Enjoyable Drama, Chemistry is peak, Acting is Baeksang, Story is average.
***IMPORTANT***: Watch this drama with reasonable expectations, if you have too high or unrealistic expectations, you will curse and hate the story/writing. I have experienced with this type of style of writing and story, so it doesn't bother me as much as the many other views expressed and thoroughly enjoyed it.The drama first set us up with a slow beginning about our leads and how they became the way they are. Throughout the episodes, it does pick up and pull you in pretty well with tear jerking performances and longing for the next episodes of our leads.
(+) Chemistry was phenomenal, the lead's eyes were just enough for you to know, "yeah, these mfs are in love, nothing can break their bonds"; as it is strong as a covalent/hydrogen bond.
(+) Cinematography was beautiful, camera shots, the visuals, the color gradients, the balance, etc. were all eye captivating that doesn't bore or hurt your eyes with excessive color contrast like most dramas. The leads acted VERY, VERY, well; I could see that they put their soul into this drama, when they cry, I CRY.
(- +) Now, the story/writing is nothing peak or new out of Kdramas, it is expected of a rom-com and is NOT thriller level competent. So do not expect logical or even thought-twisting writing. There is cliches thrown here and there, not a crazy amount but I'd say moderately cliche. One word I'd say about the writing and story is "Average", this doesn't mean it makes the whole drama dogshit and utterly garbage, it just means that it's there as a base to hold the lead's story or journey together afloat, nothing complex or gets you thinking in bed.
^^Overall, it is a nice watch, gets you in your emotions, heart, and rooting for the characters, and is also eye candy. Personally, was never too disappointed in any episodes. ^^
