If I had to describe this drama in one word, 'Beautiful' would be it. I wasn't anticipating it and started it because the title drew me in and I'm so damned glad that I did. This is one of the best written drama stories of this year and I can't not write a review for such a gem. When I first heard the synopsis, I was very skeptical about how the drama could tackle the serious aspect of the plot, with it being promoted partly as a comedy. I didn't want the depth of the main leads' situation to be overshadowed. And as I write this review, having finished the final episode, I'm left with a feeling of bittersweet satisfaction. I love this drama for being so different and tackling such an ambiguous issue. I love it for showing such complex characters, for having them portray so many facets of a person going through such an issue. I've had personal experience with cheating in my own family and I learnt so much from that time in my life and understood this vast greyness behind the black and white way cheating is viewed as in our society. I LOVE this drama for breaking from those stereotypes and trying to show different kinds of ways it happens and I hope for all those people who view cheating as 'wrong', through this drama, they can understand to a certain extent that sometimes, there is no right or wrong, that there is so much more going on beneath the surface that leads a person to do something like that.

Acting:
The entire cast has played their role so well! This is evident in the amazing chemistry between all of them. Especially loved the two main leads. Not for a second did I ever think of them as Song Ji Hyo or Lee Sun Gyun. That's how immersed in this drama their acting made me.

Music:
Great songs overall and 2 I instantly fell in love with are- Mistake by Park Won & That Kind of Night by Urban Zakapa.

This was one of the best drama experiences of this year and I hope many many more people can enjoy it too. For all those people who're unsure if they should start this drama, please definitely give it a try. Whatever your views on cheating, I'm sure you'll discover something new about yourself and about the complexities of human relationships after watching this.

I was honestly not anticipating this drama much but what an amazing surprise it has been! Even though there were some flaws in the earlier episodes, this drama has constantly gotten better and better and now at the 13th episode, I can't seem to stop smiling at the gorgeousness that is our main couple. It captures the essence of first love so beautifully and without using the numerous usual cliche tropes we see in k-dramas. Watching Bok Joo start to like Joon Hyung and both of them falling for each other more and more as their relationship advances is so reminiscent of similar experiences everyone has sometime or the other in their lives. To people who've fallen in love before, it is the best kind of nostalgic ride, letting us live those small, defining moments once more and marvel and grin at how once, we were exactly like our 2 leads. Moreover, to all those who are yet to experience love, it's a wishful dream for an experience like Bok Joo's and Joon Hyung's. And for everyone who once had love and now yearns for it, this drama is sure to make you ache even more for the giddy, passionate and unforgettable feeling of 'first love'.

I absolutely love Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk in this drama! They've breathed life into their characters and made them their own, so much so that I can't imagine anyone else ever doing these 2 roles more justice than them.

Looking forward to the coming episodes! Hope the drama keeps on riding this momentum!
