Thumbs up with the development of the story!

It started with the main characters in unusual backgrounds. With busy career lines, health issues, cold and dull emotions, no one can expect how to make their ends meet. But the storyline gradually develops at a constant pace by becoming humane and more lovely towards the end. No pressures to love and they just allowed fate to draw them together. And this is what made it beautiful.

The supporting characters added majority of the weave in the story. I unexpectedly realize that they are the ones that made a huge impact to my tears in almost every episode. The OST and visuals are also excellent!

I wish there would be more happy details in the ending, like Kang proposing to Cha Young, or Cha Young managing the seaside restaurant. Their chemistry was really good!!

The story is good at two-thirds of its entirety.

I just don't feel good about the immature decisions they made and not being able to stand up on their own, even if they're already on the right ages. Also, I don't like the way they keep on lying to each other, even if they are white lies, so to keep bothering the other person. The storyline towards the end looked rushed though which left me thinking whether there would be season 2.

Other than these, the acting and OST are excellent. I love the corporate office and career culture, the restaurant dine-outs and soju sessions, hangover soup, and coffee. I appreciated the Korean hospitality of offering food and drink to visitors and companions.

The chemistry between Joon Hee (Jung Hae In) and Jin Ah (Son Ye Jin) is superb in this story. I love their stolen dates and moments. Joon Hee has a very much teasing and playful character. He draws Jin Ah to the fun and thrills of young, unrequited, and out of the ordinary love. They always find themselves amidst awkward situations where they pretend to hide their feelings from the people around, and this made the early episodes fun to watch.

I'm a fan of honeymoon stages in a relationship so I enjoyed the dating episodes of the story.
