At least it's short?

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad show at all, but I have some big problems with it.

At first, I didn't know it's a web-drama, because I wanted to watch another Kdrama with Kim Jiwon, and that's how I find it on Netflix.

I liked the premise of the story. It's not original per se, but in the Kdrama world it was fresh. It doesn't felt like a Kdrama, at all, at first. It was like a typical indie TV show. I wasn't a fan of the documentary style, because in some cases it was weird.

The characters were okay, nothing special, just ordinary people, and that was the point anyway.

The first half was fun with the two main lead characters. Their romance felt real and natural, but after we realized what happened and why, it was a bit annoying to me. I get the point why she lied about herself, but doing all that with the guy, and just leave him, and even when they meet again, there was no explanation.

The most irritating part of this show is that the character NEVER talk about their issues. I know, I know, that's how it works in real life as well, and this series is kinda trying to do the same, but it was still annoying, especially, because she lied to everyone, not just the guy. Overall, they were cute and all, but not the best couple I've seen.

As for the secondary couples. It was obvious from the start what's gonna happen with Rin and Kyung. Their relation was too good on the surface. They always hide their problems.

Kang Gun and Sun Young were more interesting at first, but their ending was "meh", and honestly, dumb as hell. I don't even understand what was the point of their romance if they wanted to end like that.

The funny thing is that the most interesting and best couple of the show is the actress girl with the cop guy.

And that's all, basically, because there's nothing more to say. This show is just an ordinary story about ordinary people.

It wasn't bad, but if I want to watch something like this, I will watch "NORMAL PEOPLE" again, even tho that's not a Kdrama! That's how you do a story like this.
