Decent
This drama was a little slow for me. By episode 3 I found myself feeling bored with the dragging storyline. The ML, while he is a good actor, his character was unappealing and I didn’t fall for him, and I’m not sure why they chose to use full on autistic traits to make someone appear “weird” or as they say in the drama, “crazy.” They could have made his character quirky without being autistic.The FL was the biggest issue for me. There are a couple of actresses in kdramaland that seem to have a literal inability to close their mouths, and constantly hang their mouths open like an emotionless dead fish in every scene, and Jung So Min is one of the biggest offenders. Maybe others are okay with watching this facial expression in every scene, but I find it irritating to no end and bad acting.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad show, it actually is worth a watch but I wouldn’t hurry to watch it. The cinematography is ahead of its time for 2017, and the overall quality of the drama is excellent. I just had several faults with it that keep it from being a favorite.

Beautiful
I adore this show! This is a different kind of drama. This show is calming, meditative and slow and yet somehow never boring. It’s about a girl who returns to her countryside home town and reunites with a former classmate who now runs a bookstore. Each of them have scars from their past that they must overcome to be together. The acting and cinematography are incredible. The OST is beautiful and carries each scene perfectly and serenely. This is now in my top 5! I hope this show sets the example for future kdramas of this qualityWas this review helpful to you?
