Romance fanatic beware. If you are into long-suffering and often one-sided love you may like this, but if you need a sweet, snuggly love, steer clear. I enjoyed the concept of an endearing love in terms of the person only loving this one person their whole lives and really pursuing it with everything they have.
The series revolves around a group of friends. And it covers their lives from high school, through college and apparently into adulthood. It is presented in a different sense. It starts out in the present and during episode one it takes you back into the past. 95% of the series revolves around their past and the last few episodes takes you back to the present. So it’s kinda like telling the story in reverse or catching you up to speed on how they got where they are.
The 2 Leads really seem to have a genuine chemistry when they were around each other however it was often offset by the FL character or script which was an individual that really did not appear to have any passion or display any type of emotion. One hand you have a male that was very passionate, often displaying immature behavior and some controlling tendencies. Then on the other hand we had an emotionless FL who seemed to maintain the same facial expression the entire time, who never yells, who never gets excited, her voice stays the same the entire time. I believe throughout the series she smiled twice. So the only emotion that we saw from her was a mellow, neutral face and one that was sad. It was kind of bland for a romance series. To sum up her character she is like that daughter-in-law of a rich family that stays sweet to the end. Sheepish.
I know that this show has a high rating but for me it was somewhat depressing. It was definitely a slow paced drama, one that is for mature people in terms of communication and relationships. Let me be clear I don’t need bubbly and romantic comedies but for a romantic series I definitely expected something a little more than this. The first 21 episode consisted of the ML pursuing the FL, genuinely, openly, with everything out on his sleeves while our FL treated him like a nuisance, disregarded him and often looked down on him. In essence, if a girl says she doesn’t like you just leave her alone but of course that didn’t happen here. For me it was a little hard to watch because you know someone really loves the other person but that person is not interested in them and seriously treats them like they have wronged them in some sort of way. But as a viewer we know it didn’t happen so it’s even harder to watch. To correct myself, as youth the male lead was attentive, friendly, helpful and supportive. Then the female changed.
What I like most about the series was the scenery and the music. What I dislike was the lack of emotion and the FL character. It’s never really explained why she what is the way she is and it was just kind of boring. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a show to watch in between something great. I would also recommend this to someone that is a long suffering romantic but not my hopeless romantic or anyone that loves a great worthy romance. You’d be greatly disappointed looking for that here.
overall I gave it a seven because it wasn’t terrible but I really did feel that it was lacking the necessary emotion from one of the main characters. Also it took 22 episodes for the leads to actually get together only to face conflict a few episodes later and then guess, time skip, fairy dust and happily ever after. The conflict and pursuit was saturated in this series, while I felt deprived of the enjoyment of the loving relationship, the growth of their relationship and the cute moments. They had very few of them although the ending was not terrible.
