I am a new fan of Yoon So Hee loved her in Let's Eat and I loved her in here... made me nearly cry a couple times. I liked that the show was mostly done by (70% of the time) the younger casts, the story has and had really good potential both So Hee and Won Geon were a good-looking pair and acted REALLY well I can say that they were casted well. Also, Hyoyoung made me hate her character so much so I guess she makes a good villain! As for the adults I am not really a big fan of Nam Goong Min but I gave him and Lee So Yeon a chance, So Yeon is a pretty looking woman, so she was bearable for me. However, I found Nam Goong Min, a bit short compared to his younger actor. In the past he seemed to be pretty tall looking and then 12 years came and made him pretty short compared to his friends who seemed to have grown quite well, additionally, I think his face wasn't too fit for the role, to be honest. I feel like the adult version and young version didn't quite look like each other it's just my opinion! He felt miscast to me. Then, their acting was just okay to me as for everyone around them they were fine.. Music was good placed in the right places knowing the show was cut short made me immediately turned off and come to the conclusion of a rushed ending due to the cut. However, I ended up watching it til the end. I have never seen that happen to a 50 episode drama before but 50 would've been too long to support the story anyway so I didn't mind much, just the rushed ending was a problem. (I've come to learn to hate those kind of endings) the planning for the number of episodes could've been planned better so they wouldn't have to result in cutting episodes to start with. Things I would've changed The name of the show (had nothing to do with soybean soup or wild chives! Made this show a 20 episode drama in the beginning instead of 50 (Start small and extend if needed) Take out the adult versions! make the drama a teen drama instead on teen pregnancy <- (not a spoiler, it was a part of the synopsis!)
