Yes, This drama should have a Melodrama tag in genre section.
There was a time while watching this drama that I almost dropped it, reason being the drama became unbearable to watch.
Things I hate about this drama:-
Sad and heavy moments were dragged unnecessarly
They went unnecessarily too far with second male lead.
Situations when story required drama to be serious, they tried to lighten the situation with comedy, (If a food is spicy will adding sugar make it less spicy, No it makes it tasteless.)
This drama should have been 20 episodes only and should have cut unnecessary crap filler stories.
Things I liked:-
Comedy element in the early episodes was good
Acting from cast was spectacular
70% of story was captivating and intresting.
They provides satisfactory followup ending story to characters which was a nice touch.
Overall:-
Drama is like a dish which has most parts that are good some are delicious but some parts are unbearable to taste. Conclusively its watchable.

This drama is a Time muncher, you will lose track of time while watching this drama, it is that smooth.
Story:- It is well written and thought about, it does get a little bit cheesy at the end, but i feel that it gives it a special flavor. I did not find any dull moment in the drama and completed it in 4 sittings.
Characters and cast:- Characters are well thought of but lack a solid foundation of back story, but don't take me wrong, they are very good considering this is 90% Romance+Comedy, Strong characters are needed for suspense and mystery dramas. Anyways, acting was spot on and accurate.
Music:- Drama has some good tracks which differentiates from typical background music but it is still not at level of "It's ok that's love and love from other star". But over all it has great music.
Overall:- If you are looking to pass your time or want a hot RomCom with great story and logic, this is a great drama to watch. But if you want some thing new with an exceptional story, suspense, mystery, and strong antihero you should come back to this later. Peace

This show is a "Masterpiece" and will take you on a bitter sweet journey of two people truly in love with each other. While enjoying the ride, there may come a rough patch and it may get unbearable to watch but stick to the show that you loved until now, don't let go and see it to the end. Pay keen attention to the last episode and try to look at scenario from other the side of the wall. What may seem "Evil" and "Trashy Evil" might turn out to be right and just. Yes "Sometimes its difficult to be a woman" will be justified in last 15 min of the show.
Feelings apart, for the people who want a regular review, here it is:
First of all this show has a lot of romance and kiss scenes, it will fully satisfy your craving for romance. It is filled to brim with romance.
Story: Well crafted and nothing seemed out of place and unfair, it performs exceptionally well in conveying its message of True Love.
Cast and characters: The acting and the characters are so real that you will forget that you are watching the show.
Music: Music is top notch and well crafted according to scenario. You will surely be listening to this music even days after finishing the show.
Overall: It is a great show with a valuable lesson.
All I will say is that sticking together bearing all the pain together without running away is best way to show where you belong and to realize where love is.

This Show is a "Masterpiece" and I believe it has set a new standard which will be difficult to beat any time soon.
Only thing that surprised me is that, while searching relentlessly for best Kdrama shows to watch why it took me so long to find this hidden gem. This show deserves to be at the pinnacle of best shows list, it is that good.
Story:- It is a masterpiece of art. It is so well written that nothing even remotely feels out of place. Every thing that happens has some kind of Godly Reason behind it and it always keep you on your toes all the time. Story is the strongest attribute of this show.
Characters and Cast:- As I stated in my review of "Shopping king louie" that strong characters are needed for Mystery suspense shows, this show did not disappoint me in character development and backstories. Characters are second strongest attribute of this show and they are very strong. Acting from cast was exceptional, not even a single shot was bad.
Direction:- Some extremely powerful moments are present in this show that will shake you top to bottom and these will hit you out of no where. I had to add this point to prove my next point in the review.
Music:- Music in this show is extremely good at conveying the mood of situation in the show, These powerful moments were intensified using very good music.
Overall:- This show deserves to be more popular and much highly rated than it is now and i tried my best to draw your attention toward this show by giving a honest review that "It is a Masterpiece".

This show is well Written, Acted, Directed and it has great Chracter development.
If you like deep romance, with deep meaning in stories, and hate over acting and cliches, You will definitely love this show.
This show has relationship as jewel, It starts as a rough then get polished by losing some chunks, later it sparkles brightly, Relationships and character interactions with each other is the strong point of this show.
This is first show that made me write a review.
(PS: I did not write a review even for "Goblin")

This show is in Mystery Suspense genre and also has some great action scenes along with some romance, But if you are looking for steaming rom com this is not what you are looking for.
Masterfully Shot:-
As soon as I started first episode first thing that was evident was that, this show has some great camera work and high post production effects value. The level of shooting work is on par with mainstream movies.
Story:- Story and set pieces are well written and meticulously crafted, the Godly logic is present in every aspect of the story, nothing feel out of place and every aspect comes together well.
Acting/Cast:- Characters were well designed and thought off. The cast performed very well to support the thought behind the characters, even supporting cast was excellent in portraying their character very well.
Music:- No stand out track was their, but dont take me wrong the music is well designed and well placed in instances to amplify the over all efect.
Overall:- An excellent show in mystery genre and has a bit of romance in between but if your are looking for steaming romance show then this is not the show you are looking for.

Story:-
Story is well crafted and well paced, their is no dull moment or unbearable moment in story. Story is all about how hate transforms to affection and then to love.
Characters:- Characters are lovable with good logic behing their actions and acting done by cast was great.
Music:- No standout music tracks but its not bad either, it is background music and it serves its purpose.
Overall a lightweight romance show filled with lovable moments and has great logic and hold together itself well. Recomended for beginners, still veterans can enjoy it as a break.
