Great review.... thanks!!!! I was first crushed and had trouble sleeping that night, but after further reflection, I have come to the opinion that although the ML is a nice guy, he has a lot of growing up to do. For some reason, the scene where he didn't want to wait in line for something his girlfriend was craving kind of bothered me. If this situation had occurred at the beginning of their relationship, he would have waited a week in line for her. And also that he never asked "why" Yumi wanted to separate also bothered me, I mean geez, you were with her for over a year.
There are similarities I guess. A bunch of guys, a poor girl. But the lead guy doesn't bully her. No college or high school setting. No rich mother dictating the ML's life. Its still a very good drama, and I have second lead syndrome despite loving the ML :)
