Pure perfection

Truly, I don't want to over-hype this show, BUT ALSO I have seen a lot of dramas and I have to say this one is one of my all-time favorites. The plot is where this drama shines, I think it focused on a lot of details other dramas pass up and didn't conform to specific plot timelines you frequently see (i.e. confession on the 8th episode, dating on the 9th episode, breakup on the 12th episode, etc.). The script wasn't too cliche and I'm not a big fan of the age gaps tropes (this one is around 4 -5 years) but, this one explained it pretty well and didn't make it incredibly unrealistic. The color grading and the cinematography were so so pretty. I loved how it kept a warm, comforting feel throughout the seasons. In a strange way (but good), the entire drama felt like it was perpetually in summer, even though we see snow and spring scenes. The soundtrack and the music selection were a great match for the show's cinematography and storyline. Stars and co-stars aced it, the acting is really good, and I loved that the side characters actually had personalities! What I would give to rewatch it for the first time, but then again it's become a comfort watch, coming from someone who doesn't usually rewatch things. Anyway, I really don't mean to over-hype it but it truly deserves all the praise it receives, my best advice to those who haven't seen it is to stop reading reviews and go into it as blindly as possible, happy watching!
