"People need someone with whom they can be truly selfish"

It's my 4th time of watching this. When I saw it first I rated it as 7 and about a year ago I rated it 8,5.

It has aged well. I saw this the first time when I was 15 and the themes didn't feel as important to me then. Now, when I'm older I can see the whole series in a new light. It deals with the stereotypical ideas of what being a woman/man should be, and it challenges it. The love story is really interesting and kind of odd, but also there is understandable circumstances. Some stereotypical moments, but they seemed to at least have original results.

I really liked your main character. She was really strong woman who was good at her job, but not that good with love or showing her emotions. "Momo" was a man that just wanted to live freely. He also seemed to have little identity crisis over all of this. Every character was faulty in some ways and did mistakes, but that just made me feel more closer to them (I really liked the counselor even if I'm not sure if he is that good with his job...). Main character's best friend was also awesome!

Editing was something you would except for an old drama (so not really that awesome...). It was so snappy and fast, so in terms of editing it never felt draggy. That being said I didn't really like how some of the dancing scenes where edited/filmed, but it was still ok.

For me, it really hit off after ep 6. Will probably rematch this again in the future!!
