, the OST. They aren't exactly my favorite, but they are pretty good and I liked them. The second thing was the meanings that this drama taught viewers. That society doesn't define you. You define yourself. There's more to it.
1. Society doesn't define you. You define yourself.
2. If you love someone but they don't love you back, move on from it. Staying in a place won't help.
There's probably more but I watched this a while ago so I don't remember too much. (exactly. it's forgettable).
