Good Points (+10): A show which moved my heart despite I knew what was going to happen with outstanding acting, a very very strong female lead, interesting side characters, great character interactions, outstanding chemistry between main couple, great character development with 2nd couple, heart-wrenching scenes parallel to corresponding sound tracks, tons of emotional brain wreck powered by excellent acting and great screen grabber points at many parts of the entire drama. I don't, in the slightest, have any problem with how Korea is depicted cuz I myself know very less about it (I have seen few peeps complain). I heavily care about the character interactions which was done amazingly, even with side characters. The show tried to depict multiple themes which at few times felt kinda sudden but I liked them anyhow! Very Outstanding Show!Bad Points(-1): Clichés, unnecessary death of 2nd couple, felt just too many clichés, unnecessary content - I felt the villagers interaction to be not more than useless in later part of show (except the part where they receive Seri's Choice New Product from Seo Dan's Mom), I don't understand why Yoon Se-ri and Ri Jung Hyuk cannot live together in Seoul, I feel some parts in show were ughh kinda they could have done this different way?
Overall, in front of the good points, I can only deduct 1 point since this series is just outstanding!

I liked the amazing acting by the cast and the most amazing I felt was by the main couple and the amazing chemistry they developed (except the ending). I liked the OST and the moments where the OST's were used. Big thump's up from me on that! I was drawn in the story by the main villian and ML and I definitely liked that. I cannot say I completely agree with the way story developed, which in it's entirety felt dragged out upto certain extent, but it wasn't bad at all, except the fricking ending which annoys me to no end.
Even after seeing amazing performances from the cast, even after experiencing cute moments powered by OST's, things were left out and the ending was frustrating. I feel this heavy need to express how much of joy the series was for me for it's entirety and that I fuckin loved this series until the last few eps. I found it very annoying that nearing it's end, the series decided to trample on the cute and forward-going relationship it built itself on. I agree that during the series there were many up's-and-down's but they had their lovely moments wherein they became closer each step. But when everything gets sorted in the end, the series decides to reset the relationship or move tons of steps backwards. They had lived with each other, they had their cute moments, they respected each other, they loved each other, they wanted each other. But it looked as if nothing of these mattered in the end and it irritated and frustrated me to a large extent that the series tend to act like all those cute lovely moments between couple in-between the series didn't happened. Like oh my god, the way FML acted towards each other makes me rethink whether those moments actually happened in the series or not and it just makes me so much fricking sad man, it's just unbearable, it just gives me headache ughh!! I understand what Prosecutor Na said to FML in her living room regarding same thing, increase of fights and then breakup and what the f that really felt like happening. Why the f they changed FML's character nearing the end huh, she's so much nitpicking bruh! And I don't even know how the f ML is handling that bruh! I just felt that they were way more close before than they were after they resolved their things and it's very sad for me. Everything was reduced to a shitty relationship!!!! Ughh this gives me headache man!
Only reason I'm giving this series anything beyond a 6.0/10 (which would have ben 9/10 thanks if not for the ending) is thanks to amazing acting and the entire journey of drama except the last few eps! I just hate them so f much!
*PS: Ik there were many cliches anol that shii but this was my first KDrama so I'll give them a pass!
