With every episode-" DOWN" went my rating for this drama
You will enter the drama seeing NamJooHyuk and Suzy but in the exit falling for KimSeonHoBe it small or big all of us have dreams. Be it short-term or long-term all of us want to achieve them. But few are scared of starting and divert their path, few give up half way through , few remain stubborn and stick to them untill their dreams are realized. To convert thoughts into reality the actions taken towards it plays a significant role. So, our leads are also full of vigour to prove themselves by starting a "START-UP". Will they be stubborn and prosper or be swayed away by others opinions and lose , is what we should be looking forward to in this drama.
It is good to see that both the leads start from the same point in their careers its not like just any other drama where the Male lead is perfect and too good to be true. The characters are relatable "struggle,insecurities, self-conscious ,doubtful " are the problems of any person who wants to succeed. I really loved the way they reflected these emotions in one single drama.
This drama is a mix of genres it literally plays with emotions , it will tickle our funny bones at times, squeezes out all the tears with sentiments and makes our heart flutter with sweet moments there are few amazing dialogues that are inspiring as well.
HAHAHAHAHA these were my thoughts in the first half of the drama but "naive me ", now at the end i am left with empty feelings and i kept wondering about the genre of this drama.The comedy in this is only in the first half tbh. Initially i thought this would be about chasing dreams etc etc (one feel good life lesson drama) and did not show much interest in the love-triangle but towards the end startup was a side track and all the attention was forced towards how will male lead get the girl . And ya this has no elements about the struggle at all . My rating is only for the first half as i enjoyed watching them but for the rest half i would just give 2/10 because it made no sense to me (Maybe i had high expectations).
For those who like Nam joo hyuk and suzy's it would be a great drama for visuals

Pleasant surprise !!!
Surprisingly i found the annoying Debora adorable and reliable towards the end. At first i hated how she clinged to her ex despite all that he has done to her. She portrayed all the emotions thay anyone would go through after breakup so perfectly that it annoyed me .Ofcourse world seems to collapse if all that you have dreamt about just flew into thin air without any traces yet i am s proud abput how Debora picked herself up depicting "life must go on no matter what" . She came back, came back with grace.
I would give a 10/10 to how well each character in this drama was designed. Nothing felt like a gap filler and absolutely fascinated by every actors screen presence.
I was not annoyed nor despised any character all of them were lovable
Deborag-soo hyuk :- Taught me that Happiness can be pursuied by killed petty pride
YuJeong - Jinwo :- Made me want to believe in marriage
I just love DeBora does self-talk and yet deliver such beautiful and meaningfull message to every soul who has went through pain. The dialogues were note-worthy. Memorable oen of all - Now that you have fallen to the ground all that you can do from here is RISEUP!! It is a perfect mix of friendship, comedy and romance
NOTE:- Not everyone will find someone like JinHo who takes responsibility . This is drama for a reason . So choose people wisely and HAPPY LIVING!!!

This drama is very dreamy !!
This drama is not strangers to lovers but more of acquaintances to lovers.This starts off by showing us that the leads are acquaintances and how ML wanted FL to help him get together with her best friend in the past. They didnot show anything about what went on with the ML and FL's friend which saved us a lot of time to understand and focus more on the leads . The writers eliminated the crap and gave us what we want by showing bits and pieces of past story.
I did not understand why the leads behaved the way they behaved after FL's confession but the latter episodes answered all of my questions and helped me understand each of their personalities better. For me, this definitely stands out from the other crush based C-dramas and FL though crazy for TangYu , after being rejected she did not let go of her self worth and focused on what is right for her.
The chemistry between the leads is LIT!!! Both of them are bold and aggressive in expressing their feelings. Their scenes together will give you butterflies and they created some iconic scenes.
ML's mother character was very adorable and liked her whenever she was on screen. The other side characters or couples didnot interest me much and skipped most of their scenes. The intro song and its lyrics are good .
Overall, if you are into C-dramas with dreamy scenes and mature yet romance . Give this a try !!

Even our parents once had sparkling youth
Ever had argument with your parents? Ever had differnce of opinions with them regarding career ? Ever wanted to know how their youth was?This drama picked a very beautiful concept and executed it flawlessly. This is a whole package .
This brought tears in my eyes, made me laugh when most unexpected and left me with mixed feelings.
I would say the ending was not very perfect and would have been beter had they explained it in more detail but overall i loved it.
The characters stole this show, especially Yi Chan is such an inspiration. The music was good and i felt the concept was similar to perfect stranger but what makes this different is the mix of all genres.
Overall this is worth a watch!

What did they even think before ending it like this!!!!!
What i lookout for in a suspense thriller is for the last few episodes to unveil the hidden puzzles and to have a good wrapup, This series is faaaaarrr from being it.Only the first 4 episodes were interesting to me but later i was confused and at the end i was disgusted. Why the hell did i even waste my time on this ,
I saw park hae jin anf sungwoong in man to man and was super excited to see them together in yet anither drama. I have no doubts nor complaints on any of the actors in this series, they portrayed their roles flawlessly. But just good acting couodnt save this drama, the writters messed it up.
MuChan is the most foolish main leads i have ever watched. Now i dont even want to think about this series anymore. This will be perfectly erased from my memory with no traces left.
There are much more interesting and well written thrillers out there, better go and watch those rather than wasting your time here on this drama.

Sailing in the same boat but are on different floors .
At times you just get attracted to someone and start yearning for their company without your knowledge because you are surprised to have similarities or it might be due to few characteristics you find in them which you have always wished for to posses .The drama starts off really slow and then it starts unwinding all the knots one by one, the relationship's are quite complicated between people and we might find ourselves in the characters situation at times .Initially the leads find each other in the same situation and start finding solace in one another.After both the leads getting hurt by their loved ones and constantly trying hard to empty their feelings they lean on each other to pass through difficult times and eventually develop feelings for each other.
People who are heart broken for just loving someone unconditionally, people who are born talented but are not sure about how and where to utilize it , people who want to prove themselves to others or to themselves, people who want to be recognized not with the family name but with the fame of their own, People who struggle in a relationship just because the other person is unsure about their feelings, people who constantly work hard but are overShadowded by the talented people and people who chase their dreams until they succeed will definitely relate to the characters.
It definitely does'nt fall under my preference of genre but wanted to start only for KimMinJae and at first his looks and voice kept me going but later i was hooked to the story.

When Passion meets Peace filled with warmth
Imagine spilling an ice cream we just bought. How heart breaking would it be? And what if a person who put her everthing into her career for years, made sacrifices and finally made it big but due to some unfortunate incident lost everything ? How will that person cope up? will she be able to get back on her feet?The first two episodes were mostly character introductions and their backstories. The sisters trio would be interesting to watch as each one of them have their own story and reputation in their village. YongPil's, though skilled in his profession why does'nt he want to leave his village ? This would be interesting to watch. The next two episodes showes us more of the leads bonding in the past and that they had a misunderstandinf whatever it was, lookinf forward to it
This is a rom-com. Yes, it indeed is!! the first four episode made me laugh my heart out. looking forward to the romance part.
The actors definitely wont let us down. Almost all the cast members are known faces in the industry .JCW and SHS combination is fresh and interesting. I havent seen such loud and choatic leads like them before. I am so glad to watch JCW in a light heart romcom again. Loved the OST- Short hair by our DK- His voice is so sweet and refreshing, perfectly fits the Jeju vibe.
