Truly beautiful, no unnecessary Drama

I truly loved watching this, it made me feel really cozy and warm.

Actors: I can’t really complain about anyone, they were all good choices for their roles and did a solid good job at playing them. The only thing I’ll maybe say is that sometimes the male Leads dub sounded a little dull in comparison to what his expressions looked like (this might have been enhanced by the fact that the dubs weren’t always in sync - which was a little distracting at times). I absolutely bought the main couples chemistry.

I’ll also use this spot to give a shout out to the OST which was really well chosen (except for the weird English lyrics maybe, but we’re used to that aren’t we).

Plot: this was pure love. No unnecessary Drama, frustration or anything (just what I needed after the last Drama I watched was only that). We follow two people through their (a little unusual) first love. Some parts might have been a little unrealistic but that’s okay, isn’t that what Dramas are for.

Here’s my bit of critique: I felt that sometimes some scenes didn’t quite make sense (somebody finding something out that they had already been told before etc.), but I’ve seen this happen with quite a few smaller productions, it’s not really a big deal.

Then especially at the beginning there where some jumps from past to present etc. Which didn’t really make clear where we’re at right now, so it took me a while to be able to really follow (this didn’t happen in later episodes though, all in all the quality really seemed to increase the further the Drama progressed).

Now this point is merely based on personal preference: since the pre-relationship episodes were quite many, without really that much happening, I personally would have wished for them to be a little shorter, and instead give the side couples a little more screen time, or time to develop their relationship, I would have loved to see more of especially one couple... And also show a little more of the honeymoon phase of the main couple. Also the little Drama that does happen accumulates in one spot, they could have maybe spread that a little, it felt a little much as it was, since the whole story had progressed quite slowly before.

Now it seems like I only have bad things to say, since that part got so long, but honestly if you need something nice, lighthearted, not too long but incredibly sweet watch this one. It won’t kill you with anticipation, frustration or heartbreak, but it’s surely worth the while.
For some reason I even cried a little when it was over...
