I don't care what you like... if you like kdramas you should watch this one.

Every episode was extremely special; I never thought "I can't wait for the next one" after finishing an episode. Not because there wasn't any excitement but because each episode was so full that I could wait to live with whatever they gave me. I also had patience whenever an "arc" stayed for too long. Every story and character was so special. You will hate them and you will love them but you will also understand them so dearly. Of course, you'll fall in love with the main lead but that's not the story. The story is all about Ra MiRan's character which couldn't be any better.

All the small details. All the memories. All the connections. They were all beautiful.

I have some regrets about the final episode somehow it felt rushed like a movie ending. The main concerns were resolved way too fast after a long build-up. But like I said they weren't the point. Kang ho's real 30something character & life wasn't the point and his revenge was more so. There wasn't a reason for us to dwell more than necessary over his revenge and adult life. We needed to know what was needed to fulfill the story of his relationship with his mom and what led him back to her.

In a way, my regrets regarding the ending are a little subjective. I wanted to see a different future for him. Living happily managing the farm with Mijoo, who liked painting nails more than anything, and him, who's a prosecutor thorough and thorough, didn't work well with me. I kept imagining a season 2 where (after LDH finishes the military - yes I thought far enough) he goes back as a lawyer (his license gets reinstated) and continues his work. I would also love to see the rest of the characters including the twins live their lives normally with bliss.
